Who turned out the lights during the Superbowl!

Short answer, not Circuit Breaker Sales!

Who watched this year's SuperBowl XLVII between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens?

Who remembers when the lights went out?  During one of the most high profile sporting events in the world, I think everyone appreciated the value of electricity (thank goodness the entire facility did not go off line).

And hopefully, this event will help educate the many folks who need education about the dangers of improper maintenance and/or coordination of your electrical system. 

During the recent down economy, we have seen many "bean counters" try to skip a maintenance cycle or "cut corners" in an attempt to save money.  Our experience says that these savings are usually temporary and in many instances non existance (replacing something that catastrophically fails almost always costs more than normal maintenance).  Just like in football, sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

But the good news here is this was not a maintenance neglect issue, just a mis-coodination. 

Read the whole Palmer Engineering report right here.  And how about those Cowboys!  I think our lights went out a few years ago.  :(
