Facebook Robbery
We really care about our friends and our customers. Many of you have probably seen stories in the news on the warnings of sharing too much information on social networking sites. It’s not just about protecting your children anymore – it’s about protecting yourself. Ask yourself, have you ever announced on your facebook status or tweeted that you’re excited for your vacation or that you’re on your way to go to a concert an hour away? Most of us have…And now these status updates are being seen by millions of people (often people you do not know). The information is being misused so please take some of these safety precautions before updating your facebook status.
1. Use privacy settings. This way you can choose who can see what.
2. Be careful what you post. Next time you go on vacation, post your pictures when you come back rather than while you’re still on vacation. Try to keep your travel plans a mystery so it’s unclear when you will be coming home.
3. Choose your friends wisely. Choose your facebook friends just as you would your real life friends.
4. Google yourself. You should know how much of your personal information is accessible to the public. Google your name and see for yourself how easy it is for someone to be able to find you.
5. Get a monitored alarm system. Having a home alarm system will help make you feel safer leaving your home during the day or while going on vacation. (We can help you set up your alarm and provide you with 24hr home monitoring as well as security cameras). Give us a call at 732-821-0200 to have our Security Alarm Specialist come to your home and discuss options that meet your needs. Feel free to visit our website for more information. http://www.friendlyelectric.com/Security.html

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Electricity – Even Professionally Trained Electricians Can Get Burned…
Electricity should never be taken lightly. This is the hand of a trained and professional electrician. Please remember that electricity is very powerful and should be respected. Don’t worry, pride was wounded more than anything. But we just wanted to let you know that even highly trained service technicians can run into issues so next time you consider the DIY (Do It Yourself) method – just realize that electricity is a powerful force to deal with.

Storm Watch…Middlesex County, NJ
This weekend has been a busy and stressful time for many of our customers We have received several emergency calls from our existing customers who were in need of sump pump battery back-ups, generators, and panel repairs. Our service technicians have been working extra hard to take care of you and we want to do everything we can to help. Saturday night we were out there cutting trees & clearing roads. Remember, if you have power outages, report them to the utility company and not the townships.
For all of our friends and customers… If you’re using portable generators, PLEASE make sure that you’ve placed the generator OUTSIDE! If it is in the garage, the carbon monoxide will travel into the home – even if the garage door is open. Don’t worry about the generator getting wet – it will be okay.
If you are using a standby generator and may not have gotten regular maintenance, please make sure that your exhaust is unobstructed.
Also – remember, that if you are in Middlesex County, the water contamination is still in effect. Flooding may have caused contamination at a local plant so stock up on bottled water and remember to boil your water for at least 1 minute before consuming it, using it to cook or bake with, or giving it your pets.
Keep your eyes out for an email we will be sending to our loyal customers with some money saving coupons for sump pumps and generators. If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, do so now! http://www.friendlyelectric.com/electric-news.html
