RadioRa2 is a wireless light control system that provides convenient and intuitive control of lights, shades, audio-visual devices, and temperature in a single room or throughout a whole home. It installs easily, programs quickly, and operates reliably thanks to Clear Connect RF Technology. No more vampire loads. Use the plug-in appliance module to save energy by turning off standby power to appliances and other non-lighting loads such as monitors and audio/video equipment. The appliance module receives commands from sensors, dimmers, switches, or keypads.
You might also need to upgrade your electric service. That includes new meter socket, service entrance conductors, riser (mast), service head and proper grounding. Make sure your electrician is licensed and familiar with local electrical codes. Every village and city in Chicagoland is free to set their own rules and requirements when it comes to electrical installations. Many adopted 2001 National Electrical Code (NEC) or 2005 version. Village of Oak Brook goes by 2008 NEC which is very different from previous editions of NEC.
Size of electrical service is expressed in Amperes (Amps) and is limited by the ampacity of the main breaker eg. 100A or 200A. Virtually all homes connected to power grid have both 120 and 240 Volts coming in. The electric service upgrade doesn't change the voltage. The only thing that changes with a service upgrade is the amount of electricity available in your home. Service upgrade doesn't change your branch circuits and the house wiring. Your breakers will still trip if the circuits are overloaded.
