Questions
What should I do when my lights go out?
Check if neighbors have power. If only your home is affected, contact us immediately. Use flashlights, not candles. Keep refrigerator closed and reset tripped breakers.
How can I save money on my electric bill?
Upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, install programmable thermostats, maintain HVAC systems, and fix electrical leaks. Our energy audits identify specific savings opportunities for your property.
Is there a safety issue with round fuses instead of circuit breakers?
Fuses are generally safe but less convenient. Most insurance companies require breaker panel upgrades. We help transition fuse boxes to modern circuit breaker systems when needed.
How do I reset a tripped circuit breaker?
Locate the tripped breaker (mid-position or red indicator), switch it fully off then on. If it continues tripping, contact us for professional diagnostics and repairs.
What is a GFI?
A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) outlet protects against electrical shock in moisture-prone areas. It detects imbalances and automatically shuts off power, preventing electrocution hazards in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor locations.
Should I take special precautions during holidays?
Inspect holiday lights for damage, avoid outlet overloading, limit connected strands to three unless specified, and never leave lights unattended to prevent electrical fires.
