Steve ran Ethernet through our house so we could hardwire our access points instead of relying on Wi-Fi repeaters. Now we have fantastic Wi-Fi throughout the house and we never have trouble when multiple people are using lots of bandwidth. We definitely should have done this sooner. A+ communication and service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my home’s electrical system inspected?

It’s recommended to have your electrical system inspected at least every 3-5 years, or sooner if you’re experiencing issues like flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outdated wiring. Regular inspections ensure safety, efficiency, and code compliance.

Can I install an EV charger at home, and what are the requirements?

Yes! We install home EV chargers for all major electric vehicle brands. Most installations require a dedicated 240V circuit, and depending on your home’s wiring, you may need an electrical panel upgrade. Our team can assess your setup and recommend the best solution.

What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?

Frequent breaker trips are often a sign of an overloaded circuit, faulty wiring, or a short circuit. Avoid resetting it repeatedly and instead, contact a licensed electrician to diagnose the issue safely and prevent potential fire hazards.
