Have you noticed how hard it is to find a good electrician these days?

The U.S. is in the middle of a nationwide electrician shortage, and it's already showing up in longer wait times, higher project costs, and unlicensed shortcuts that put homes at risk. It's a growing problem for homeowners trying to make upgrades, from EV chargers to solar panels to a basic light fixture.

In this episode of Plugged In, we talk with 26-year veteran electrician Matt Trout about why the shortage is getting worse, what home electrification means for demand, and how Qmerit is helping homeowners find qualified electricians for their next project.

Which home upgrade is next on your list? Let us know in the comments below.

It's the middle of one of the hottest days of the year. Your utility just cut your power.

This happened to thousands of West Coast homes this summer—and with droughts spreading and temperatures rising, it could keep happening around the country.

On the flip side, a home battery keeps your AC running, your fridge cold, and your family comfortable even when the grid goes down. Unlike a generator, no fuel, fumes, or noise are included.

Just power🔋 when you need it most.

Home charging saves EV owners around $10,000 over the life of their car. 🔋

Most people don't realize how much they're leaving on the table by relying on public charging. The savings from charging at home add up faster than you'd think.

And if you've got solar? Gasoline costs money. Public charging costs money. Sunlight? ☀️ Free!

See how home charging stacks up against public charging. ⚡ https://energysage.biz/4poCHjA

Should potato farmers be afraid of solar panels? 🥔

That's what a Michigan lawmaker claimed in a viral video—saying solar panels were poisoning crops, leaking metals, and dropping glass shards into the soil. He even pulled a popular potato chip company into it (but they say that never happened).

Funny enough, science proves that crops actually thrive on solar farms. And farmers who lease their land to solar developers? They're making tens of thousands of dollars.

Your electric bills are going to hurt this summer.

The average American household is expected to pay $778 in summer electricity costs—a 37% jump in just six years. But what if those hot summer days could power your AC instead of draining your wallet?

Solar lets you lock in your own rate and stop the utility company from deciding what you pay. Will you keep paying more every summer, or will you do something about it?

Millions of fans ⚽ Packed stadiums 🏟️ Full hotels. Busy restaurants. Games streaming from every screen. Air conditioners running through the record summer heat.

The is a reminder: our lives run on energy and demand is only growing.

But look around—the solution has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Those stadiums have massive parking lots. Those hotels have rooftops baking in the sun. That's prime real estate for solar and most of it is just sitting there.

And it doesn't stop there. In every home blasting the AC and streaming the game, those roofs could be working too.

Parking lots could become solar carports. Rooftops on stadiums, hotels, and homes could be covered in solar panels. The energy is there. We're just not capturing it.

We already have the technology. We already have the space. Now it's about turning everyday places into producers. https://energysage.biz/3SQCTfC

Real energy independence means not relying on a monopoly utility or volatile global energy markets to power your home.

When you go solar, you generate your own electricity, store it in a battery, and deploy it on your own terms. Fewer surprises. Less exposure to forces outside your control. More power in your hands.

As Independence Day approaches, we’re thinking about what independence can look like at home 🇺🇸

Coal had a 200-year head start. Solar caught up.

For the first time in American history, solar generated more electricity than coal in a single month. There are now enough solar panels to power 50 million U.S. homes, and that number doubles by 2034. Economics did what policy couldn't.

The only one question left: when will your home join the winning side of history?
