Fall and winter usually mean more demand on your electrical system: space heaters, holiday lights, longer nights, generators, and more time spent indoors.

A little preparation now can help you catch electrical issues before they become a problem in the middle of winter.

⚡ Check outlets and switches for heat or discoloration
⚡ Pay attention to flickering lights or frequently tripping breakers
⚡ Test smoke & CO detectors
⚡ Make sure outdoor outlets are GFCI protected
⚡ Consider whole-home surge protection
⚡ Have backup power ready before you actually need it

We put together a quick guide on getting your home’s electrical system ready for fall and winter.

Got an EV or thinking about getting one? 🚗⚡

One of the first questions that usually comes up is whether you can just plug it into a regular outlet or if it’s worth installing a Level 2 charger.

For some people, Level 1 charging is completely fine. For others, waiting that long to charge gets old pretty quick.

We put together a quick breakdown of Level 1 vs. Level 2 charging, how much faster Level 2 is, and what your home may need electrically before installing one.

If an EV is in your future, give this one a read before deciding what setup you want at home.
