Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years or sooner if they show signs of wear, such as discoloration or yellowing. These are indicators that the device may no longer function properly. Regularly testing your smoke detectors and replacing the batteries annually can help ensure your home stays safe. If you’re unsure about the age or condition of your smoke detectors, we’re happy to assess them for you.

A fishy smell coming from an outlet often indicates overheating or burning of electrical components, such as wiring or insulation. This can be a sign of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or damaged wiring, all of which pose a serious fire risk. If you notice this smell, stop using the outlet immediately and contact a licensed electrician to inspect and address the issue. Safety first!

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device designed to protect you from electrical shock by shutting off power if it detects a ground fault or imbalance in the electrical current. GFCIs are commonly found in areas where water and electricity are near each other, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor outlets. To reset a GFCI, locate the outlet with the "TEST" and "RESET" buttons. Press the "RESET" button firmly until you hear a click, and the outlet should regain power. If it doesn’t reset or trips repeatedly, it may need further inspection by a licensed electrician.

If your A/C keeps tripping the breaker, it’s usually a sign of an issue with the A/C unit itself, such as a faulty motor, dirty coils, or a refrigerant problem. The breaker is doing its job by cutting off power to prevent overheating or electrical damage. We recommend having an A/C technician inspect your unit first to identify and fix the underlying issue. If the problem persists, a licensed electrician can ensure your breaker and wiring are functioning correctly.

You should consider upgrading your breakers if you experience frequent tripping, flickering lights, burning smells, or if your panel is outdated and unable to handle modern electrical demands. Upgrading is also recommended when adding high-powered appliances, EV chargers, or expanding your home or business. If you're unsure, our licensed electricians can assess your panel and recommend the best solution to keep your electrical system safe and efficient.

Whole-house surge protection safeguards your home’s electrical system, appliances, and sensitive electronics from power surges caused by lightning, utility fluctuations, and internal sources, reducing the risk of costly damage and ensuring long-term reliability.
