Net metering is a billing arrangement used for solar panels and other renewable energy systems. It allows homeowners and businesses to earn credits for the excess electricity their solar panels generate and feed back into the grid. These credits can then be used to offset the electricity they consume from the grid when their solar panels are not producing enough power, effectively allowing them to “bank” surplus energy and reduce their overall energy costs. Net metering promotes the adoption of renewable energy by providing a financial incentive for individuals and organizations to invest in solar power systems.
A commercial solar system offers several benefits, including reduced electricity costs, potential tax incentives, improved sustainability, and a positive brand image.

Embracing solar power demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, appealing to eco-conscious customers and investors. Overall, a commercial solar system can enhance financial, environmental, and corporate social responsibility aspects of a business.

Homes older than 50 years generally need to be updated and rewired. Old wiring can fail to support modern technological demands and could increase the risk of a house fire. Nearly 10% of all residential fires are caused by electrical problems, such as old wiring.
An electrical map is a detailed diagram of your home’s electrical system and it is usually mapped out by a licensed or experienced electrician. It is certainly possible to map out the circuits in your home but if you’re not experienced then it won’t be a very detailed map. To best ensure that your electrical map is accurately mapped out you should hire a licenced electrician.
Unfortunately we do not offer emergency electrical support. If you are having electrical issues we recommend that you contact your local electrician.
Although it is legal in most cases to do your own electrical work, one major concern is whether or not it is all up to code. If it does not meet code during an inspection when it comes time to sell your house you could end up having to pay an electrician which could cost you more in the long-run. Without adequate electrical knowledge you could end up running into issues down the road as well.
Surge protectors are devices specifically made to protect electronic equipment against voltage spikes. They handle voltage spike irregularities and maintain an even flow of power into devices. Surge protectors are often confused with power strips. Desktop computers, laptops, televisions, gaming systems, and charging phones should all be plugged into a surge protector, so they aren’t damaged in a storm. A power spike or power surge can shorten the life of these devices or even wipe out all of your data.
There are a number of factors that depend on whether or not it’s best to vacate your property such as how many tenants there are, age of the house, whether or not you have children, what company you hire, what rooms need to be rewired, and how the house is currently wired. Rewiring can involve ripping up floorboards and carpet which can create a lot of dust and make it an uncomfortable living space. It is highly advised to vacate if you have young children or if there are older people in the household.
It is normal for a breaker box to feel warm when current is passing through it but it should never feel hot. If it does feel hot you sould shut the power off manually and call a local electrician to come and assess the situation.
Lights flickering could mean a loose connection in that circuit or it’s possible the circuit could be overloaded. You could potentially have a more serious issue with your house wiring such as an electrical panel issue or an issue with the main connections to your home.
