No. Existing, code-compliant services are generally grandfathered. The rule applies when you perform work that involves service equipment upgrades or replacement.

Whole-home surge protection is a device installed at your main electrical panel that protects your appliances, electronics, HVAC systems, and smart devices from voltage spikes. These surges can come from lightning strikes, utility switching, or internal sources like motors turning on and off. With modern homes relying on sensitive electronics, whole-home surge protection is strongly recommended when upgrading service equipment. It’s an inexpensive way to prevent thousands of dollars in damage.

Most homes with open roof space or land for ground mounts are excellent candidates. Our team provides a free site evaluation to determine solar potential, estimated savings, and system design.

Yes. Solar reduces your electric bill by generating your own clean power. Many customers save thousands over the lifetime of their system, especially when combined with federal and state incentives.

Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on system size and roof complexity. The roof replacement itself is usually the longer step.

Yes, in many cases. Technology has advanced so much that modern panels can generate more power in the same footprint. Plus, new incentives, warranties and battery integration options make upgrades attractive.

Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during a power outage for safety reasons. However, when paired with battery backup, solar can continue to power your home during outages. We design systems that can include battery storage for backup power and energy resilience.

Yes. We install residential Level 2 chargers that provide faster charging speeds than standard outlets. We also install commercial EV charging stations for businesses and municipalities.

Not always, but in some cases a panel upgrade is required to handle the added load. Our licensed electricians will review your system and recommend the best solution.

The right size depends on what you want powered during an outage. We can design systems that power just the essentials or provide whole-home backup power.

Yes. We install, service, and maintain standby generators to ensure they’re ready when you need them most.

Yes. We are an authorized standby generator dealer for Briggs & Stratton. We sell, install, and service Briggs & Stratton whole-home, and partial-home standby generators, providing reliable automatic backup power during outages. Our standby generators are permanently installed, run on natural gas or propane, and automatically restore power within seconds of an outage. We handle the entire process—including system sizing, permitting, electrical and transfer switch installation, coordination with utility, startup, and ongoing maintenance, to ensure your generator is dependable when you need it most.

Energy storage systems (batteries) store electricity from solar panels or the grid for use during outages or peak utility rates.

In many cases, yes. We can retrofit energy storage onto existing systems or design an integrated solar + storage package for new installations.
