FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

If your home still has a fuse box, is running on a 100-amp panel, or if you are adding a heavy load like a hot tub or EV charger, an upgrade is likely necessary.
Yes, the power must be disconnected by the utility company during the installation. It typically takes a full day, and we coordinate this to minimize your downtime.
Absolutely. One lightning strike or power grid surge can destroy thousands of dollars worth of appliances and electronics. A whole-home protector is a very smart investment.
Aluminum wiring used in the 60s and 70s is prone to expanding and contracting, which can cause loose connections and fire hazards. It should be evaluated and often replaced or mitigated.
