HomeOwners’ Resources

How Long Do Electrical Breakers Last?

Buying a home is an amazing milestone that gives you a solid foundation for your families future. It is always important to remember that your home will not stay brand new forever, and it is up to you to keep up on home maintenance and repairs.

There are very few "electrical emergencies" because electrical breakers stop anything bad from happening before it starts. Ask an electrician to give your home a much needed check-up.

What Is (GFCI) Ground-Fault Protection?

Ground-Fault Electrical Protection is designed with only you in mind. They are designed to protect you against any abnormal electrical spike that may be harmful. When that happens the GFCI trips the power to the off position until the electrical circuit returns to safe conditions.

Basically they act as "overprotective parents" making sure that you are safe whenever you are using electrical around water.

Where Do I Need Home Smoke Detectors, and How Long Do They Last?

There is NO home smoke or Carbon Monoxide detector on the market that lasts over 10 years. They begin to degrade passed the acceptable point of response time in case of a fire.

Ask Us - We run special programs to make sure safety like this is done in EVERY home. Summary Note: Swap smoke detector every 10 Years, don't wait.

What Is The Home Electrical Safety Code?

Never hurts to know what to expect when it comes to home safety codes. Safety maybe boring, but hope and plan for it to always stay that way. Ask an electrician to make sure you have the proper electrical protections around the home.

Is Whole Home Surge Protection Worth It?

Whole home surge protection stops surges from ruining the stuff you have plugged into your home. An electrical surge is a high voltage electrical event that travels through your AC power cable lines, potentially damaging home electronics and appliances.

What Are Smart Breakers (AFCI) Arc-Fault Protection?

While hanging a picture on a wall you accidentally put a nail through a wire. A traditional electrical breaker will not always trip. Arch-Fault breakers will sense the issue and trip before any hazard occurs.
