Upgrading or Replacing Electrical Outlets

Electrical outlets or receptacles are one of the most used electrical interfaces in a home. Apart from switches, people are constantly plugging and unplugging devices from outlets. Since they are so commonly used, it is important to make sure they stay in good working order.

Keep an eye out for problems like:

• Loose outlets
• Sparking or arcing sounds
• Plugs that won’t stay tight
• Broken outlets or faceplates
• Malfunctioning GFCI or AFCI outlets

After living in a home for a while, the most used outlets may need to be upgraded. Changing outlets is also a great, low-cost way to redecorate. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Get outlets upgraded as soon as problems are noticed or when renovating or repainting rooms around the home.

How to Tell If You Have Breaker Panel Problems

The breaker panel is one of the most important components of the electrical system in a home. It connects the power from the grid to the home and distributes it safely. When problems arise they can be serious, but how do you know when there is trouble?

Some clear signs that you need breaker panel repairs are:

• Breakers flip frequently.
• Electricians have a hard time finding replacement breakers.
• Fuse panels are still in service.
• Signs of overheating or arching are present.
• Breakers won’t reset after tripping.
• Outdated wiring is present in the home.

The breaker panel is the heart of the power system in your home. When things aren’t right, the whole home could fall victim to the dangers of electricity. If any of these deficiencies are present, don’t hesitate to call Solaris Electric & Plumbing immediately for fast and effective solutions.

Benefits of Installing a Generator

Florida is no stranger to power outages. Most often the outages are the result of an extreme weather event that has caused a grid-scale outage but there are often smaller transient outages. Regardless of the cause, an electrical outage is a huge inconvenience. Luckily, a standby generator can be used to prevent a loss of power during an outage. The benefits of installing a backup generator are:

• Safety: When the power goes out, important safety devices will go down with it. Whether that means life-saving medical equipment, security systems or simply the refrigerator, losing power is a safety issue.
• Reliability: So much of our modern technology needs electricity to work. With a generator, homes never lose access to power or lighting.
• Convenience: Few things are as inconvenient as losing power. By installing a generator, life can go on about as normal until the grid power is restored.
• Comfort: When the power goes down, so do air conditioners and heaters. Home generators can be sized so that they power climate-control equipment during an outage. They can also ensure that hot water stays available.
