If you are not one of the lucky ones to have AC or a heat pump to cool your home you will need to resort to other options.  Attic fans are a great way to help eliminate some of the heat. You can install a new attic fan with a heat / humidity thermostat to turn on and off when the weather dictates. There are also solar options if getting power up to your attic proves to be a challenge. Give us a call and we can go over options available to us or if you have already purchased your attic fan we will be happy to run the the circuitry needed. If you have a portable AC window unit and you are tired of not being able to turn on anything for fear of the breaker tripping we  can fix that as well. we can run a dedicated outlet to power up your portable AC unit. Give us a call. Enjoy the summer! and stay Cool!

The NEC code requires all kitchen, garage, bathroom and outside outlets to have gfci protection. This code was put in place to protect your family from faulty appliances burning down your home but sometimes you do get nuisance tripping. The first thing you need to do is find your gfci and press hard on the reset button. If the button pops again or chatters while trying to reset it take a look around and see what is plugged into that circuit. Most of the time it is the same type of culprit, water features pumps, landscape lighting, extension cords, old freezers and refrigerators. Unplug everything on the dead circuit and try to reset the gfci. Once the gfci resets plug these in one at a time until you find the faulty item. If you have tried this and you still have no luck give us a call and our service technician would be happy to help.
