How Can I Keep My Electricity Bill From Rising Too High This Winter?

We understand why you haven’t thought much about how winter could affect your electricity bill. Most homes in the Twin Cities use gas heating, not electric heating, so you won’t have to worry about how heating could drive up your electricity bill. Nevertheless, most homeowners will notice their

What are those wires connecting to my house?

Will my electrical wires pass a home inspection?

You’d be surprised by how many homes have electrical wires that aren’t up to code. Some of these wires are simply old or made of outdated material. Others are damaged, worn out, or even dangerous.  Of course, it’s difficult to tell whether wires are up to code just by looking at them. That’s

grounding wire

September 12, 2019

Why do electrical circuits need to be grounded?

Electrical devices are “grounded” when they connect to grounding devices for safety reasons. Grounding provides a safe “path of least resistance” for stray voltage to follow. Grounding systems direct stray voltage into the ground where it discharges safely instead of building up in places where it

August 29, 2019

Should I Upgrade My Outlets?

If your electrical outlets are old, warped, damaged, or malfunctioning, it may be time to replace them. Old outlets wear out over time, diminishing their effectiveness or even putting you in danger. Upgraded outlets prevent that danger and make your home’s electricity more effective at the same
