Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs Repair or Replacement

Monday, July 15th, 2024

If you’ve ever experienced a power outage (and you almost certainly have) you know exactly how life comes to a screeching halt without electricity. It’s the way we keep everything running, the way we stay connected to others and the world, and even the way we stay safe, with things like carbon monoxide detectors and home security systems.

Despite how critical electricity is to our lives, we don’t always pay much attention to how it gets to our various appliances and electronics. But we should! Your electrical panel keeps things flowing safely and effectively, so everything that needs power gets what it requires. How long has your electrical panel been doing this job? Is it having problems? Would you even have noticed? What should you do about it? We’ve got the answers.

A New Homeowner’s Guide to Generators

Monday, March 11th, 2024

Tennessee is a beautiful place to live. In Nashville, you’ve got all the culture and music you could ask for, with gorgeous countryside a short distance away. Sadly, though, Tennessee is ranked pretty poorly for safety, and one of the major reasons for this has to do with the weather. Tornadoes in the spring and summer and hail and ice storms in the winter can cause major hazards… and power outages.

When you rent your home, your landlord is responsible for making sure your building stays safe. Purchasing a home means that anything that happens to or in your home is your responsibility. What can new homeowners do to stay safe and prepare for emergencies? We recommend a generator, and there are some things you should know before purchasing one.
