Your Electrical System Vacation in Granite Falls

Are you leaving on a vacation sometime soon? Before you leave, make sure your electrical system is ready for your vacation too. If you take a few extra steps before you leave, you’ll save yourself time and money.

1. Regarding the Lights

Don’t leave your lights on throughout your entire vacation to make it look like you’re home. Your electric bill will end up costing more than your mortgage, and house lights blazing all night looks suspicious.

Instead, purchase a light switch timer that will turn your lights on and off automatically according to the schedule you choose. Criminals keeping an eye on your home will notice lights flipping on and off, and will assume someone is inside. Amazon offers a number of these products, including this one from Honeywell.

2. Kill the Power to Your Washer and Dryer

Every section of your home left electrically active has the potential to go “haywire.” The fewer areas that remain on while you’re gone, the less risk your home has. You can avoid unnecessary electrical repairs by shutting off the power to your washer and dryer.

3. Unplug Appliances and Electronics

Before you leave, walk through your home and unplug all electronics. Items run through surge protectors are fine; just flip the switch on the unit.

Had several items to take care of: added outlet under sink for plug in garbage disposal, replaced bathroom fans and changed a few light switches. Professional workmanship including cleanup!

I’m a builder and needed an emergency upgrade to my electrical service in order to keep my project moving forward. My regular electricians attitude was “I’ll try to get there in the next 2 weeks “ I called Neighborhood Electric and explained my urgent need they readjusted their schedule and had a guy out to my job in under 90 minutes and had my project moving. Not only are they responsive, everyone you deal with from the office staff to the electrician getting it done are just really nice people.

I've found the folks at Neighborhood Electric to be very knowledgeable. They've been around a long time and have a great reputation, and their electrical contracting pricing is really fair compared to others in the area.
