As summer rolls into Bucks County, PA, homeowners can expect higher temperatures and higher electrical demands. At Allphases Electric, we know how crucial it is to ensure your home's electrical system can handle the summer surge safely and efficiently. Here’s a guide to help you prepare your home and avoid any mid-season surprises!
1. Schedule an Electrical Inspection
Before the heat really sets in, it’s smart to schedule a professional electrical inspection. At Allphases Electric, our licensed electricians will check for outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and other hidden issues that could cause problems when your air conditioning and appliances are working overtime.
Tip: Homes older than 20 years are especially at risk for outdated electrical systems.
2. Upgrade Your Electrical Panel if Needed
Summer appliances like air conditioners, pool pumps, and outdoor lighting can put extra strain on your electrical panel. If your panel is outdated or frequently trips breakers, it may be time for an upgrade. Allphases Electric offers panel upgrade services designed to meet modern electrical demands safely and efficiently.
3. Install Surge Protection
Summer thunderstorms are common in Bucks County. Protect your home electronics and appliances by investing in whole-home surge protection. A surge protector installed directly into your electrical panel by Allphases Electric can prevent costly damage during a storm.
4. Prepare Your Outdoor Spaces
Summer means backyard barbecues, pool parties, and evening hangouts. Make sure your outdoor outlets, lighting, and wiring are up to code. Weatherproof outlets and GFCI protection are must-haves to keep your family safe outside.
Bonus: Adding landscape lighting? Allphases Electric can design and install energy-efficient outdoor lighting to enhance your yard’s beauty and security.
5. Consider Energy-Efficient Upgrades
Summer electric bills can soar without efficient appliances and lighting. Upgrading to LED lighting, ENERGY STAR® appliances, and programmable thermostats can make a significant difference. We’re happy to consult on smart upgrades that save energy and money long-term.
6. Don’t Forget Your Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are an inexpensive way to lighten the load on your air conditioner. Make sure yours are installed properly and spinning counterclockwise for maximum cooling. Need new fans installed? Allphases Electric has you covered.
