Pretty proud of this one.

This Bird Haven project came in at 480kW. Definitely not your typical install.

Projects at this scale take a lot of planning, coordination, and attention to detail, and it’s always rewarding seeing it all come together.

Grateful for the team that made it happen.

Five Star Friday.

We say it a lot, but it’s the truth, the job isn’t done until the customer is taken care of the right way.

Appreciate the kind words and the trust.

Still have a Zinsco panel in your home? ⚠️

These panels were commonly installed from the 1950s–1970s, and while they may still “work,” they come with a serious hidden risk.

Zinsco breakers are known to fail to trip during overloads or short circuits. That means instead of shutting off power like they’re supposed to… they can keep feeding electricity into a problem — increasing the risk of overheating and fire.

How to identify one:
• Usually labeled “Zinsco” or “GTE-Sylvania”
• Often has colored breaker handles (red, blue, green)
• Older panel, typically installed decades ago

If your home still has one, it’s not something to ignore.

We’re not here to scare you, just to make sure you’re informed and protected.

If you’re unsure what panel you have, or want a second opinion, give us a call. We’re happy to take a look and walk you through your options.
