What can I expect when working with Coffin Electric?
We always do a full inspection to ensure that we aren’t applying a bandage to an already dangerously unsafe system. We will also give you a detailed list of what needs to be done and how much it will cost, with no hidden fees or additional “overlooked” items after the job begins.
How long do electrical panels last?
On average an electrical panel will last 25-40 years. If you’re unsure, call us and we can come out and ensure things are safe for your home.
Why do I need a whole home surge protector, I have power strips?
Almost everything nowadays has some type of a computer onboard and it’s probably likely you don’t have everything plugged into a decent surge protector. Having a whole home surge protects all your assets in your home and lets you rest knowing that everything is covered.
Why Electrical is No DIY
If you can get the results you want yourself without having to hire someone or drop too much money on materials and resources, DIY is a great way to go. On the flip side, there are some aspects of your home that you shouldn’t try to tackle on your own, and electrical work is one of them.
Space Heater Safety
Portable space heaters are a great way to stay cozy and warm in chilly winter weather, but they can also pose a danger to your home.
