FAQs
What cutting-edge electrical technologies do you offer in Washburn?
We design and install advanced solutions such as smart-home automation, high-efficiency LED lighting networks, EV charging stations, solar photovoltaic arrays with battery storage, and state-of-the-art load-management panels. All systems are tailored to local code requirements and the unique climate considerations of Washburn.
Are your technicians certified to work with these new technologies?
Yes. Every field technician holds a North Dakota Journeyman or Master Electrician license and receives ongoing factory training from leading manufacturers like Tesla, Schneider Electric, and Lutron. This ensures safe, code-compliant installation and up-to-date knowledge of rapidly evolving equipment.
How does upgrading to a smart electrical panel improve safety and efficiency?
Next-generation panels use solid-state breakers and real-time monitoring to detect overloads, arc faults, and ground faults faster than mechanical breakers. They also let you track circuit-level energy consumption on a smartphone app, helping you identify waste and lower utility bills by 10–20 % on average.
Can you integrate solar power with battery storage for my home or business?
Absolutely. We perform a site assessment, design the PV array, size the lithium-ion battery bank, and handle all permitting with the City of Washburn and utility interconnection paperwork. The hybrid system stores excess solar energy for use at night or during grid outages, providing up to 48 hours of backup power depending on the configuration.
What does an EV charger installation typically cost and how long does it take?
Level-2 residential chargers start around $1,200 installed, while commercial dual-port units average $4,000–$6,000. A standard home installation takes 3–4 hours once permits are approved; commercial jobs vary from one day to a week depending on trenching and load-center upgrades.
Do you offer emergency electrical services in Washburn and nearby areas?
Yes, our on-call technicians are available 24/7. We respond to outages, storm damage, equipment failures, and critical system alarms within 60 minutes inside Washburn city limits and within 90 minutes for surrounding communities such as Wilton, Underwood, and Turtle Lake.
