Have you noticed an increase in your electric bill?

Due to higher usage, you may see an increase in your electric bill.

As expected, with everyone streaming, video chatting, gaming and working from home these days, we've seen a spike in Internet and electrical usage. Along with the extremely warmer then normal temperatures and air conditioners running longer then normal, some residents usages have increased. Meaning most will see increases in their electric bills.

Wi-Fi: improve your signal

wfsigOver the past few months, the Internet has been more of a lifeline than ever, streaming movies and live TV, connecting us to work, to our friends and to our families. Whether we are binge-watching the entire season of Yellowstone, working through Microsoft Meeting, the kids are “in class” via Google Meet or we’re using Zoom for a virtual happy hour—we have become accustomed to live streaming almost daily.

Is an electric vehicle right for you?

Everyone who drives is very familiar with the task of pulling into a gas station to fuel up their vehicle; it has been a longstanding part of car ownership for decades. However, just because something has been done a certain way for decades, does not mean it’s the best way to go about it. With electric cars, the way you “fuel” or recharge your car leads to a much better “fueling” experience! Not sure if going electric is right for you?

We’re back at it; we are scheduling free Internet installs again!
