Our certified electricians are proficient in the latest technologies and local programs, such as Newfoundland Power's Net Metering, ensuring our clients receive the most efficient and cost-effective green energy solutions, including the necessary wiring for high-efficiency heat pumps

  • This category covers the design and installation of systems that generate clean electricity on-site.

    • Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Installation
      Design and install a custom grid-tied or off-grid solar panel system. Generate your own clean electricity to reduce or eliminate utility bills and increase your home's value.

    • Ground-Mount Solar Array Installation
      Install a durable, high-output ground-mounted system, perfect for larger properties or homes where a rooftop installation is not ideal for maximum energy production.

    • Solar Shingle & Integrated Roof Installation
      Install low-profile solar shingles or tiles for a seamless, aesthetic look that protects your home like a new roof while simultaneously generating clean power.

    • Solar Array Expansion & Upgrades
      Add new panels to your existing solar system to increase its capacity, accommodating new energy needs like an EV charger or a heat pump.

  • This category focuses on storing your generated power for backup, load shifting, and energy independence.

    • Whole-Home Battery Storage (e.g., Powerwall, LFP)
      Install an advanced battery system to store your solar energy for use at night, provide seamless backup power during outages, and save money by avoiding peak utility rates.

    • Critical Load Backup Panel
      A cost-effective solution to pair with a battery, this subpanel ensures that only your essential circuits (like the refrigerator, Wi-Fi, and well pump) are powered during an outage.

    • Smart Electrical Panel Installation
      Replace your traditional breaker panel with an intelligent panel that gives you circuit-level energy monitoring, "virtual" load management, and seamless control of your solar, battery, and EV charging.

    • Bidirectional (V2H/V2G) Charger Installation
      Install a cutting-edge EV charger that allows your car's battery to power your entire home during an outage (Vehicle-to-Home) or even send power back to the grid.

  • These services involve installing the dedicated wiring for modern, high-efficiency appliances that replace fossil-fuel-burning equipment.

    • Level 2 EV Charger (EVSE) Installation
      Get fast, safe, and convenient charging for your electric vehicle at home with a dedicated 240V circuit and a professionally installed Level 2 charger.

    • Heat Pump & HVAC Electrification Wiring
      Install the dedicated circuits and complex control wiring for high-efficiency air source or geothermal heat pumps, allowing you to heat and cool your home with clean electricity.

    • Heat Pump Water Heater Circuit Installation
      Install the electrical circuit for an ultra-efficient heat pump water heater, which can use up to 70% less energy than a standard electric resistance tank.

  • This group includes the "brains" of your green home, allowing you to monitor, control, and optimize your energy usage.

    • Home Energy Management System (HEMS) Installation
      Install an intelligent system (like Sense or Emporia) that monitors your home's power consumption and solar production in real-time, helping you identify waste and optimize usage.

    • Smart Thermostat & Zone Control Wiring
      Install and wire smart thermostats (like Nest or Ecobee) and multi-zone systems that learn your habits and integrate with your HVAC system to reduce heating/cooling waste.

    • Solar-Integrated Load Control
      Program your smart panel or HEMS to automatically run high-draw appliances (like a water heater or EV charger) only when you have excess solar production, maximizing your self-consumption.

    • Smart Lighting & Automation
      Install smart switches, dimmers, and motorized blinds that can be programmed to save energy, improve security, and respond to your home's automation system.

  • This category covers troubleshooting, repair, and optimization to keep your green energy investments running at peak performance.

    • Solar & Battery System Troubleshooting
      Expertly diagnose and repair issues with your renewable systems, including inverter faults, battery communication errors, or unexpected drops in solar production.

    • Solar Panel Cleaning & Performance Check
      Professionally clean your solar array to remove dirt and debris that block sunlight, and perform a full system checkup to ensure maximum energy production.

    • Thermal Imaging (Infrared) Inspection
      Use an infrared camera to find hidden "hot spots" in your inverters, combiner boxes, and battery connections that indicate a potential fault or fire risk before they fail.

    • Fossil Fuel System Decommissioning
      Safely disconnect, make safe, and remove the electrical components of old gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters after you have upgraded to new electric alternatives.
