Is Your Electrical System Ready for Hurricane Season?
By Mark Asselin, President, Performance Electrical Contracting When hurricane season hits Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, having a reliable electrical system isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. High winds, heavy rain, and unpredictable power outages can leave homes and businesses vulnerable to extended downtime, safety hazards, and costly repairs. That’s why now is the time to assess your electrical system and ensure it’s ready to weather the storm. Here are a few key areas to focus on: Backup Power Solutions A whole-house generator with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) can keep your lights on, your appliances running, and your family or business safe during a power outage. PEC offers flat-rate installation of Generac 22kW generators with ATS — a powerful solution that activates automatically when the grid goes down. Surge Protection Storms and lightning strikes often cause sudden power surges, which can fry sensitive electronics and appliances. Installing whole-home surge protection helps guard your investments and ensures your system is ready to absorb the hit. Electrical Panel Inspection If your panel is outdated or overloaded, it’s more likely to fail during extreme weather. PEC performs expert panel inspections and upgrades to bring your system up to code and ensure it can handle your electrical load during a storm. Secure Outdoor Wiring and Equipment Loose wiring, exposed outlets, and unprotected equipment can pose major risks during a hurricane. We recommend having a licensed electrician inspect your exterior systems and secure or relocate anything vulnerable. Preventative Maintenance Routine maintenance before the storm season ensures your system is functioning safely and efficiently. PEC offers comprehensive service plans for both residential and commercial properties that include inspections, testing, and priority repair services. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late. At PEC, we believe in performance when you need it. Our licensed electricians are here to help homeowners and business owners prepare for hurricane season with reliable service, expert installation, and peace of mind.

How Electrical Maintenance Can Help Prevent Costly Downtime
By Mark Asselin, President, Performance Electrical Contracting Electrical downtime can mean lost productivity, unhappy customers, and costly repairs. Regular electrical maintenance is key to preventing these disruptive outages. Here’s how a proactive maintenance approach helps: Early Identification of Electrical Issues Routine inspections catch issues like worn wires, loose connections, or overloaded circuits before they escalate into major failures that halt your operations. Increased Reliability and Performance Scheduled maintenance ensures your systems perform efficiently, minimizing the risk of sudden outages or performance degradation. Compliance and Safety Regular electrical maintenance ensures your systems remain compliant with National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations. Compliance reduces liability, keeps your employees safe, and avoids fines or penalties. Lower Overall Costs Proactive maintenance helps identify and fix minor issues early, reducing the need for expensive emergency service calls or extensive repairs down the line. Extended Equipment Life Keeping electrical components well-maintained reduces wear and tear, prolonging the life of your system and maximizing your initial investment. PEC’s tailored maintenance programs help keep your property safe, efficient, and fully operational, protecting your investment for the long term.
