Frequently asked questions
Do I need surge protection in Santa Teresa?
We recommend it for every A/C unit, the water pump and your router. Outages and the surge when power returns are the most common reason inverter A/C boards fail here. Installing protection takes 1–3 hours.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Common causes are a failing appliance, humidity in an outdoor outlet, or too many loads on one circuit. Diagnosis usually takes 1–3 hours and we'll tell you the fix and price before doing it.
