Cleaning the house may not be your idea of a fun activity. But while vacuuming may never be fun, there is a way to make the job a little easier.

Most of us vacuum with the standard movable unit but have you ever thought of installing a central vacuum system in your home? Central vacuum systems are becoming more common, can cost less than a high-end movable vacuum and can add to your home’s resale value.  They can be installed in new construction homes and most existing homes.

Central vacuum systems are designed to remove dirt and debris from homes and buildings, sending dirt particles through tubing installed inside the walls to a collection container in a remote utility space. The power unit is a permanent fixture, typically installed in a basement, garage, or storage room, along with the collection container. Inlets are installed in walls throughout the building that attach to power hoses and other central vacuum accessories to remove dust, particles, and small debris from interior rooms. Most power hoses typically have a power switch located on the handle.  The motors in these units allow much more suction power than standard movable units.

Outdoor lighting increases the value and resale of your home and compliments your landscaping design and investment. Low voltage (12-volt) lighting systems are less expensive to install and maintain, and burn a fraction of the energy required by high voltage (120 volts) lighting systems. They allow you to spend more time enjoying your outdoor living space and entertaining in style. Landscape lighting systems are designed to expand for future lighting needs. Outdoor lighting also increases the safety for your family and friends by deterring intruders. Outdoor lighting can be both functional and aesthetic; we have years of experience to understand how much light to place on your home and where the best focal points are and work closely with you the homeowner. We offer ongoing support after the installation and we will answer any of your lighting questions or challenges you may have.

A standby home generator keeps your power on during an outage. It’s installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically — whether you’re home or away…all within seconds of a power outage!

• Ideal for backing up your home

• Automatically starts and restores power in seconds — whether you’re home or away

• Powers your home, including critical hard-wired systems like AC, heat, sump pumps, well pumps, security systems and large appliances like refrigerators and freezers.

• Delivers high-quality power — won’t harm your electronics

We will help you choose the perfect size generator, the right fuel source and the best installation location for your generator and transfer switch.

We will first install your transfer switch, and then move your generator in place.  Electric lines will then be connected from your transfer switch to your generator.
Once electric is hooked up, we will make the proper connections from your fuel source to the generator.
After electric and fuel is hooked up, your generator is ready to start and protect your home or business.
