Is your home’s electrical system ready for the upcoming summer heat?

When temperatures climb, your home can place additional demands on its electrical system. Air conditioning, fans, pool equipment, outdoor lighting, appliances, and electronics can all contribute to heavier electrical use.

A few things homeowners should pay attention to:

Breakers that trip repeatedly
Outlets or plugs that feel unusually warm
Flickering or dimming lights
Older electrical panels struggling with modern demands
Electronics and appliances without adequate surge protection

Summer storms can also bring power fluctuations and surges, making this a good time to think about how well your home and valuable equipment are protected.

If something doesn’t seem right, having it evaluated by a licensed electrician can help identify potential problems before they become bigger ones.

⚡ Will Your Home Be Ready When the Power Goes Out?

A power outage can be more than an inconvenience. Depending on how long it lasts, you could be left without lighting, refrigeration, heating or cooling, sump pumps, internet, and other important systems around your home.

A professionally installed standby generator can provide automatic backup power when you need it most.

Here are 5 things homeowners should know about standby generators:

⚡ 1. Backup Power Can Be Automatic
A properly configured standby system can detect an outage and provide backup power without requiring you to roll out a portable generator.

🏠 2. You Decide What Needs Power
Depending on the system, a generator can be designed to support selected essential circuits or more of your home's electrical needs.

📏 3. Proper Generator Sizing Matters
Every home's electrical demands are different. The generator and electrical components need to be properly sized for the loads they're expected to handle.

🔧 4. Professional Installation Is Important
Standby generators become part of your home's electrical system, making proper installation and transfer equipment critical for safe, reliable operation.

⛈️ 5. Prepare Before the Outage
The best time to think about backup power isn't when the lights are already out. Planning ahead means your system can be ready when severe weather or an unexpected outage occurs.

Did You Know?
A standby generator system can automatically transfer designated electrical loads to generator power during an outage and return them to utility power when service is restored.

With summer thunderstorms and severe weather still possible across southeastern Pennsylvania, now is a good time to think about how prepared your home is for an extended outage.

Burkert Electrical Services can evaluate your home's electrical needs and help determine the right standby generator solution.

⚡ Could Better Lighting Make Your Home Safer, More Comfortable & More Inviting?

Good lighting does more than brighten a room.

The right indoor and outdoor lighting can improve how your home looks, how you use your space, and even how safely you move around your property after dark.

Here are 5 ways professional lighting upgrades can improve your home:

💡 1. Brighten Everyday Living Spaces
Better kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and living-area lighting can make your home more comfortable and functional.

🏡 2. Improve Curb Appeal
Well-placed exterior and landscape lighting can highlight your home's architecture and create a welcoming appearance after dark.

🔒 3. Increase Safety & Visibility
Properly illuminated walkways, steps, entrances, driveways, and other outdoor areas can make it easier to safely navigate your property at night.

🌳 4. Get More From Your Outdoor Spaces
Patio, deck, and backyard lighting can help you enjoy outdoor living areas well after the sun goes down.

⚡ 5. Upgrade to Modern LED Lighting
LED fixtures can provide excellent illumination while using less energy and lasting longer than many traditional bulbs.

As we head toward the end of summer and the days gradually get shorter, it's a great time to take a look at the areas around your home that could use better lighting.

Burkert Electrical Services can help with professional indoor, outdoor, landscape, security, and LED lighting solutions designed around your home and how you use it.

⚡ Is Your Home Protected From Power Surges?

When most homeowners think about power surges, they think about lightning. But surges can also come from utility disruptions and electrical equipment cycling on and off inside your home.

And with today's homes filled with sensitive electronics, appliances, HVAC equipment, smart-home devices, and charging equipment, there's a lot more to protect.

Here are 5 things to know about whole-home surge protection:

⚡ Surges aren't just caused by lightning — smaller electrical surges can happen more often than you might realize.

🏠 Protection starts at your electrical panel — a whole-home surge protective device helps protect circuits throughout the house.

📺 Today's homes have more sensitive electronics — TVs, computers, appliances, HVAC systems, and other equipment can all be affected by voltage spikes.

🛡️ Power strips aren't the same as whole-home protection — plug-in protection can still have a place, but it doesn't replace protection installed at the electrical service.

🔧 Professional installation matters — the proper surge protection needs to be selected and installed correctly for your home's electrical system.

Whole-home surge protection is a relatively simple electrical upgrade that can add another layer of protection between unexpected power surges and the equipment you depend on every day.

⚡🚗 **Charge at Home. Drive Ready.**

More drivers are making the switch to electric vehicles, but relying on a standard household outlet can mean slow charging and unnecessary frustration.

A professionally installed home EV charger gives you:

✅ Faster, more convenient charging
✅ A full battery when you’re ready to leave
✅ Safe, code-compliant installation
✅ Less dependence on public charging stations
✅ An upgrade that can add convenience and value to your home

Before installation, your electrical system should be evaluated to make sure it can safely handle the additional power demand. Burkert Electrical Services can help determine the right charger, circuit, and installation setup for your home and vehicle.

Whether you already own an EV or are planning to purchase one, we’ll help prepare your home to power what’s next.

⚡ Is Your Electrical Panel Keeping Up With Your Home?

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. While it's easy to forget about what's behind that metal door, an outdated or overloaded panel can affect your home's safety, reliability, and ability to handle today's electrical demands.

You may want to consider a panel upgrade if you notice:

⚡ Breakers that trip frequently
💡 Lights that flicker or dim
🏠 An older fuse box or aging electrical panel
🔌 Plans to install an EV charger, hot tub, or standby generator
🛠️ A home renovation or addition
⚙️ A growing number of appliances and electronics

A modern electrical panel not only improves safety, but also provides the capacity your home needs for today's technology and tomorrow's upgrades.

At Burkert Electrical Services, we provide professional electrical panel upgrades with quality workmanship, honest recommendations, and a commitment to keeping your home powered safely.

If you're unsure whether your electrical panel is ready for today's electrical demands, we're happy to help you evaluate your options.

💦 Is Your Pool Costing More Than It Should?

Summer is in full swing, and for many homeowners that means the pool pump is running several hours every day. If you're still using an older single-speed pool pump, you may be paying much more than necessary on your electric bill.

One of the best upgrades you can make is switching to a Variable Speed Pool Pump.

Unlike older pumps that run at full speed all the time, variable speed pumps adjust to the amount of water that actually needs to be circulated. That means they use significantly less electricity while still keeping your pool clean and healthy.

Some of the benefits include:

💧 Lower monthly electric bills

💧 Quieter operation

💧 Better water circulation and filtration

💧 Longer equipment life due to reduced wear and tear

💧 Custom schedules that run only when needed

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a variable speed pump can save hundreds of dollars each swimming season, depending on how often their pool is used.

If you're thinking about upgrading, it's also important to make sure your electrical system is ready. We can safely install the electrical connections for your new pump, add a dedicated circuit if needed, install a new outlet, and make sure everything meets current electrical codes.

Whether you're replacing an old pump or installing a new pool system, Burkert Electrical Services can help you enjoy a safer, more efficient backyard all summer long.

Have questions about your pool's electrical system or a new variable speed pump? Give us a call. We'd be happy to help.

Stay cool and enjoy the rest of your summer!

🥵 Survived the Heat Wave? Let's Talk About Staying Cool.

After the dangerous heat we've experienced over the past week, we've received quite a few calls and messages asking about portable air conditioners and the best ways to keep homes cool during extreme temperatures.

With summer just getting started, we thought we'd answer some of the most common questions.

There are several great cooling options depending on your home and your needs:

❄️ Mini-Split Systems
Mini-splits are one of the most efficient ways to cool additions, garages, finished basements, sunrooms, or rooms that never seem to stay comfortable. They provide quiet, reliable cooling and are a great long-term solution.

🪟 Window Air Conditioners
Window units are a cost-effective way to cool individual rooms. Still, it's important to make sure they're plugged into a properly rated outlet and not sharing a circuit with other high-demand appliances.

🌬️ Portable Floor Air Conditioners
The portable units with an exhaust hose that vents through a window have become increasingly popular. They're easy to move from room to room and are a great option for temporary cooling, apartments, or homes where window units aren't practical.

No matter which type you choose, remember that all of these units draw a significant amount of electricity. Running multiple air conditioners, fans, and other appliances on the same circuit can overload breakers and cause nuisance trips.

One thing many homeowners don't realize is that these portable air conditioners can also be a great companion to a portable or whole-home generator during a power outage. Instead of trying to cool the entire house, you can keep one room comfortable while your generator powers other essential items, such as your refrigerator, freezer, lights, or sump pump.

If you've noticed breakers tripping, need additional outlets, dedicated circuits, ceiling fans, or you're considering a mini-split installation, we'd be happy to come out, evaluate your current setup, and recommend the best solution for your home.

Stay cool, stay safe, and thank you to everyone who reached out with great questions this past week!

🔥 Dangerous Heat Is Headed Our Way... Is Your Home Ready?

The weather forecast for Southeastern Pennsylvania is calling for dangerous heat over the next several days, with temperatures climbing to 100° or more. When the temperature rises, so does the demand on your home's electrical system.

Air conditioners, window units, ceiling fans, portable fans, refrigerators, and other appliances will all be working overtime to keep your family comfortable.

Now is a great time to make sure your home is ready before the hottest weather arrives.

Here are a few simple things to check:

✅ Have your central AC system serviced and change the air filter if needed.

✅ Clean around your outdoor condenser unit to improve airflow and efficiency.

✅ Make sure window air conditioners are plugged into properly grounded outlets and not overloaded power strips.

✅ Set your ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise to help circulate cool air.

✅ If you're using multiple portable fans or window AC units, be mindful of how much you're plugging into one circuit.

✅ If you've always wished you had another outlet in a room or wanted a ceiling fan installed, this may be the perfect time.

If you're noticing breakers tripping, lights dimming when the AC starts, or your home just isn't keeping up with the increased electrical demand, we'd be happy to help.

We install ceiling fans, add new outlets, provide power for mini-split systems, and perform electrical upgrades to help your home stay safe and comfortable all summer long.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe during the heat wave!
