Tri-Point Electric

'Tis the season ... for house fires! Unfortunately, more fires in homes occur during this time of year than any other. Here are some safety tips to keep your home and family safe.

If your outlets are making snapping, cracking or buzzing noises - or worse - are sparking or showing signs of burning, call Tri-Point Electric at 215.817.5030 right away. It's a very unsafe condition that might cause an electrical fire!

Here comes winter! We are under a "winter storm watch" for later this week, and although the severity is just a guess at this point, it's best to plan for the worst. Yes, you should have had us install a generator before now, but there are more things you can do to prepare for a potential power outage. https://thealpinesun.com/dont-miss-a-beat-during-a-power-o/

This is the aftermath of an aluminum to copper wire junction, WIRE-NUTTED together on a 240volt oven circuit. The bold text is emphasizing the dangerous act of using a wire nut to bring these conductors together. The proper measure is to use split bolt connectors that are rated for this use only. This job came from a homeowner owner in Newtown Square that had the appliance people troubleshoot this to no avail. We ran a whole new line, junction box and tested the system. #TP...E #TriPointElectric #Electric #NewtownSquare #Delco #TheMainLine #RealEstate #Contractor #contractorsofinsta #TCF #thecontractorfight #EOA #Pedro 215-817-5030 www.TriPointElectric.com See more

Happy first night of Hanukkah!

Cold enough for you? Don't wait until the next big storm when you may lose power! A standby home generator will keep your power on during an outage.

For the ultimate in peace of mind, call Tri-Point Electric at 215.817.5030 today. We are a certified dealer and installer of Generac Power Systems Inc. generators.

Have you set up your outside holiday decorations? Here are some ideas to save on your electric bill while still making merry and bright!

Have a great weekend!

We've all been spending A LOT of time staying at home these past few months, between working, learning and entertaining ourselves. Have you discovered that your current electric capacity isn't up to the job? Whether you need an entire panel upgrade or more circuit breakers to compensate for the increased needs of your family, Tri-Point Electric can help! Call us at 215.817.5030 today for a free estimate.

Some of your appliances use energy - even when they're turned off! So if and when you can, unplug your desktop and laptop computers, TVs, DVD players and VCRs, modems, cable boxes, cordless phones, stereos and radios, coffeemakers, toasters and microwaves. You could save up to $100 - or more - on your electric bills!

If you own a home, or are purchasing one, and there is LIVE knob and tube, you want to get an electrician to take it out and replace it right away. Knob and tube is no longer the electrical standard and poses a fire risk, especially these days when your family is home and using additional appliances and devices. Call Tri-Point Electric at 215.817.5030 today for a free consultation.

Since we are still (or again) limited by where we can go for fun and entertainment, it makes sense to invest in your outdoor living spaces - even for use in colder weather. Tri-Point Electric can help! We can design and install landscape lighting for the front of your house, as well as patio and deck lighting for the rear. Give us a call today at 215.817.5030 for a free consultation!

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you're cooking for a crowd this holiday season, your appliances - especially the oven - are likely to be on for hours at a time. There's a few things you can do to stop that electric meter from furiously whirling. Use your microwave to steam veggies instead of cooking them in the oven or on the stove. You can also cook your potatoes in the microwave. It's faster and saves energy. And when the meal is done, use your dishwasher to clean up. Believe it or not, it's more energy efficient than washing dishes by hand.

Even if you're not entertaining this year, who wants to live in the dark? A new overhead fixture can go a long way to transforming your space! Whether you purchase a chandelier on your own, or your decorator specifies it, Tri-Point Electric will be there to expertly install it for you! Call us today at 215.817.5030 to learn more.

Have you started your holiday decorating yet? You need to be extra careful, especially this time of year. The National Fire Protection Association, or NFPA, reports that 30% of all home fires and 38% of home fire deaths happen from December through February. Here's a good checklist of tips to help you stay safe.
