From smart refrigerators and induction cooktops to electric water heaters and HVAC systems, today’s homes are more electrified than ever. As appliances and heating systems increasingly rely on electricity, your home’s electrical service may be struggling to keep up.
At Petra General Services, we’re seeing a surge in demand for electrical upgrades—and for good reason. Here’s why upgrading your electrical service is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
- The Rise of All-Electric Living
- Modern homes feature high-powered appliances, electric vehicle chargers, and energy-hungry HVAC systems.
