All About Electric Vehicle Charging Stations!

Monday, July 25th, 2022

More and more homeowners are electrifying their households these days, but that’s not the only way people are embracing electrical power. Electric vehicles have grown in popularity throughout the country recently, and our area is no different.

Of course, a vital part of owning an electric vehicle is having an easily accessible Electric Vehicle Charging Station also called an EV Charger. Sure, you can get a basic charging package with your vehicle that plugs into a standard wall outlet, but this is a slow and inefficient way to charge your vehicle.

You need only turn to Barron Electrical for a better option–a residential Electric Vehicle Charging Station.

“Do I Need a WholeHome™ Generator?”

Monday, June 13th, 2022

A common question Northwest Washington residents ask themselves is if something like a whole-house generator is necessary for the comfort and safety of their home. The short answer to that question is that if you would like the assurance that your home will continue to have HVAC service, lighting, refrigeration, and even water when the power goes out, then yes, a WholeHome™ generator installation from Barron Electrical is worth your consideration.

Our Generac and Honeywell WholeHome™ generators far surpass what a portable generator can do. While a portable system can handle one or two appliances at a time, a WholeHome™ system will keep your entire household in operation. Additionally, the WholeHome™ option is safer than a portable system that relies on propane or oil to operate.

Ask us too about the Silver Shield Electrical Preferred Membership with Barron. With this membership, you’ll receive a WholeHome™ electrical safety inspection that includes checking on all the electrical components in your home to identify common problems such as degraded wiring, oversized fuses and breakers, and much more–all at a $295 value! This also includes comprehensive performance maintenance–an annual multi-point precision tune-up on your solar power inverter, battery system, or Barron-installed Generac or Honeywell generator!

Read on to learn more about the benefits of a WholeHome™ generator then give us a call when you’re ready to schedule installation.

With more and more homeowners in Bellingham and beyond making the investment, “solar energy” has become quite the buzzword in recent years. There is a good reason for this! Solar panels help homeowners reduce their energy usage as well as costs.

In case you’re wondering if solar is “worth it” for customers who live in the Pacific Northwest–where we don’t get a whole lot of sunny days compared to our neighbors who are further south–the answer is yes, solar energy is actually a great choice.

Part of why this is true is due to the increase in home value that solar installations bring. Read on to learn more!

How You Know Its Time to Call a Plumber

Monday, April 4th, 2022

It can sometimes be difficult to know if your plumbing system is in good shape at any given time. Most people don’t think very much about their plumbing systems after all, as long as the pipes continue to work the way they always have. “Out of sight, out of mind,” right? Unfortunately, this line of thinking can be harmful to your plumbing system!

Fortunately, Barron offers a comprehensive maintenance program that includes a Silver Shield Plumbing Preferred Membership, providing a WholeHome™ Plumbing Inspection, Comprehensive Performance Maintenance, and more. This membership ensures that your plumbing undergoes preventative care so that you run into fewer problems throughout the year.

It’s our hope that you made it through the holiday season without any huge plumbing mishaps. After all, it’s the most popular time of the year to need a plumber, whether it’s for clogged plumbing in the kitchen or in the bathroom of your home.
