Here to help with your solar and energy storage solutions. Locally operated in East Peoria, IL with over 40 local representatives. For over 15 years we have been the biggest and the best. That’s why we are partnered with Costco, Home Depot, Nike, Ford, Tesla, solar recycle, and more. These companies lawyers did the research first so you don’t have to.

"Had solar installation on my home in Bloomington Normal. The installation crew was very professional and knowledgeable and efficient. My installation took around a day and a half. The roof panels look much nicer than i had anticipated. The Tesla panels on the side of the house look very nice. My sales rep / energy consultant (Rock Wiley) I cant say enough about. Extremely knowledgeable & professional kept me informed throughout the entire process. Was always available to answer questions & was on site periodically the day of installation. Walked me through setting up & understanding the apps. I had looked at solar energy companies for a couple years but wanted a local company as i do with all home projects & am glad I waited. My wife & I are super pleased with the entire experience & have several friends & family member getting an install. . Attached is a pic of my last year of Ameren bills. The last 2 are with SUNRUN .The $20 was my first full month. "

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To prevent a plug from overheating, always ensure that the electrical load connected to the plug does not exceed the plug's capacity. If the plug feels hot to the touch or emits a burning smell, immediately shut off the circuit breaker and unplug all devices from the hot outlet. Prevent electrical fires by avoiding using extension cords or adapters with the plug, as they can cause it to overheat due to increased resistance. Additionally, ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet and that the outlet is not damaged or loose. 

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.

If you’re interested in exploring other avenues to completely upgrade your electrical panel, it’s also possible to add a sub-panel, which is a smaller panel that connects to what you currently have in place. This way, you can add additional circuits without having to swap out your main panel.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

While some doorbells go silent, others will ring constantly or randomly when they are on the fritz. A doorbell can ring continuously for a few reasons. The button may be stuck in the "on" position, causing the bell to sound repeatedly. Alternatively, one of the wires could have come loose and is touching a metal surface, causing the bell to short circuit and keep making noise.
