Many homeowners have installed generator systems in the event of power loss during a storm or hurricane. Solar installations are currently built and installed to withstand 150mph winds. Most of the time there is plenty of sunshine after the storm. If you are considering installing Solar as a backup, in the event of power loss, you should do further research regarding battery backup with Solar. If you are currently hooked up for net metering you should consider battery backup for loss of grid power. Information regarding the many benefits of Solar must become known to you, and everyone you know. In Phaze has made Solar and its benefits one of our primary goals. This subject is discussed with every customer we come in contact with. We have provided many links to articles, publications and required forms below, in addition to a link to the Sunpower products we provide and install. Please take the time to look around, we guarantee you will be surprised. Also, please feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions you might have.

Florida has been dubbed by some as the lightning capitol of the world. It is by far the lightning capitol of America. So ask yourself, "when was the last time I noticed a home with lightning protection?" In the past, lightning rods/protection were far more used mostly to protect barns where people kept their prized possessions, their horses and livestock. You will still likely find lightning protection on most horse barns across America, especially horses of higher value. But whatever happened to protecting your home? Consider the deductible on your homeowners insurance. Now consider the cost and hassle of losing all, or most of your electronic equipment in your home due to 1 direct lightning strike. Here is a list of some items that could be destroyed: computers, televisions, phones, electronic appliances such as ovens, stoves, microwaves, dryers and washers. The destruction to a home after a lightning strike can be devastating. It may not happen to you, but if it does, it is one experience where we truly sympathize with the customer.
Grounding is the most essential part of any electrical system. What goes in must come out. It is vital to ensure that every home is properly grounded. If you have any further questions please feel free to call or e-mail.
Exterior lighting serves many unique purposes. It adds attitude! It shows how proud you are of your home. Exterior and landscape lighting does much more than these pictures can show.
Exterior lighting can provide more than just adding beauty to your home, it can also provide security for you and your family. Regardless of where you live, or the value of your home, security lighting is a must have. The installation of motion sensor lighting is relatively inexpensive. We typically install dual lamp motion sensor lighting on various corners of the home. This allows all sides of the house to be lit if the motion device is set off. The typical cost of installing 1 motion sensor light is between $200.00 and $300.00. Please remember that we give free estimates. Just give us a call.
In Phaze Electric takes a tremendous amount of pride in the troubleshooting expertise we offer. As mentioned before, when you call you speak directly to the owner. The reason for this is to ensure that you are speaking directly to an electrician, a Master Electrician. The owner of In Phaze has extensive knowledge with regards to any form of troubleshooting whether commercial or residential. Many times your problem can be solved or worked out right over the phone. 90% of the time we can troubleshoot your problem, have it fixed and out the door in less than 1 hour. We are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
There are no words to describe a quality sound system. In Phaze Electric offers installation of full home sound systems. These systems can be interfaced to an intercom system as well. We provide single room theatre systems, full home systems with or without remote control, as well as intercom systems designed to meet your needs. If you have never heard a good quality sound system you really don't know what you are missing.
In Phaze Electric provides installation of home communications such as phone and coaxial cable and receptacles. In addition, we install security camera systems that can be wired directly into your home theatre or simply the television of your choice. Feel free to give us a call for a free estimate.
If your home's electrical service panel looks like this, you are in desperate need of an upgrade.
Or, if your service cable looks like this, it might soon start a fire.
The electrical service in your home is the heart of your home. There are many benefits to having your electrical service upgraded. Upgrading your service will lower your electric bill, ensure longevity of the equipment, increase the value of your home, and will also, in some cases, lower your insurance premium. In the recent years of increased property sales we have been called to many pre-sale inspections done by the buyer. In most cases these inspectors continuously made note of outdated electrical service equipment. We have seen cases where the selling price of the home was negotiated down $10K. The average cost for a service upgrade ranges from $750.00 up to $1500.00 depending on the size of service and the conditions of installation. A home may have both an interior and/or exterior panel which can cause the price to fluctuate. Some have a meter and main disconnect on the outside and what is called an interior sub-panel on the inside. In Phaze Electric only installs 200 amp equipment. There is a minimal cost difference between 150 amp and 200 amp equipment and it is best to allow for future additions on the property or the home. It is recommended to replace all of the equipment, wire, and all breakers. During the installation of the upgrade it is also recommended to have your overhead service drop installed underground. There is no cost from the power company. They will take down the existing overhead line and install the new one underground at no cost to you. We also recommend that you contract the dig or dig the ditch yourself to save money. We would not suggest paying In Phaze or any other electrical company's hourly rate to dig a ditch. We have various companies that we can recommend. Upgrading the electrical service of your home not only offers the previously mentioned benefits, it also adds neatness to the home.
Lastly, please feel free to give us a call for a free estimate.
Pictures such as the one on the right are also a good way to start a fire. In Phaze can run an independent circuit to anywhere in your home and provide a sufficient means to plug in a 20 amp extension strip cord. You can find strip extension cords that are rated for 20 amps at most home improvement stores.
Installing new switches and receptacles not only prevents a potential fire it also adds a sense of cleanliness and neatness to the interior of your home. In most homes 1500 to 2500 square foot, switches and plugs can be completely replaced for around $1000.00 and under. In Phaze Electric does not suggest attempting to do any electrical work yourself. However if you do desire to attempt to do the work yourself here are some helpful links to assist you.
We truly hope that you have found this information to be informative and we hope to have given you some clarity before making any decisions. In Phaze Electric offers all of these services and a few others not mentioned. In Phaze recommends and offers package deals that will save you money. For instance: The most requested and preferred; a service upgrade along with replacing your switches and plugs. The average cost for a 2000 square foot home can range from $2000.00 up to 4000.00. You might also want to add some sort of lighting or fans or an additional circuit. Either way, having all of your work done at one time is easier on you, and your money. We recommend that you make a list of all of your electrical needs prior to contacting In Phaze or any electrical contractor. And lastly, please remember that we provide free estimates and our normal operating hours are from 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday. Our normal hourly rate is $65.00/hour and emergency after hour rates are $107.00/hour.
Thank you for considering In Phaze Electric "Your Electrician"

We
provide free estimates to anyone that asks for an estimate. In Phaze
Electric actually pays companies such as Service Magic, Electricians
Networx and a few others to make things a little easier to find us.
These companies are a great asset to us.
We spare no expense in cost when it comes to acquiring you as our
customer. When you request an estimate you will usually have the
opportunity to meet directly with the owner.
In
Phaze prides itself on the quality we provide when it comes to home
wiring. There are no clear standards in the National Electrical Code
with regards to the aesthetics of wiring installation.
Builders, inspectors and owners alike understand the difference when it
comes to good craftsmanship. There are very neat ways to wire a home
and there are also very undesirable ways to wire a home. In Phaze
Electric wires a home unlike most others. We go the extra mile so
that everyone knows "Your Electrician" wired the house. 
Whether
it is a Kitchen or entire home remodel, In Phaze is the company to
call. As mentioned prior, we do provide free estimates regarding
remodels. If you are considering any type of remodeling you should
consult with an electrician prior to the start of the project. We
also recommend that you deal directly with your contractors to save money
and the hassle of miscommunication. We also suggest that electrical
work be done prior to any type of finish work such as drywall, cabinets
and painting. Keep in mind that all work is done to the current
code.
Building
an addition to your home is one of the most important times to call an
electrician. When adding on to your home, calculations are needed to
size the service of your home to the existing and additional square
footage. This is also a time to take great opportunity in
making modifications to your existing electrical system such as replacing
lighting fixtures, switches and receptacles. You might also want to
add fans or outlets when adding on a screened enclosure.
As
of 2008, Federal, State and local government agencies in addition to
Utility Companies, have made many
significant changes regarding alternative energy solutions. For
instance, a 30% property tax rebate with no cap. Previously under
law, homeowners were only allowed up to $2000.00. That is no longer
the case. In addition, Solar power efficiency has doubled since the
90's. Friends, we live in Florida where sunshine is plenty. You can now install solar
and save
30% on the installation. You will also cut your light bill by 2/3, if not
completely, in the first year and you will continue to save every year thereafter.
One other thing to mention, as of last year the State of Florida now has Net
Metering. This means you can sell the electricity back to the power
company at the same cost you pay for it.
A
lightning protection system can avoid this potential disaster. It is like building a lightning shield around your home
protecting you from a lightning strike. If an entire
system is a little over budget there are some low cost adjustments you can
make. The first recommendation is to call us out to measure the
resistance-to-ground of your electrical grounding system. We can
install additional ground rods if needed. Most homes over 5 years
old need some type of service to the grounding system. Grounding
systems are generally connected using lugs and clamps. Over time
these connections become loose and can possibly come apart. The
home is then a sitting duck, not to mention the potential damage to electronics or electrocution.
Another
low cost protection device is provided by our power company, OUC or
Progress Energy. This is a surge arrester that attaches directly to
your meter. In Phaze does sell and install similar devices but we
highly recommend installing the devices provided by the utility
company. On average they cost an additional $5.00 per month and come
with a warranty. We also recommend connecting your highly sensitive
electronic equipment such as TV's, computers, printers, faxes, monitors
and phones to an uninterrupted power system (U.P.S) /surge protection strip
that plugs into your receptacle outlet. These can be bought at most
stores that sell any type of electronics.
There
is one other thing to mention with regards to lightning protection and
your home's grounding system: Most homes electrical grounding
systems installed from the early 1900's up until the early 90's were
connected to the homes plumbing system. Most of these homes had
copper plumbing that were sometimes piped under the slab of the
house. Simply put, the low current, combined with water, copper,
and in Florida, the salt content of the soil, make for a very likely
potential of a leaking pipe under the home. We highly recommend taking the grounding conductor off of the
piping system and tying to a newly installed 10' grounded electrode which is
hammered into the ground within 6 feet of your electrical service
equipment.
A
home is more than just walls and paint. In Phaze can transform your
home into an atmosphere that you could never have imagined. Lighting atmosphere
gives your home its personality. You may want it bright and full of life, or low,
to set a romantic atmosphere. You can have the ability to adjust your lighting by the click of a remote or
manually by dimmers. No matter the price of your home, In Phaze
Electric can transform it into whatever personality you
desire.
Here
in Florida everyone should have a generator. On average every home
in America suffers at least 24 hours of power failure in a year. In
Florida, a power failure can last for days rather than hours. With
Florida being prone to hurricane damaging winds, power failure is to be
expected. In Phaze Electric can install any type of generator for
your home or business. Generator installs can be surprisingly
inexpensive. We can install service to a portable generator for as
little as $500.00 in some cases. You can purchase a portable 12KW
generator from most home improvement stores for around $500.00 and up. For larger systems, 10KW and up,
the cost of course goes up. 
Most
electrical fires are due to faulty switch and receptacle outlets. In
the past 30 years devices have been manufactured with what is called a
quick connect. Quick connect is a means of stabbing the wire into a
hole in the back of the device. Manufacturers still continue
to manufacture these type of devices. There is some mention in the
National Electrical code instructing electricians not to connect devices
in this manner for such places as hospitals and other locations.
Over time, the quick connect loosens inside of the device ultimately
leading to heating of the device and eventually fire or failure. In
Phaze Electric does not terminate devices using quick connect. We
wrap the wire around a screw that over time will not loosen.
