Is there such a thing as minimum requirements on Electrical in a Home
Do you every plug in your hairdryer and the power goes out, or turn on the microwave when the coffee pot is turned on, and the power goes out.  I am guilty on both accounts. It is the classic power overload. 

Although you may attempt to conserve energy, in todays world with so many electronic gadgets, tablets, cell phones, computers, gaming consoles, and the list goes on, without knowing, we are drawing an abundance of electricity, putting added strain on power sources in our homes. 

Upgrading your service panel can let your home electrical system use power safely.

A 100 amp panel in todays homes may be running far too close to capacity to be safe.  No electrical circuit should sustain loads of more than 80 percent maximum capacity. You want that extra buffer with the extra amp for safety. 

If you are doing a home renovation, or adding a pool in your back yard or finishing your basement, if your home currently has 100 amp service, upgrading to a 200 amp service panel would be a good decision.  However, 200 amps is the minimum recommended service panel size in a full size modern home, you may actually need more depending on the size of your home. 

Hire licensed electricians to assess your needs and make decisions based on their recommendations.   Safety is paramount.

RENEW YOUR MORTGAGE OR REFINANCE

RENEW YOUR MORTGAGE OR REFINANCE.


Much to consider.  Make informed decisions!


Renewal time may be an opportunity to take advantage of current reduced rates. 
 

At renewal time, take a close look at your current financial situation, and the costs related to some other current debt you may be carrying, such as credit cards.


Do you need to consolidate some existing debts to reduce overall payments,  taking advantage of the current low interest rates. 


Would you like to take some equity out of your home to purchase another property. 


Would you like to renovate.


Do you have added children expenses to cover.


Are you happy to renew your mortgage and continue to pay down your mortgage at the current balance. 


Think about speaking to your existing Lender to see if they are able to offer you a better interest rate than what is currently posted by the banking institution.  Chances are they would like to keep you as a client, and will do their best to give you the best possible rate they have to offer.    This too could potentially save you some added costs. 


Do some reach with other Lenders to see what rates they have to offer.   Have a conversation with a Mortgage Broker, who would have access to more than one lending institution.  


Take the time to investigate and ask questions, the extra effort may potentially save you money.
