Electrical
Skilled, professional electricians from Starling Plumbing & Electric can provide equipment and services to help you protect the entire electrical system in your home.
Surge Protectors
Your computer, television and other important electronics are probably plugged into a point-of-use surge protector, but what about your larger, more expensive components like your refrigerator, air conditioner and heater? Almost every electronic device in your home has a microprocessor, from your microwave and television all the way up to your air conditioner. Without adequate protection, power surges can destroy these microprocessors and render your electronics useless. The cost to replace each of these microprocessors is much more expensive than prevention with a simple, whole-home surge protector.
Investing in a whole-home surge protector can definitely save you money if you happen to have a powerful electrical surge hit your home. The next time the power goes out or there is a lightning storm, you can rest easy knowing all your electronic devices are protected.
With a whole-home surge protector, all your outlets will be protected from external power surges. This includes:
- Televisions
- Computers
- Air Conditioners
- Furnaces
- Microwaves
- Refrigerators
- Stoves/Ovens
- Phones
- And everything else plugged in!
Circuit Breakers
If your circuit breakers are tripping constantly, there is a problem. Circuit breakers can wear down due to age and heat. Bad circuit breakers need to be replaced ASAP because they protect your family from possible electrical fires and power outages caused by short circuits, grounded wires, or electrical overloads. If you do need new circuit breakers, we will ensure you have the right size.
Circuit breaker size is vitally important to keeping you safe because:
- A breaker that’s too small will trip constantly, wearing out sooner as a result.
- A breaker that’s too big will never trip—leaving you vulnerable to electrical fires.

There are several types of water heaters, with the most common being tank type water heaters. Tank type heaters utilize gas or electricity to continually heat the water in the vessel or container, keeping it hot and always ready for use. Household sizes of water heaters vary, but typical tanks are between 40 or 50 gallons. Energy efficient laws now require all tank type water heaters to be 2” to 3” wider and taller, which poses a concern for homeowners that have their water heater in an area with limited space. The new energy laws also put a restriction on the size of tank type heaters, stating that the maximum size allowed is 55 gallons. Above this limit, all heaters must be tankless or hybrid water heaters.
Gaining popularity among homeowners and business owners alike, tankless water heaters provide unbeatable efficiency and save substantial amounts of energy and money over time. States are also incentivizing the purchase of tankless water heaters, because of their energy efficiency, by offering rebates. Only heating water on demand, tankless heaters do not retain water internally. Instead, the water is heated instantly as it flows internally through the heat exchanger coils of the device. Tankless water heaters are largely powered with propane or natural gas, and have the advantage of smaller size as well as indoor or outdoor application.
