Santa has some extra time this year

Yeah, the economic downturn has impacted Santa too. Although Christmas cheer is up, the quantity of presents is down. So, Santa ended up with a little extra time on his hands. He knows that he needs to generate some cash to cover the hay for the reindeer and heat to keep his elves warm. Solid Ground Electric is helping out and using Santa as a temporary seasonal worker to make their service calls through the first of the year.

Santa is ready to help you update, install, or add most anything electrical for the holidays. Santa can also help keep your family safe during the holidays in some of the following ways:

1. Doing a Y.E.S. Plan inspection: Solid Ground Electric offers membership in a yearly electrical safety plan. Santa can carefully examines 21 points of safety in the home. While he is there he will change out the batteries in hard-wired smoke alarms, check your electrical panel, and tighten your electrical connections in the breaker panel. He will also check accessible GFCI receptacles.

2. Putting in Tamper-Resistant receptacles – National Electrical Code requires that all new installation of power receptacles in homes be tamper-resistant style receptacles. Santa can add these while he is out.

3. Upgrading Electrical Service Panels – If a home is over 30 years old, the electrical service panel should be examined by SGE and possibly be replaced. Over the years excessive loading can deteriorate breakers so that they cannot properly function.

4. Motion Sensor Lighting – Santa can keep Grinch away from your gifts by installing motion sensitive lighting.

Santa and Solid Ground Electric wish you and your family Happy Holidays. If you would like Santa to come and help out, schedule an appointment by calling 541-929-4020 and ask for “Big Kris”.
