Staycations – The New Normal?

2020 has been a year of uncertainty and fear. Under these circumstances, people would normally turn towards vacations as a means of blowing off steam and decompressing from the pressures of everyday life; sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic has made even that a virtual impossibility.

Because of this, more and more people are turning towards the old idea of “staycations” as a way to get away without ever leaving home.

WHAT IS IT?

A staycation means unplugging from the world, closing the door, and shutting out the stress of the outside world as you relax and unwind. Staycations are becoming more and more popular with so many holiday destinations closed, or high risk.

WHAT DOES AN ELECTRICIAN HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

With so much time being spent at home, people are turning their attention to all the little side projects they’d thought about over the years but never actually completed. Increasing comfort, making your home and its facilities more attractive, and improving your home value are all critical components of the staycation plan.

With most of these projects comes a need for electrical work, which should always be completed by a trained, experienced, and licensed electrician. In our region, many home improvement projects require supervision or inspection by a licensed electrician.

IDEAS?

There are so many things you COULD do to make your home more comfortable during your staycation, but some of the most popular that we’ve seen involve decks, patios, porches, and gazebos:

Mike and William did several jobs in a new house purchase including installing can lights, adding new circuits for fridge and oven, and fixing a few issues found during the inspection. The work was excellent and Mike was very helpful and friendly. Thanks!

Kevin Smith

Mike worked all day and well into the darkness of night to upgrade our fountain and landscape lighting (at our home) and the results were well worth the effort! I highly recommend him.
