Eau Gallie Electric volunteered their time and resources to support The Children's Hunger Project, a vital initiative fighting childhood hunger and malnutrition in our community.

For some students, lunch on Friday is the last regular meal they will receive until the following Monday. The Children’s Hunger Project, Inc. stepped in to provide weekend meals, ensuring that these children did not go hungry during the school year. Teachers and school administrators, who saw the effects of weekend hunger firsthand, could identify the students who would not receive proper nutrition over the weekend. They knew which students would return to school on Monday morning ill-prepared to learn due to lack of nourishment.

Our team at Eau Gallie Electric was proud to partner with such a dedicated organization. Together, we packed an impressive total of 1,040 food packages with 31 volunteers, amounting to 62 volunteer hours. Watch our video to see how we made a difference in our community and learn more about how you can get involved in this critical mission to end childhood hunger

Is Going Solar a Scam? Debunking the Misconceptions

"Is Going Solar a scam?" This question often arises in discussions about solar installations. Unfortunately, there are some misconceptions surrounding solar energy that contribute to this skepticism. We aim to address these concerns and shed light on the truth behind solar energy.

The Myth of "Free" Solar: One of the most common scams associated with solar energy is the notion of "free" solar. It is important to understand that while solar energy can save you money in the long run, there are upfront costs involved in installing solar panels. Solar installations are an investment, and it's crucial to be aware of the initial expenses.

However, it's equally important to note that the savings in energy bills over time can offset the initial investment, making solar a financially sound decision in the long term. By generating your own clean energy, you can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional power sources and save money on electricity bills.

Energy Bill Reduction, not Elimination: Another misconception is that installing solar panels will instantly eliminate your energy bills. While it's true that solar panels can substantially reduce your energy bills, it's not possible to completely eliminate them. You may still have to pay a small amount for the power you draw from the grid, such as utility connection fees or a minimum fee charged by your electricity provider. It's essential to have realistic expectations when it comes to solar energy. Solar installations offer substantial savings and can greatly reduce your reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity, but they won't eliminate your bills entirely.

The Problem with Pushy Salespeople: Some solar companies employ salespeople who are solely focused on closing sales, often at the expense of providing genuine support and care for customers. These companies may hire third-party installers, leaving customers with little support or accountability after the installation process.

Avoid Falling Victim to Solar Scams: To avoid falling victim to such scams, it's crucial to choose a reputable company that values its customers. Look for a solar provider with a solid reputation, a team of experts, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Reputable companies will ensure that the solar system is a good fit for your needs, provide professional installation, and offer ongoing support.

At Eau Gallie Electric, we uphold our 75-year reputation and feature a team of qualified professionals who adeptly manage every aspect of your solar installation. We prioritize reducing your energy costs and offer comprehensive support throughout the process.

In summary, while there are scams associated with solar energy, it's important to separate fact from fiction. Solar energy empowers you to take control of your own power while making a smart financial decision. By investing in solar, you not only save on energy bills but also become an active contributor to a cleaner environment. By choosing a reputable company like Eau Gallie Electric and understanding the realistic benefits of solar energy, you can make an informed decision and enjoy the long-term advantages of going solar. If you're considering a solar installation, reach out to us for expert guidance and support.

PORTABLE GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS
Before reading these tips, always read the Owner’s Manual and instructions for your generator. Carefully follow all instructions and warnings in order to safely start and operate the generator. Do NOT cut corners when it comes to safety.

These tips are merely supplemental and are not intended to substitute reading of the Owner’s Manual.

Carbon Monoxide and Ventilation

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
NEVER run a generator indoors or in partly enclosed areas such as garages.
ONLY use outdoors and far from windows, doors, vents, crawl spaces and in an area where adequate ventilation is available and will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
Using a fan or opening doors and windows will not provide sufficient ventilation.
It is recommended that you install battery operated Carbon Monoxide alarms/detectors indoors according to manufacturer’s instructions / recommendations.
Gasoline, Fueling and Burn Safety

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
If tank is over-filled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and cause fire or explosion.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion.
Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow generator and engine to cool entirely before adding fuel.
Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark or pilot light.
Do not smoke near fuel or generator.
Many generator parts are hot enough to burn you during operation and while the generator is cooling after turning off. Avoid coming into contact with a hot generator.
Electrocution Hazard and Electrical Shock Hazards

Connecting a portable electric generator directly to your household wiring can be deadly to you and others. A generator that is directly connected to your home's wiring can 'back feed' onto the power lines connected to your home and injure neighbors or utility workers.
Do not connect your generator directly to your home's wiring or into a regular household outlet.
Always start or stop the generator only when no electrical loads are connected.
Overloading your generator can seriously damage your valuable appliances and electronics. Do not overload the generator. Do not operate more appliances and equipment than the output rating of the generator. Prioritize your needs. A portable electric generator should be used only when necessary, and only to power essential equipment.
Use the proper power cords. Plug individual appliances into the generator using heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cords with a wire gauge adequate for the appliance load. Overloaded cords can cause fires or equipment damage. Do not use extension cords with exposed wires or worn shielding.
Do not operate the generator in wet conditions such as rain or snow.
The generator must be properly grounded. If the generator is not grounded, you run the risk of electrocution. We strongly recommend that you check and adhere to all applicable federal, state and local regulations relating to grounding.
Generator Placement and Operation

Keep children away from portable generators at all times.
Allow at least five feet of clearance on all sides of the generator when operating.
Generators can be used during a wide variety of weather temperatures, but should be protected from the elements when not in use to prevent shorting and rusting.
Operate the generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
Inspect the generator regularly and contact the nearest authorized dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the spark plug to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs to the generator.

Installing a backup power supply for your home is a significant step in increasing your security and comfort. In case of a power outage, it allows you to live comfortably without worrying about food spoilage and other problems that might occur when the power goes down.

From hurricanes damaging power lines to a car accident that damages a pole, being without power for 8 hours or longer is a persistent threat.

Since the COVID pandemic, the world has changed, and it now takes more time to obtain products and services. Shortages are becoming more commonplace, so self-sufficiency is a necessity. What will you do when the power goes out? Get a free in-home consultation today! https://eg-electric.com/contact/request-a-quote/

You may follow the instructions located in your WiFi kit packaging, or watch the following step-by-step video.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure you do not discard the white identification tag located on your WiFi module. This will be needed later to add your generator to the Mobile Link app.

Is Going Solar a Scam? Debunking the Misconceptions

"Is Going Solar a scam?" This question often arises in discussions about solar installations. Unfortunately, there are some misconceptions surrounding solar energy that contribute to this skepticism. We aim to address these concerns and shed light on the truth behind solar energy.

The Myth of "Free" Solar: One of the most common scams associated with solar energy is the notion of "free" solar. It is important to understand that while solar energy can save you money in the long run, there are upfront costs involved in installing solar panels. Solar installations are an investment, and it's crucial to be aware of the initial expenses.

However, it's equally important to note that the savings in energy bills over time can offset the initial investment, making solar a financially sound decision in the long term. By generating your own clean energy, you can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional power sources and save money on electricity bills.

Energy Bill Reduction, not Elimination: Another misconception is that installing solar panels will instantly eliminate your energy bills. While it's true that solar panels can substantially reduce your energy bills, it's not possible to completely eliminate them. You may still have to pay a small amount for the power you draw from the grid, such as utility connection fees or a minimum fee charged by your electricity provider. It's essential to have realistic expectations when it comes to solar energy. Solar installations offer substantial savings and can greatly reduce your reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity, but they won't eliminate your bills entirely.

The Problem with Pushy Salespeople: Some solar companies employ salespeople who are solely focused on closing sales, often at the expense of providing genuine support and care for customers. These companies may hire third-party installers, leaving customers with little support or accountability after the installation process.

Avoid Falling Victim to Solar Scams: To avoid falling victim to such scams, it's crucial to choose a reputable company that values its customers. Look for a solar provider with a solid reputation, a team of experts, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Reputable companies will ensure that the solar system is a good fit for your needs, provide professional installation, and offer ongoing support.

At Eau Gallie Electric, we uphold our 75-year reputation and feature a team of qualified professionals who adeptly manage every aspect of your solar installation. We prioritize reducing your energy costs and offer comprehensive support throughout the process.

In summary, while there are scams associated with solar energy, it's important to separate fact from fiction. Solar energy empowers you to take control of your own power while making a smart financial decision. By investing in solar, you not only save on energy bills but also become an active contributor to a cleaner environment. By choosing a reputable company like Eau Gallie Electric and understanding the realistic benefits of solar energy, you can make an informed decision and enjoy the long-term advantages of going solar. If you're considering a solar installation, reach out to us for expert guidance and support.

When it comes to ensuring uninterrupted power supply during outages, the decision between solar batteries and generators can be a challenging one. Factors such as existing solar equipment, cost, energy efficiency, and long-term investment potential all play a crucial role in determining the optimal solution. In this article, we will explore the merits of both solar batteries and generators, with a focus on Generac Home Standby Generators, to help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs.

Solar Batteries: Harnessing the Power of the Sun
Solar batteries have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to store energy generated by solar panels. By converting sunlight into electricity and storing it for later use, solar batteries provide a reliable source of backup power. Here are some key points to consider:
Integration with Existing Solar Power Systems: If you already have solar panels installed, adding a solar battery system can seamlessly integrate with your setup. This combination allows you to utilize the clean energy generated by the sun while having the backup of stored energy during periods of low sunlight or grid outages.

Environmental Friendliness: Solar batteries contribute to reducing carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. They provide a sustainable and eco-friendly solution that aligns with the goal of transitioning towards cleaner energy sources.

Long-Term Investment: Although the initial cost of solar batteries may be higher than that of a generator, they offer long-term benefits. Once installed, solar batteries require minimal maintenance and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional generators.

Generac Home Standby Generators: Reliable Power Backup
Generac Home Standby Generators are known for their reliability and seamless integration with existing power systems. Here's why they are worth considering:

Power Output: Generac generators provide a substantial power output, capable of meeting the energy demands of an entire household. With the ability to support multiple appliances simultaneously, they ensure comfort and convenience during power outages.
Fuel Source: Generators typically run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. While this means an additional cost for fuel, it also guarantees a constant power supply, irrespective of weather conditions or the availability of sunlight.
Quick Response: Standby generators activate automatically within seconds of a power outage, providing immediate power to your home. This ensures uninterrupted operation of critical systems such as refrigeration, heating, and medical equipment.

Choosing the Right Solution
When deciding between solar batteries and generators, it's essential to assess your specific situation and requirements. Factors to consider include:

Existing Solar Equipment: If you already have solar panels installed, integrating a solar battery system might be the most practical and cost-effective option.
Long-Term Investment: Solar batteries offer a growing investment potential as the clean energy industry expands. Generators, on the other hand, provide immediate backup power but may not offer the same long-term benefits.
Property Assessment: Consulting with professionals who can evaluate your property and its energy needs will help determine the best solution for your specific situation.

Ultimately, the choice between solar batteries and generators depends on various factors, including your existing solar equipment, long-term investment goals, and property requirements. Both solar batteries and Generac Home Standby Generators offer reliable backup power solutions, but they cater to different needs and considerations. By thoroughly assessing your situation and seeking expert advice, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your energy needs and sustainability goals.
