As we ring in the new year it may be time to look back and make sure your properties are up-to-date and up-to-code with some recent changes in electrical laws and technology which evolved in 2018.
Top 5 Electrical Enhancements for Maryland Properties in 2019
- Smoke and CO2 Detectors: If you have not upgraded by now, you are not up to code. All MD properties need to have a Carbon Monoxide Detector with a 10 year lithium battery in each dwelling unit. Passed for 2018, it is necessary to update now.
- EV Charging Stations: With rebates provided by the State of Maryland, installation has never been easier, or more affordable. Consider installation of an EV Charging Station, or adding more to your property for maximum convenience to you tenants.
- LED Technology and Retrofit Rebates: Currently BGE Smart Energy Savers and the State of Maryland are offering several incentives for retrofitting to LED. Right now, for instance, they are offering $15 off LED recessed lighting trim kits. Let Walter Electric navigate these rebates and incentives through our suppliers, who are BGE Smart Energy Savers preferred distributors.
- Smart Technology: From security cameras, to lighting, to doorbells, and more, realize that smart technology, and smart automation, makes regulating your facility easier and more secure. If you want a plan for updating your property, just call Walter Electric.
- Preventative Maintenance: did you know preventative maintenance can lower your facility’s insurance premiums? Due to keeping your property safer and avoiding fewer emergencies, many insurance companies will offer you a discounted rate if you regularly perform preventative maintenance or infrared testing.
