  • Smart Bulbs: A Bright Idea for Energy Efficiency and Home Value
    Brandon highlights that smart bulbs offer energy efficiency, flexibility, and convenience, drawing up to 80% less power. They enhance home safety and appeal to buyers seeking smart features. However, they require good internet and user adaptation. While not boosting resale value alone, they contribute to a smart home image.
  • Why Your A/C Isn't Cooling: Expert Tips from Payless Power
    Brandon identifies clogged filters, low refrigerant, and thermostat issues as common A/C problems. He advises, "Check the air filter and thermostat settings first." Regular maintenance, like changing filters, ensures efficiency. For immediate relief, consider window units or fans. For long-term solutions, explore smart thermostats and zoned systems.

  • Solar Power with Battery: Reliable in Storms
    Brandon notes that "traditional grid power shows can be vulnerable" during storms, while solar with battery storage offers reliability. Solar panels paired with batteries like Enphase provide energy security by storing power for outages. In snowy areas, panels resume efficiency once cleared. Homeowners should consider backup systems for peace of mind amid increasing storm intensity.
