At JEEC Electric, we often hear from customers who are tired of resetting their outlets and ask us to just remove the GFCI protection entirely. However, as

Living in Sarasota and Manatee County comes with a lot of perks, white sand beaches, incredible sunsets, and that laid-back Gulf Coast lifestyle we all love. But as any local knows, our tropical paradise has a bit of a temper. Florida isn't just the Sunshine State; it is the undisputed lightning capital of the United States.

High winds, heavy rain, and local flooding frequently lead to power outages that can last from a few hours to several weeks.

At JEEC Electric, we have seen firsthand how easily a backup power plan can fail when it is
