Winter Solar Tip

Winter solar production is naturally much lower, so your batteries may not fill up the way they do in summer. If you want to keep your home backed up or maintain a higher battery level, you can ask Tesla or Enphase to turn on “Charge From Grid” for you — this is a setting that neither we nor customers can change ourselves, so you’ll need to call their support teams directly.

Tesla Support: 877-961-7652

Enphase Support: 877-797-4743

Many homeowners choose this option during storms, planned outages, or high-usage days. Just note that charging from the grid can increase your bill, and it’s important to make sure your utility rate plan is set correctly in the app so charging happens at the smartest times.

If you need help verifying your rate plan, we’re happy to assist!

**Smart Heat Pumps**

Comfort and Diagnostics

Working Together

Modern heat pumps are smarter than ever — and that’s good news for both comfort and reliability.

New systems use built-in sensors and smart controls to monitor performance in real time, often identifying issues long before you notice a change in comfort. These preventative diagnostics can alert you (and your technician) to things like reduced airflow, refrigerant imbalance, or sensor faults — helping prevent costly breakdowns and keeping efficiency high year-round.

Smart heat pumps also learn your habits and adapt automatically for the perfect balance between comfort and energy savings.

Pro tip: Ask about models that allow remote monitoring — so your technician can see how your system is performing before arriving on site.

If your system is older or showing signs of wear, now’s the perfect time to explore an upgrade that keeps your home comfortable and self-aware.

We are happy to announce that we’re partnering with several trusted local home-service companies to bring exclusive CAT Plan member discounts in the near future. These new benefits will extend your savings beyond just electrical work and give you access to special offers from reliable professionals in our community. We’re finalizing the details now and will share the full list of partners and perks soon — stay tuned!

Battery Systems Still Make Sense**

Why Whole-Home Batteries Matter in California

Many of us in the foothills still remember the massive snowstorm of late 2021, when heavy snow brought down trees and power lines and left tens of thousands without electricity for days — and in some areas, even weeks. Events like that remind us how quickly the grid can fail and how long it can take to restore power in rural, heavily wooded communities. Whole-home batteries provide quiet, automatic backup power that keeps your heat, lights, refrigerators, and essential appliances running during outages. They offer dependable protection against winter storms, wildfire-related shutoffs, and everyday grid failures — all without the noise, fuel, or maintenance of a generator. For many households, SGIP rebates can significantly offset the installation cost if they qualify. If you’d like to explore your options or see what a battery system would look like for your home, reach out for a free estimate or consultation so we can help you get prepared before the next big storm.

**SMUD rebates continue through 2026.

We like to hear from Happy Customers!

Connected Technology is a topnotch organization. I had interviewed 4 companies for the solar panel/battery system for my home. Connected Technology provided the most thorough & professional presentation and follow up. They had an initial engineering glitch with my roof, which they corrected before installing the panels. The job was restarted and went off without any further problems. Their technicians are professional, efficient and courteous. Their communications kept me up to date on the process. BTW: Connected Technology came highly recommended by colleagues of mine who have done business with them. I am very happy with the outcome.

Hi, I'm Junior!

My siblings and I were brought to FieldHaven after our elderly mother passed away. She loved us so very much and gave us to her children after she was gone for us to live out the rest of our lives. However, they couldn't care for us and sent us away instead. We were in luck when a kind member of FieldHaven's team heard our story and took us to the shelter.

I love people. While I'm not the biggest fan of being held, like my brother Bubba is, I am a lap cat! Especially if you like to sit on the floor, because I will curl up in your lap and snooze the day away. I cannot hear very well, and am completely blind, so I would like my brother Bubba to come with me wherever I go so he can teach me how to get around my new surroundings. I recognize people by their smell instead, and will flop at your feet when I get to know your scent!

One thing you should know about me is I was diagnosed with FeLV, or Feline Leukemia. What this means is that I have a weakened immune system and am more likely to get sick. I would have to live with other FeLV cats as it can be spread by sharing bowls or communal grooming. It can be managed with proper diet and low-stress housing! I am doing very well currently!

I would love to go home with my brother, Bubba. We have been together for most of our lives and he helps me a lot. I would also be okay going home with one of my other siblings Scooter or Snowy, but Bubba is my best friend.

Won't you give me and my family a soft place to retire? Please stop by the FieldHaven shelter or fill out an application to meet us today!



Please contact FieldHaven Feline Center to learn how to adopt these adorable felines.

Is Your Electric

Vehicle Charged?

Start each day with a full charge. Investing in an EV charger will save you time and give you a tax credit this year! Thinking of adding a second EV to your home? Let's talk about electric load and needing a second charger.

Main Electrical Panel

If tripping breakers are a common occurrence, your electrical panel could be damaged. Outdated or overwhelmed electrical panels are the main cause of electrical fires. Your panel may also need to be upgraded to install an EV charger. But no worries, we can help.
