Thinking about redoing your bathroom? Who needs a tub? In a repeat episode, Kevin explains why tubless master baths with bigger showers seem to be trending. We go from bathrooms to a chipmunk chewing through wires in a PECO box. The result: the homeowner lost about $20,000 worth of appliances and electronics. Actually this, or a catastrophe like it, can happen to any homeowner or residential real estate investor. In our College segment, Ray Erb from Erb Electric conducts a class in whole-house surge protection 101. For about $300, a whole-house surge suppressor can prevent your house from burning down, and protect you from the expense and aggravation of having to replace TVs, computers and your appliances. Don’t let a chipmunk or lightening ruin your day.
