How Tariffs Are Impacting Electrical & Solar Prices (And How to Save Now)

If you’re planning an electrical upgrade or solar install this year, there’s a key change on the horizon worth knowing about: rising material costs driven by new tariffs.

But here’s the good news: At Gubruds, we’ve stocked up early, and we’re giving customers a window to take advantage of current pricing before the shift happens.

Why Prices Are Increasing Across the Industry

New tariffs on imported goods like copper wiring, circuit breakers, solar panels, and steel are increasing the cost of both raw materials and finished components. Since many vendors source parts from overseas, these changes are already starting to ripple through the supply chain.

This can lead to:

• Higher installation quotes across the board
• Slower timelines due to material sourcing challenges
• Fewer affordable options for homeowners and small businesses

For solar, in particular, tariffs on key components like inverters and batteries are contributing to 5–15% cost increases in some project estimates.

What We’re Doing to Help You Stay Ahead

We’re not raising prices on services that use materials from our current stock. In fact, we’re offering 5% off select electrical and solar services for a limited time — giving you a chance to get ahead of upcoming price adjustments.

We believe in transparency and proactive planning. That’s why we’re being upfront about what’s coming and making it easier for customers to move forward now, with clarity and confidence.

Why Now Is a Smart Time to Book

While there’s no pressure to rush into a decision, the reality is that once our current inventory runs out, new material costs will take effect. This offer is designed to give customers who are already planning a project the opportunity to lock in lower pricing while it’s still available.

If you’ve been meaning to tackle an upgrade, this is a good window to do it — with a little added peace of mind.
