Decrease power consumption
Consuming Power is like calories..........the more you consume......the more the
power company charges and as for calories, the more weight you have to deal
with..........The best way to decrease power consumption is to turn electrical
consuming items off. This can be done with motion sensors for lights. Timers for
lights that reset themselves based on sunrise and sunset. There are also some
dimming systems that can decrease the amount of power lights burn. Also, there
are power shades that can be installed with light sensors that open shades for
more light automatically. Programmable thermostats can be used, and even
controlled with Iphones or other mobile phones. Give us a call and we will give
you even more ideals about decreasing your power consumption.

Generators
Why do I need a generator?
You need a generator to restore power to heating and air conditioning,
refrigerators , or even your entire home. If you lose main power from a
lightning storm, ice storm, other natural disasters, down power lines, or other
events that could cause you to lose your power. As these incidents happen to
homes, there is nothing you can do about it. Or is there? Having a generator
installed will provide you with power to run equipment in your house while
others are still in the dark. We will install a Briggs and Strattan Generator
with a General Electric automatic transfer switch. The best generator and
warranty available.
How long could you live without these important items?
- Medical Life Safety Devices
- Computer
- Internet
- Appliances
- Air Conditioning / Heat
- Security Systems
- Television
- Radio
- Fridge/Freezer
By installing a generator, these items can still be used while power is out. A
generator can keep power going to the refrigerator or freezer keeping the items
cold so they do not go to waste. On the average, you could lose up to $500 in
perishables per occurrence!

Surge Protection/Lighting Protection
This is a device that is hooked up to your panel that will protect all of your
vital electronic devices in your home from sudden surges and spikes in your
electrical lines. It is similar to the device that you can plug into your outlet
for your computer or other electronics only this one will take care of your
entire home. For information on the cost of surge protection ask your
technician.
What is an example of a surge that causes damage?
Surges can happen during lightning storms. If lighting strikes a power line and
follows into your home with excess voltage, the power will disperse to anything
that is plugged into your outlets and potentially "damage" these items. Items
like plasma TV's, computers, appliances and other household electronics might be
lost when this happens. These are enough reasons to have surge protection in
your home so that your expensive electronics are safe.
If you are interested in protecting your vital electronic equipment, make sure
to let your technician know that you are interested in Surge Protection.
