Energy Saving Ideas

  • Efficient Lamps and Ballasts
  • Light Fixture Retrofits
  • Daylight Harvesting
  • Solar (PV) generation
  • Infrared Testing (failure prediction)
  • Best Practices Electrical Installation

There are numerous approaches to saving electricity. Better windows, better insulation, turn off unused lights and equipment. Today we have even more tools to save energy and still allow us to perform our work. Every time a light fixture is re-lamped or repaired, use the most energy efficient lamps. When you walk out of a room, turn off the lights. For larger office areas, daylight harvesting and motion sensing switches are very cost effective. Dept of Energy studies have proven that all of the above are required to reduce our energy usage.

On a larger scale, your overall strategy may include Solar Power along with Energy Conservation. If you don't have a plan, let us help you develop a plan to lower your energy usage.

The small things add up. We have seen time and time again as we relamp an office or repair a wire that has overheated, the amount of energy saved by common sense and new technology. We can advise you and help you plan your strategy to permanently reduce your energy costs.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Our federal fleets will most likely be the 1st to utilize electric vehicles. As we speak, the Nat Electrical Mfg Association (NEMA) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) are working out the final details of a universal connector to charge an electric car. One connector that could be used at home or at the office or a "filling station". We have been involved with retrofitting electrical circuits for over 2 decades, and this new technology will demand the installation of thousands of outdoor outlets to keep your fleet running. Many homes will need this new power outlet in the garage. We are looking ahead today to keep you in line with evolving technology.
