What
can I do about my high electrical bills?
Many things can be done by an electrical
contractor to make your system function
in the most efficient manner.
Your
electrical system should be reviewed
with the advent of any higher than
normal bill. This can help
determine if the problem is one of
something malfunctioning or if energy conservation
measures are called
for. Seasonal (Summer) increases are due
more to increased reliance on A/C and
pool pump usage in
this area. Even that can be mitigated.

My power supplier is
PG&E can I see my electrical usage?
If you have a new "Smart" meter you can
start to download and monitor your power
usage. By downloading and charting
your power consumption you'll get some
idea where the power is going. With that
information you can start to modify the
operations of your home or business and
get direct feedback on how much
electricity you're saving.
One good spot to look at is during the
time you're normally asleep. This
is the power that is being consumed
partially by "Vampire" electrical loads. |

I've logged on to PG&E, I see my pool
pump is really costing me money, what
can I do about the cost of operating my
pool pump? You're
in luck, with the new variable frequency
drive pump motors, I can show you how to
reduce that pool pump load by up to 90%
depending on the age and condition of
your present pool pump. I can come
out and measure the power (wattage) that
your present pump is using and show you
how, by changing to a more efficient
pump save a lot of money. |

I don't know what
it's costing me, but can motion sensors
save money on lights that burn without
anyone in the room. I've used them
at work, but haven't any at home?
Business owners have
been reducing the cost of operation for
years. Residential customers
haven't got very motivated about their
electrical bills. Now with the
present situation everyone is trying to
save money. Motion or occupancy
sensors are a great way to save on
lighting costs, you'll be able to save
electricity and won't have to
scold your children or employee's to turn off the
lights. |
