Berkeley Electric and Air Concept Solutions Team Up to Help a Homeowner

Berkeley Electric and Air Concept Solutions Team UpWhile performing a routine energy audit, we head off a potentially dangerous issue. We joined Energy Specialist Josh Laughter with Berkeley Electric to investigate a high electric bill.   The owner of the home was paying around $500 a month during the cold season and Josh deduced there was a possible problem with their HVAC system. We visited the member’s home together to take a closer look and found that the thermostat had been wired incorrectly.

We found melted wires in the air handler and when the HVAC unit was cut on a small fire occurred. Thankfully, we were on-site to see the fire and were able  to extinguish it quickly.  We disconnected the heat strips to prevent further problems. Not only did we fix the thermostat and heat strips but now the member’s bill has dropped from $500 a month to around $100-$150.

 

 

Charleston Community Support

Supporting the Charleston – Summerville Community

Being a local business, we are very involved with our community and love to see our friends in the area do well.  We are dedicated to helping make this community a wonderful place for families and businesses.  One of the charities we support is “Courageous Kidz”.  Debby and her staff do amazing work, providing support to kids with cancer and their families.  They help families dealing with cancer to laugh again and help support all members of the families in so many ways from fun events for kids to giving moms a much needed break.

Recently they were chosen as a top 5 finalist for Non-Profit of the year.  We wanted to say ‘congrats’ and also encourage friends and families in Charleston to support this wonderful group at the finals in November.  The winner will be chosen via a live text vote that you can participate in (see http://charlestonmag.com/givingback/votenow).  To learn more about Debby and her staff and their amazing work visit: www.courageouskidz.org and if you are able, participate in the live text vote in November.
