If you’re not familiar with Angie’s List, they are a members-only, consumer driven reporting & review site for local service companies.  Here are a few things that were recently said about our services:

“my 15 yr ol attic fan died during the summer and if you have one you know how important it is and what it does to cool your home… initially [Bergey's Electric] couldn’t come out [for the installation] til 3 days later, but i asked them if they can sooner since it was during the heat wave… well they dd me a favor and came out the next day…it actually feels cooler upstairs i guess since i got a stronger fan.”  -Dave in Harleysville, PA

“They have been great responders to my issues with appliances. They are always eager to help me fix something under warranty if they can. They always check that out. They are very responsive, very prompt and very polite. It is a family-run business and it has been there for years. They are very good at repairing and they will find a part and they will do anything to fix it if I want to keep a machine…. - Vivian in Telford, PA

Do you like these spring-inspired kitchen cabinets?

If you follow our Facebook page, you may have noticed we have been inspired by the early spring weather to post tips about home renovation projects.

If you have been itching to get your hands a little dirty this spring, start by considering which projects may eventually lead to the greatest return. According to RealtyTimes.com, inexpensive exterior projects can recoup up to 70% of the cost and add to the overall appeal of your home. Other interior remodeling projects, such as kitchen cabinet refacing, can also recoup around 70%.

Once you pick the project, you can start thinking about the color scheme. If you are having trouble finding your color inspiration, look to a favorite picture, vase or pillow.

Stay Organized!

As you get the renovation started, think about the following tips:

• Create a file where you keep pictures of your inspiration, paint chips, measurements and estimates
• Measure and then measure again! Don’t forget to also measure door frames, hallways and create accurate floor plans
• Keep dust pans, brooms and vacuums handy. Dust is inevitable!
• Get more than just a quote from your contractors and decorators. Since this person will be spending a good amount of time in your home, it’s important to conduct thorough interviews. Using us here at Bergey’s Electric? Check out some of the great quotes & testimonials on our website home page from our customers!

1. What was our motivation for installing the panels?
   We were motivated by innovation & saving money on future our utility bills. We wanted to practice what we preach and show our customers that “this stuff works” and we are up to speed with solar technology
2. What was involved in the installation?
   There was a lot of up front paperwork, we trained our staff, researched the best methods, had to get permits & inspections along the way.
3. How do solar panels & the benefits translate for the average home owner?
   Solar Panels are a responsible thing to do. By installing them at your home or business, it shows you are doing what you can to save resources. Ultimately your utility costs will decrease.
4. What should people consider before installing?
   Do you have access to capital to pay for the installation? And do you have the patience to wait for the system to eventually pay off?
5. Are there still tax benefits for installing solar panels?
   There is a 30% Federal Tax credit through 2016!

Here is more information about the tax credit: Solar Energy Systems Federal Tax Credit as well as a great site to check out all the Tax Credits, Rebates & Savings available to you: Energy.gov Tax Credits & Rebates

Why am I sharing this story? Well, I believe this story is simliar to embracing the sun & its solar energy. Who would think that glass solar panels could actually slow your utility company’s electric meter down and run it backwards while you continue to use electricity? You can get to the other side of the river of self-sufficiency using solar energy. It’s not the easiest process. It’s not the most inexpensive process, but the ride IS worth it in the end.

How would you like to embrace the power of the sun?

The lighting trends are picked by YOU! You see things on your favorite TV shows and soon after, the look you love becomes the norm. You can get the hip, trendy looks you see on TV & in the movies in your homes, as well.

Here are a few of the 2012 Lighting & Fixture trends:

THE LOOK

2012 definitely has a style all its own. The buzz word “clean lines” is starting to fade. “Glitz and Glammer” pieces are all through this years new arrivals.

THE MATERIALS

Ropes, Pulley’s, workable parts, industrial, scroll, shades, round balls, wood pendants, cork, crystal,and LED are all things that describe the “now fixtures.” Why? Why not!?

THE COLORS

Antique Brass (a new & hybrid version) is on its way out. Bronzes are getting lighter and looking more like a caramel color. Black is growing increasingly more popular than dark bronze. Grays are the new beige and, in my opinion, will stay that way for a long time ahead!

Stop in and see our new arrivals being installed everyday. Make a change in your home! A small fixture change can completely revolutionize a room!  You never know what may work!

When businesses labor with local community agency’s like Generations of Indian Valley they are given a gift of story.  On Souderton’s MLK volunteer day, I was given a gift of joining some of my guys for the day and engaging in service.  Service is something that comes from my heart, this is something deep in my DNA.  The blood flows through my veins when I see the smiles of my guys at work.  Volunteering is not something they do once a year; this is part of their identity and belief system.  They care about our community, and they give back throughout the year.

Leading this company during a time of economic and climate changes makes me think about our local community in new ways.  I think about how I can help my neighborhood learn about saving money on their electric bills.  To help jumpstart those savings, Bergey’s Electric is giving away a free energy audit to help the homeowner learn practical ways to save! (Yes! We’re continuing this through February! Join us on Facebook for more details!) But there is so much more than saving money- there are real innovative solutions coming to our community, and the team at Bergey’s is leading the way.  I see it in their eyes, and I heard it in the stories shared around the table while we ate at Generations on MLK volunteer day.

What are the stories that have impacted your life, family and community?

I am going to spend 2012 listening to stories and retelling stories on the Bergey’s Electric Blog because people are asking me to share what I think.  That is a humbling ask, because I have been a part of this family business for generations, and I take seriously the requirements to lead in a way other people benefit from our service and solutions.  I guess you could say we are stepping out by faith to be a light in our community.  Or like the billboard on 309 says, “lighting the way since 1937″  (Our new billboard from the great people over at Adam’s Outdoor!)

The reason I enjoy serving the community through my work is because I love this area I grew up in. The community has needs. I can help and I want to help. Making a difference and challenging other to do the same has a beautiful result- Change! Part of that change began for us during the Souderton MLK “Call to Volunteer” Day. Three electricians gave their time for the full day at Generations of Indian Valley  working on the café decorative lighting project.  The changes are meant to give this dining space a warmer and intimate feel.  We chose Hubbardton Forge pendant fixtures from our Lighting Showroom (Dave Nyce is the manager there!)

I know that when we go to Generations of Indian Valley to have lunch in the future, it will give me warm feelings about our volunteer day and how we gave back to the community!

What does it take for a company to stay viable for 3 generations?

Are we offering what the market place needs and wants in our field? Are we listening to our customers? Can we deliver a good product and service at a competitive price? And can we embrace change and reinvent ourselves? Those are our goals!

Recent changes in technology are again changing our world. We’re all affected by energy that has become more expensive. Back when energy was cheap, we had very little reason to adjust our lifestyles to save energy. But

now it’s worth upgrading to high-efficiency equipment and lighting products because of the acceptable payback periods. Yes, even in our Pennsylvania Dutch community, it does make sense to throw away something that is still working!

I have a message to share with our world: Reduce energy waste. Reduce energy costs. Produce cash by generating electricity.

Are you frustrated with your out of control energy costs? Stay tuned to our blog as I spend these next months telling a story of how your future CAN look brighter while you save energy! And if you like Bergey’s Electric on Facebook, you could win one of the FREE Energy Audits we’re giving away this season!

I am so excited about this year! The future is looking bright! You can make a difference in the carbon footprint you are leaving behind, and you can reduce your energy costs freeing up cash for other uses!

Like us on Facebook for a chance to win a Free Energy Audit so you can start the next steps you can take to reduce your consumption!
