  • Our Solar Panel Installation: The details

    Solar Panels installed at Bergey's Electric Last week we shared how we recently installed Solar Panels on our business roof. Today we want to share a little more behind our decision to do so! 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 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. How do solar panels & the benefits translate for the average home owner? Solar Panels are a responsible thing to do. By...

  • Bergey’s Electric installs Solar Panels

    solar panel installation At the age of twelve, I built a boat and two oars. Of course because I was just 12 years old and believed I was invincible, I was convinced I had to experience this new boat I built to the fullest. I convinced my uncle to join me on a boating adventure & we had a wild ride in the raging water. That little creek we took on was moving fast! 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...

  • Bergey’s Electric: Giving back during MLK Volunteer Day

    Bergey's-Electric-Lighting 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...

  • Reduce energy waste. Reduce energy costs!

    reduce-energy-costs Here at Bergey’s Electric, we are very excited about our 75th year birthday celebration in 2012!

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...
