Everything began in the spring of 1978 
 31 Years ago!

  It began with one pickup truck, no supplies and few tools. I worked out of the basement of my home at 5 Burt St. in Bellows Falls, VT. Customers called from the beginning and the business grew quickly. I have been fortunate to have many of my original customers continue to call for our services. I believe they have been happy with our services or they wouldn't have been loyal for all these years. Within a short time I added many accounts both commercial and residential. Many have become close friends over the years. Many businesses have come and gone and fortunately I have been able to maintain a base of great customers. When one business closed another would open.

  Word of mouth has been a great advertiser. I appreciate the many years of their patronage and loyalty. Unfortunately loyalty seems to be a commodity that is becoming rarer and rarer with the next generation. Everyone today is concerned with the bottom line with no concern for quality, workmanship, or experience. Unfortunately many with this approach will learn that the cheapest price is not always the best route to take. There are many reasons to hire someone who is experienced, insured and has a solid reputation. Without continued support few businesses could survive for long. I am seeing at present many old time businesses giving up as it is hard to sustain a business in this day and age due to ever increasing expenses. Unfortunately we live in an area where incomes are low and expenses are high. I have faith that my customers will continue to value our dedicated service and reputation for doing superior work.

  Today we have two full time master electricians on staff. We have purchased many tools over the years to try and minimize the time it takes to complete work and to provide a top notch product while trying to keep labor to a minimum. As you all know the cost of tools, trucks, computers, insurance, gas etc. have all been on the rise. It has been necessary over time to increase rates to accommodate these increases. Be assured no increase is taken lightly and we are always looking for ways to cut the bottom line in order to remain competitive. Continuing education is on-going and due to the extra liability insurance and classes required to be up to date on all the codes and new equipment it has been necessary to institute two tiered billing. It has been particularly necessary to charge more for fire alarm work due to the increased expenses associated with this work.

  Liability insurance and the cost of special schooling and test equipment have contributed to the higher costs associated with fire alarm work.

  Currently we have close to 50 years of experience on staff. There are few things we haven't seen and fewer that we are unable to deal with properly. If we don't know we will get the answers we need.

We have the ability to do a little ditch work with our Vermeer 2050 ditch digger. It can be a great time saver hence a money saver as well. If you need a line buried please give consideration to using our services. Please realize however that the digger requires that there are no stones larger than the width of the ditch, approximately 5-6". If there are, this will not be the proper machine to use. However, if your soil is sandy and/or has minimal stones, this machine can be a super time saver and very cost efficient.
