Energy Savings

Search for an electrician online these days and chances are that you’ll notice what we did…more electrical shops have combined their services with other subcontractors to offer across-the-board repairs and remodeling.

Plumbers have aligned with Electrical Contractors and with HVAC specialists. Electrical Contractors have merged with alternative power companies. Some subcontractors are now promoting their companies as a one-stop-shop for all home repairs.

At Allstar Electrical Services Inc., we believe in doing one thing well-Electrical repair and contracting services. We don’t want to be all things to all people, insists Allstar founder and president Gary Stone.

“Decades of experience as licensed, bonded and insured master electricians has shown us that we can outshine any other electrical contractor in the Western United States because we focus on electrical contracting and repairs exclusively,” says Stone who has been in the electrical contracting business for 30 years.

Stone draws the analogy of the dentist vs. the hygienist. “Some people insist on seeing a dentist who performs routine cleanings himself. Others realize that they’re better off being treated by the hygienist because a hygienist cleans teeth all day long, every day and therefore is more expert than the dentist who does it occasionally.”

At Allstar Electrical Services, we’re experts in electrical installation for commercial and residential, indoors and outdoors. We’re expert at new construction and remodeling and repairs. We don’t pretend to do framing or drywall finish or plumbing and heating. We don’t do roofing or window installation. We do electrical work and we do it better than anyone.

We arrive on time. We respond to emergencies 24/7. We are family-owned and operated. We clean up our work area when finished. We get the job done better and quicker than companies that try to be a jack of all trades and master of none.

If you’ve got an electrical repair-no matter how minor-contact Allstar today at 303-399-7420. You’ll discover why our experi8enced, reputable company is the only one you’ll call in the future.

In our internet world, technology and relationships are often mutually exclusive.  You don’t have to talk with a retailer to make an online purchase. Even little things that used to be a time-consuming nuisance, like going to the Post Office, can be done today online, saving time and sparing you the interaction with another human being.

But when it comes to repairs, emergencies and otherwise, anonymity can leave a property owner feeling unsettled that he or she isn’t going to get the quality repair that came with old-school formalities like a handshake.

That’s the reason Allstar Electrical Services, Inc. has instituted its WINTER SECURITY BLANKET protection for its loyal and long-term residential customers. Serving all of Colorado’s Front Range, from the Denver metro area to Colorado Springs, Allstar Electrical Services wants its valued clients to know that they come first in the event of an emergency call.

By signing up for Allstar Electrical’s Winter Security Blanket Agreement, customers can rest assured that in the event of an electrical emergency Allstar’s repair crews will prioritize the customer’s call, ensuring that an electrician is on the job site before the day is out. It’s the kind of confirmation that a homeowner welcomes, especially in the case of an electrical malfunction or breakdown.

“Our customers are supremely important to us,” says Gary Stone, President of Allstar Electrical Services, Inc. “Many of our customers have been with us since the day we opened our doors. They’ve come to count on us in emergencies, and yet the construction industry has become so competitive that quick response can be a luxury. We never want a valued customer to worry that his electrical repair will have to wait more than that day to be fixed.”

To that end, Allstar Electrical Service’s Winter Security Blanket Agreement, available for an annual fee of only $95, are like an insurance policy—protecting customers against the worry that they’ll ever be left literally in the dark or without other electrical service when an emergency arises.

With the rising costs of electricity, I’m not sure I can afford to light my home as I have in the past. Is there an alternative to the traditional light bulb that will cut the cost of living in light?

In the United States alone, light bulbs make up one quarter of all electricity used but they waste nearly half of their energy. All that’s changed with the introduction of the new light-emitting diodes. According to the Department of Energy, this scientific breakthrough is able to reduce energy consumption by 29% by 2025 for a total savings of $125 billion.

According to Gary Stone, founder of Allstar Electrical Services, traditional light bulbs use 95% of their energy to generate heat and only 5% for light, while LEDs use nearly 100% of their power to directly create light, consuming much less energy and saving you money.

I am sick of the light bulbs in my home burning out after what seems like a few months. I have heard LED bulbs last longer. But I’ve also heard they are more expensive. When will there be a long lasting, economical light bulb?

The typical incandescent light bulb lasts about 850 hours and a long-life bulb can last up to 2,500 hours. Still these lengths don’t hold a candle to the new LED technology, according to Gary Stone, founder of Allstar Electrical Services serving all of metro Denver and Colorado Springs plus the Front Range. While LEDs vary in life, they can last up to 50,000 hours or nearly six years of constant use. The downfall to LED lighting, like all products that are relatively new to the market, is that they can cost up to $20 per bulb. It is important to weigh the savings in the cost of energy as well as the lifespan of LED bulbs.

If all of these numbers put you brain into a tailspin, call Stone at Allstar Electrical Services, Inc. for a review of your home’s electrical needs. Allstar Electrical Services has instituted a Premier Customer Service Agreement for customers that ensures same-day response in the event of an emergency. Loyal and long-term customers plus new customers to Allstar Electrical Service are signing up for this opportunity. For just $95 a year, you can be ensured that in the event of a lighting emergency, Stone and his team of licensed and bonded electrical contractors and electricians responds to your needs same day, before other calls. With this Service Agreement, you can rest assured that your needs will be prioritized and your service restored, repairs made, and any electrical faults repaired prior to day’s end.

Call Allstar Electrical Service today and learn more about the Premier Customer Service Agreement.  It’s a good time too to arrange for an Allstar electrician to review your home or business electrical needs.  Allstar can be reached at 303-399-7420 in Denver and 719-314-9419 in Colorado Springs.

With all of the technological advances made to conserve energy, is there a way I can help save the environment and cut my energy costs?

The new LED trend is just one part of the massive effort to conserve energy and our Planet Earth. While it seems small, The Alliance to Save Energy found that since 1973 energy efficiency technologies and conservation efforts have aided to a 40% cut in the level of energy consumed in the United States.

If the amount of energy used in the United States is not curtailed, we will be facing much higher prices if not a complete depletion of fossil fuels. While changing a light bulb seems miniscule, it’s a step to help the environment as well as cut your energy costs.  Contact Gary Stone at Allstar Electrical Service to schedule a review of your home or business today to learn what other savings you can implement into your electrical use.
