Residential Electrical Services 

Today nearly all facility electrical loads are deemed essential because all are necessary for the normal continuation of the business.  According to research by contingency planning organizations, the cost of an electrical outage can exceed $1 million per hour for the average large business.  In certain industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, energy production and telecommunications, losses may reach $2-$3 million per hour or higher. Given these high-stake risks, facilities managers worldwide are being forced to evaluate new options for providing a continuous supply of power.  As the risk of financial loss due to an outage escalates, so does the justification for standby power systems that meet more than just minimum safety or electrical code needs.  

Energy Efficiency

Lighting represents as much as 25 percent of electrical use, so it is a significant part of your monthly utility bill.  Lighting affects the way you feel, work, and interact with others. It helps you accomplish everyday tasks.  Most of us still use the incandescent bulb, which is basically the same technology invented by Thomas Edison over 100 years ago.  Since lighting represents as much as 25 percent of electrical use, increasing your lighting efficiency is one of the easiest and fastest ways to lower your energy bills.  One easy way to reduce your electric bill without sacrificing the quality of your lighting is to replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights.  Compact fluorescents come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and wattages to fit most lamps and light fixtures. The light they provide is a soft, warm color, similar to incandescents, but they use up to 75% less energy, and should last approximately 10,000 hours. That is about ten times longer than a regular incandescent light bulb.  Acterra Electric can help you upgrade your lighting for more energy efficiency.  

Solar Energy Photovoltaics

Acterra Electrical provides commercial, industrial, and residential users solar technology. Increasing power costs have given new rise to photovoltaics, PV for short. Unlike solar panels of yesteryear, PV technology generates energy enough to supply the structure it’s built into as well as supplying the electrical grid serving the neighborhood. Acterra Electrical installs PV systems in residences and commercial buildings.  The Energy Policy Act of 2008 provided a 30% Federal Tax Credit – a full credit, not just a deduction – for qualifying solar photovoltaic systems expiring on December 31, 2016.

PV systems contain crystalline cells that convert the light of the sun directly into energy. These roofing panels can be installed over any conventional roofing material, for example over roofing tile. The systems can also be installed on the “eyebrows” over windows, in glass-on-glass skylights and in panoramic view walls. The power output from these durable panels is guaranteed for 20 years. PV is used worldwide from niche markets in developed countries to rural villages in underdeveloped nations. In Scandinavia, tens of thousands of vacation homes are lit by photovoltaics. Globally, there are well over 100,000 off-grid residential PV systems sometimes serving as a sole energy source. Increasingly, it’s being used to replace diesel generators, as diesel is expensive to fuel, difficult to maintain and environmentally harmful. Utilities use PV to produce power for the grid, particularly at peak demand times when power is the most expensive.
