As the area’s premiere electrician approaches its 12th anniversary, A Plus Electric has just initiated another major step forward.  The A Plus headquarters will soon move to the building formerly occupied by the In Good Company restaurant.  The new building is located on 127 just north of Jefferson Road intersection, Clark Lake.  The reason for the move?  More space for a growing business.

The A Plus Electric master electrician and owner is Carl Evanson.  “When we acquired our present building at the intersection of Hyde and Jefferson Road, our business increased.  People like to know their dealing with a solid company, and what’s more solid than brick and mortar?”

The increased space the new building offers is no small thing.  Carl says “we’re able to house major equipment and keep a larger inventory of parts.  That will cut down on service time and save customers money.”

A Plus Electric stays on the cutting edge in a rapidly changing world.  Along with standard electrical items, there is space for inventory of innovated electronics that create whole-home solutions.  Carl explains “we recently contracted with Lutron.  They are leaders in connecting lights, cameras, audio and video.  Homeowners have control through a simple remote at the house or anywhere in the world via an app on a smartphone.”

Access also improves. “Being on major thoroughfare saves time in arriving at a customer’s home.  They know they can depend on us for quick, quality and affordable service.  This move boosts each one of those important qualities.”

The staff is happy about the move, too.  Carl is hearing “they look forward to more space for customer care and follow-through.

Modifications will transform the restaurant into a perfect setting.  Work begins soon, and we’ll keep you up to date on progress.

Veterans Day becomes more real when you get to know someone who has served.  Marc is an electrician with A Plus Electric.  As a sergeant in the Marines, he saw first-hand what our military does on behalf of our country.  He recalls the time his group evacuated the U.S. embassy in Albania.  “Terrorists had threatened to blow it up, and our job was to convert a soft target into a hard target.”  Other times his outfit pursued precision raids. “Our orders were to go after high value targets and come back with intel.”  Put together the Albanian experience and time spent in Africa and you begin to get clarity on what our military means to us. Marc’s years of service illustrate a willingness to devote part of his life to our country and take risks to life and limb along the way.

This Veterans Day is an opportunity to salute Marc and the thousands of others who have sacrificed for the United States.  Do you have a veteran close by?  November 11th, or any day, is a good time to say “thank you.”

Here are some frightening statistics about fires:

• Three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without working smoke alarms.
• More than one-third (38 percent) of home fire deaths result from fires in which no smoke alarms are present.
• The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms.

A fresh battery in your smoke alarm could save your life.  And your smoke alarm won’t wake you unnecessarily with loud “low-battery” beeps.

Changing batteries is not always easy.  Smoke detectors are located in high places, and most require a ladder for access.  A Plus Electric wants to help.  One of our technicians will come to your house and replace the batteries in all your smoke alarms, and do it again in six months for $75 (batteries included).  Call 529-0000.   The safety of your family could depend on it.  Offer good thru October 31, 2017.
