There are a number of important reasons to Go Green with your home or business. The most significant being that preserving the world’s natural resources is the responsibility of every individual both at work and at home. Going green has the added benefit improving efficiency and potentially lowering operating costs, providing a cleaner and healthier environment .
Here are some ways Kelly Electrical Contractors, Inc. can help you Go Green:
Solar Panels
Unlike traditional power generation sources, solar panel technologies produce electricity using a renewable source without creating noise or emitting pollutants that cause climate changes such as greenhouse gases, smog, acid rain or water resource pollution. Solar power is incredibly versatile and extremely economical. The energy and heat from the sun is free. Once solar panels are set up, there are no electrical expenses necessary to power them.

EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) Charging Stations
As gas prices soar, commuters are looking for alternative fuel sources that are both cleaner and more economical. Electric vehicles run completely independent of gasoline and lack the smoke spewing tailpipes of gas-powered vehicles that emit carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases. Kelly Electrical Contractors, Inc. is fully qualified and experienced in installing charging stations for electric vehicles in both residential and commercial applications.
U-Sockets
U-Socket is a duplex AC receptacle with built-in USB ports that can power any device that is capable of being charged via a 5 volt power adapter, but without the need for the power adapter. When a U-Socket replaces a traditional 3-prong AC wall socket, you can eliminate the clutter of AC Adapters that stick out and take up space in your home or office. Everything stays neat and organized. In addition, U-Socket’s energy efficient design only outputs power through the USB port if something is connected to it. This can save you up to $25 per year in reduced energy costs. This quality product is made right here in the USA. Kelly Electrical Contractors, Inc. is proud to install the U-Socket product line.
Energy Star Lighting
By selecting energy saving lighting, light bulbs, and particularly, Energy Star qualified lighting, you will be working toward reducing your energy bills and significantly reducing greenhouse gases into our air. Energy Star qualified light bulbs and lighting fixtures generally use pin-based light bulbs, which do not screw into the socket, are brighter and have the added benefit of a longer lamp life. The pin-based light bulbs that come with Energy Star qualified fixtures are made and tested to last for 10,000 hours as compared to 6,000 hours for screw-in light bulbs. Energy saving fluorescent light fixtures are available in chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, vanity bath lights, ceiling mounted fixtures, recessed cans, outdoor lanterns and more.
