VFD's and filters

We have had several customers lately ask about Variable Frequency Drives and filters for them. YES, we work with filters and VFD's of all sizes. We can troubleshoot existing installations, design new ones, and work with Idaho Power for possible rebates or simply meeting power quality requirements. We can install power meters that continually monitor power usage, harmonics, and dozens of other power related items.

Solutions... Not sales.

No matter what kind of project you are doing, chances are that you are going to need some help or advice. We all know how frustrating it is to call someone or go to a store and not find the part or help that you need. Sometimes, we don't even really know what we need. That is why you call someone who can help. A sales person can often convince you of "what they want you to need."

On a daily basis, we provide customers with knowledge about there project, and options to accomplish their goals within their budget. We are more focused on solutions, not sales. For example, a customer recently wanted us to look at large contactors that appeared worn. Instead of simply replacing the contactors, we were able to condition the contacts inside the contactors. This option extended the service life of these contactors and saved the customer hundreds of dollars.

Next time you have a project, large or small, call someone you can trust to provide solutions, not just sales.

Seminis Seeds Idaho Power Rebate

Town & Country performed major lighting upgrades at Seminis Seeds in Nampa, qualifying the company to receive a huge $24,417 incentive/rebate check from Idaho Power.

Seminis will reduce power consumption by about 203,000 kilowatt-hours per year, and save over $16,000 annually.

Idaho Power's offers cash incentives to large commercial and industrial customers who undertake complex projects to improve the efficiency of their electrical systems or processes. To learn how your company can take advantage of similar savings, contact us today.

Bucket Truck

Among the many services that Town and Country provides, many people may not know that we also have a bucket truck that expands our abilities. We frequently use our bucket truck for parking lot lighting and power poles, but there are many uses. We currently have two experienced drivers with CDL's. From setting pumps to changing lights or standing arches, call us today to discuss your project.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is only a week away. Here at Town & Country we want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Soon the days will start getting longer, but in the mean time the weather will do the "Idaho" thing and constantly change. Many people use portable heaters to help provide additional heat to their home. While this is common practice, we would like to offer words of advice to help keep everyone safe this holiday. Portable electric heaters usually draw rather large amounts of electricity which can cause problems, especially in older homes. Always unplug your heater when you leave, even if you are just leaving that area of your house. An unattended heater is a recipe for disaster. We have had some service calls already this year that could have become a very dangerous situation very fast. Here are a couple pictures of outlets that had space heaters plugged into them.

Hotel Remodel

Town & Country is proud to have been a part of a remodel project at the Sleep Inn in Nampa. We worked with Idaho Power to get the hotel the largest rebate possible. The project turned out great and we would recommend anyone needing a hotel in Nampa to check out these fabulous new rooms.
