Tim Amos
Retired Assistant Superintendent/CFO of Asheville City Schools
Asheville, NC
On March 1, 2009, after 27 years, I retired as the Assistant Superintendent/CFO for Asheville City Schools. During my tenure, I was consistently challenged to find ways to reduce expenses in an effort to balance the annual budget. As an accountant, I have always been skeptical of money-saving concepts that appear to be "too good to be true." Well, I did find one concept in my career that really is just as advertised, read on...
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Electric Solution. Over the years, Asheville City Schools has engaged the services of David Johnson (Electric Solution) on more than one occasion. David's knowledge and expertise in understanding power consumption and utility tariffs is impressive. He has saved our schools well over $70,000 a year since we began our relationship back in 1993. There is really no down side to this.
David has always been available to answer any questions we had, and on several occasions went well above our expectations by offering advice that resulted in further utility expense reductions. The quality of their work is high, their invoicing was always clear and concise and their integrity speaks for itself. I highly recommend David Johnson and Electric Solution for any and all school systems, as well as any other organizations looking for ways to reduce expenses.
It is rare in today's business climate to find a man true to his word for as long as David has been. Over the years our relationship has developed into ore than just a business relationship. Today, I am happy to call David a friend.

It is very important for our family to budget our income carefully and try to reduce our expenses as much as possible.
I contacted the electric company in April 2006 to see what was available to help us budget and reduce our electric bill. The electric company employee suggested we try the Equal Payment Plan. This would not reduce our bill, but at least help us plan when budgeting.
In September, some men from our church came to do some odd jobs for us. One of them works for Electric Solution in Asheville. He said he had some equipment (called an Energy Sentry) which could actually reduce our electric bill. He installed the Energy Sentry which was donated by Electric Solution.
Savings are projected to exceed $800 per year.
I understand that the Energy Sentry reduces the demand my home places on the electric company which will defer the need to build another power plant. This should be good for the environment.

It’s really nice when savings work out the way the way they are supposed to. In my case, Crest Mountain and its various buildings and operations were able to save almost $1,000 a month without changing gears. I wish I had more opportunities like this. Thanks Electric Solution!

IWANNA, Inc., Asheville, NC
Iwanna, Inc. let Electric Solution go to work for us in June 2006. Our power bill is considerable taking into consideration we are a fully operational publishing company with our own web press all housed in a 40,000 square foot building. Electric Solution taught us how the power industry works with peaks that increase your rates that never quite go down when the peak usage ends.
They have maintained an ongoing communication letting us know how we are doing. The documentation includes every detail including Progress Energy’s usage report. The savings we are experiencing are considerable and will undoubtedly be even greater as winter energy costs rise. In short, I would highly recommend any business to talk to an Electric Solution representative. It will be of value if your energy bills are increasing.

Sonic Drive Inns
Asheville & Brevard, NC
Electric Solution has been our utility auditor of record for Sonic Drive Inn locations since 2004. We have been more than pleased with their services. The combination of savings was amazing. To date, we have saved over $27,000 between our 6 locations on Progress Energy and Duke Power electric bills. It’s good to know that they are watching out for us, and that our electric usage is audited each and every month. We would certainly recommend your services to any company, and most especially companies with branch outlets.

With electric bills going up and up and the need for all forms of energy demand is growing, it is so nice to see that I am averaging a savings of around $200 per month with the Energy Sentry. Thank you Electric Solution!

Woodfin Ridge Golf Club
Inman, SC
We are very pleased with the services of Electric Solution here at Woodfin Ridge Golf Club. With the rate schedule changes and the equipment installed, we are on track to save about $1,000 this year from the irrigation system, cart storage facility and the clubhouse. We have not noticed any changes in our day to day activities or business operations.
With today’s business climate, it is great to be able to save this much money on our bottom line, and we will continue to benefit every year. In the future, we will use these funds for new projects on the golf course we might have otherwise not been able to do.

Woodland Hills Baptist Church
Asheville, NC
Woodland Hills Church worked with David Barbee and Electric Solution in 2005 to develop a strategy to save the church and the school money and improve our operations. We found David to be a straight shooter, who knew his stuff. The installation, because of the complexity of our schedules at church and the school, was complex and difficult, but at each glitch, David was able to respond quickly and well to each complication. The real test of these kinds of changes is usually in the response to unanticipated issues. David was terrific and we are very satisfied. David continues to respond to us quickly and competently when we have a problem or question. We are now almost 12 months into the installation and our savings are in excess of what Electric Solution predicted. That is all one can ask. Our payback on the investment looks to be less than 3 years. We would highly recommend David and Electric Solution.

You made saving money easy as picking up the phone! All I did was give you my Progress Energy account number, and you did the rest. I save over $2200 in electric bills and I didn’t lift a finger! I’ve recommended Electric Solution to all of my friends who want to save money. Thank you for your excellent service.
