Chestnut Electric Corp. Partners With Verde Energy USA in CT to Offer Alternative Energy Choices

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 16, 2010 - Tony Dorn, president of Chestnut Electric Corp. in Wilton and Greenwich, Connecticut, with a customer base of over 10,000 homes in Fairfield County and Westchester County, New York, announced his company will partner with Verde Energy USA to offer Chestnut Electric’s Connecticut customers up to a 10% monthly savings on their electric bills. “When our Connecticut customers in New Canaan, Darien, Wilton, Ridgefield, Norwalk and throughout Fairfield County choose alternative energy provider Verde Energy through Chestnut Electric,” explained Dorn, “they will receive the same utility bill, save 10% on that bill every month, plus receive a check for $50 as a bonus just for signing up with Verde.”

Based in Norwalk, Connecticut, Verde Energy USA began service as an alternative electric supplier to Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) in 2009. Since that time, they have provided monthly electric savings to over 80,000 customers. Richard Reilly, executive vice president of Verde Energy USA explained, “The switch to Verde USA through Chestnut Electric is absolutely seamless. A household’s local utility company will continue to provide the power to that home, and all the needed servicing. There are no contracts to sign to switch to Verde. Our job is simply to reduce the actual amount a household pays each month for electricity. Partnering with Chestnut Electric is an ideal match.”

Dorn pointed out that, “Nearly 90% of Connecticut’s corporations have learned they can obtain significant savings when they switch to an alternative energy provider. Residential consumers are finally beginning to understand they too can have electricity supplied to their homes and save big. I believe the well-known Chestnut Electric name and reputation will afford our customers more comfort in joining in this money-saving opportunity.”

To provide additional services to their customers, Chestnut Electric Corp., has established an Inner Circle of advantages for their customers. “When a customer switches their energy provider to Verde Energy USA,” explained Dorn, “he or she will automatically be enrolled in our Inner Circle which offers preferred account status.” In addition to saving money on their monthly electric bills, Inner Circle members will receive discounted rates on all electrical work and repair; preferred status for scheduling all electrical maintenance and repair work; plus fast account retrieval when they call Chestnut Electric’s customer service department. “They will receive top priority attention.”

Established in 1980, Chestnut Electric Corp. has earned a highly-respected reputation for quality service. Identified by their distinctive large 3.5 foot bright orange roadway cones, Chestnut Electric provides both residential and commercial service. “We do everything from general home maintenance and repair”, explained Ed Tomlinson, operations manager for Chestnut Electric Corp., “to custom indoor and outdoor lighting and design to installation of emergency generators, A/C and appliance wiring.”

Tony Dorn joined Chestnut Electric Corp. in 1980 to provide high-caliber, reliable electrical services to homes and businesses in Wilton, Connecticut and surrounding towns. While helping to build some of the most luxurious homes in the upscale Fairfield County, he simultaneously grew the electric business from 4 employees to 22 crew members who are currently manning 18 trucks servicing homes and businesses in Fairfield and Westchester Counties.

“Our success,” stated Dorn, “is due in a large part to our fully-trained, licensed electricians who are highly-skilled technicians committed to broadening their expertise through continuing education programs. The fact that our crew members are full-time, and we don’t employ sub-contractors, our crew is invested in our company on many levels. They are our frontline representatives who are strongly dedicated to ensuring that their people-communication skills are continually as polished as their technical skills. At every situation, they handle property, home and business owner concerns with a great deal of respect and professionalism.”
