iPads for Efficient Customer Service

Leinbach Services Inc. announces today that their technicians are working more efficiently and more environmentally friendly by utilizing apps on iPad Minis provided to them by the company.

Technicians are using the iPad Minis to file and send bills electronically, and they’re also able to check which products are in stock at office locations for their customer’s convenience. This saves the company and customers time, and the company will save money by eliminating the waste of printing and wages spent paying a clerk to file it. Dispatchers at the office will be able to more efficiently communicate with each technician through the iPad Minis without disrupting the quality of service the customer receives.

“This technology has set us apart from our competitors,” said Jim Leinbach, President of Leinbach Services. “We’re constantly looking for ways to be more efficient and to exceed our customer’s expectations, and these iPad Minis helps us accomplish that goal.”

The iPads were purchased at City Mac in Bristol, Virginia.

We offer special financing, no money down on:

• New heat pump/gas furnace installations
• Electrical panel change outs
• New water heater and installation

LED (Light emitting diode) lamps typically use less watts per unit of light which can cut down on your electric bill. LEDs are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material. They do not have a filament like incandescent light bulbs.
Wall packs are the lights on the outside of your building that hang on the outside wall. They consist of a cast aluminum housing, ballast compartment, lamp chamber and a glass refractor lens to spread the light. Most use metal halide light bulbs. If you changed the halide light out with a LED bulb, you can save money.
Let say you have 10 wall packs that are 170 watts each, that means you are burning 1700 watts per hour.
With 20 watt LEDs, you are burning 200 watts of the same amount of light.
* SAVING 1500 watts per hour on an 8 hour night
* You save 12,000 watts per night,
* You save 84,000 watts per week,
*You save 4,368,000 watts per year.
That’s right 4 million 378 thousand watts per year saving. You are saving 88.2% between the halide and the LED light bulbs.
They also:
* have less green house gas emissions from power plants
* can decrease the danger of getting burnt,
* are less a fire hazard because they generate less heat,
* last longer, so you buy less often and less go to the landfills.
Say hello to extra money by saying hello LEDs.
Let Leinbach Services help you save money by replacing your old wall packs.

Public Power Daily
Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Please review this previous post about a scam that recently targeted a JCPB customer:

Thanks to our friends at the American Public Power Association (APPA) for reporting on a multi-state scam that has targeted utility customers across the country. The scam aims to steal payments and identity information using in-person solicitations, social media, fliers, phone calls and text messages. Victims have been reported in states such as California, Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Florida.

A multi-state scam has targeted utility customers across the country. The scam aims to steal payments and identity information using in-person solicitations, social media, fliers, phone calls and text messages. Victims have been reported in states such as California, Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Florida.

Customers have been told that President Obama has approved special funding through the Federal Reserve Bank for utility bill assistance, but there is no such funding.

Scammers are asking customers for personal information, such as Social Security numbers. They then provide victims with a fraudulent bank routing number with which to pay their utility bills.

Gainesville, Fla., Regional Utilities has over 40 customers that used the fraudulent bank routing numbers to pay their utility bills. GRU said the utility believes customers are passing on the routing number to each other via text messages.

“We strive to make our customers aware of potential scams so they can protect themselves from becoming victims of identity theft and other fraudulent activities,” said Bill Shepherd, GRU’s director of customer operations. “Customers should always proceed with caution if an offer sounds too good to be true.”

Other scam victims include customers of the Fort Pierce, Fla., Utilities Authority; Kissimmee, Fla., Utility Authority; and Memphis, Tenn., Light, Gas and Water. Memphis in particular has had about 1,000 customers fall victim to the scam. The utility alerted local media and posted information on its website and social media sites when it first heard about the scam in May.

While the scams seem concentrated in just a few states, utilities across the country are urging customers to remain vigilant. Other utilities in Kentucky, Montana, New York, New Jersey and Washington have issued warnings. —CAITLIN MCDONNELL
