Message from the Chief Executive Officer

Utilities and Industries made a choice in January 2012 to become more environmentally friendly. We are continuing to make “greener” choices in recycling our scrap and wastes.

We have always recycled our metals, but since have added more products to our recycling process. Some of the products we recycle are: electronics, metals, cardboard, plastic, oils and batteries.

Utilities and Industries will be implementing more green products and choices throughout the year. We feel it’s very important to take care of the environment and create safer products for the community.

 

 

 


How to Save & Keep Cool During Summer

During the summer months, it can get extremely hot in the home when using certain appliances. It also depends on what time of the day you are using each one. A couple appliances that pertain to heating the home is, the kitchen oven, dryer, and dishwasher.

The appliance that generates a ton of heat is your oven. When baking and cooking you are doing so at high temperatures. By cooking the majority of your food outside avoids heating up the home. Anyhow, you want to put that grill to good use!

Avoiding your dishwasher and dryer may seem hard, but making a couple sacrifices to keep your home cool is really not that bad. By hand washing your dishes you can save on energy costs and again generating a ton of heat. This also pertains to using your dryer. Step out of the box and dry your clothes the old fashioned way by hanging them up in the home or outside on a clothes line. But, if you swear by your dishwasher and dryer, try using both appliances late at night when it’s not during the peak hours of heat and sunlight.

Following these cost effective tips will help save you on energy costs and help keep unwanted heat out of the home.

 What Our Customers Say

I have used Utilities and Industries for the past 3 years to refurbish domestic diaphragm 250 –425TC meters. To date all of our expectations are being met. Rich and his staff have provided us with excellent customer service and technical expertise in gas meter refurbishment. Most recently when a request was made to install AMR devices on our meters, Utilities reacted instantly.  When the request was made to elevate the level of repairs and  install all new indexes on storm damage meters, meters were delivered in that configuration on the very next shipment. Working with U &  I continues to be a great relationship in getting our meters refurbished and back to us without delays.”

Utilities and Industries has been serving the natural gas industry since 1981. Utilities and Industries supplies the utility companies and natural gas producers throughout the United States with quality products and services. Utilities and Industries relocated their facility to the Reynoldsville Industrial Park and a 25,000 sq. ft. modern state of the art facility in 1995. The increase of business made it necessary to add a 20,000 sq. ft. addition to accommodate the growth.


In 2006 U&I  was obtained by DBI Inc. and  went through a modernization of the re-manufacturing process by installing a conveyor belt system and installed air conditioning throughout the re-manufacturing area to better control the high standards that are in place at Utilities and Industries.
