August 2014 Newsletter
Message from the
Chief Executive Officer
Recently, our Rotary Meter Department has added new parts to the washing machine. This new equipment has a rust inhibitor to prevent inside moving parts from rusting. In addition, the parts washing machine cleans all meters and parts thoroughly. The solution for the machine gets replaced and recycled every 8 to 10 weeks. This has been a great improvement for the Rotary Department as we continually implement more environmentally friendly choices.
In addition to the new implementations, we are excited to announce that two utility companies have chosen Utilities and Industries to remanufacture their meters! We would like to welcome Con Edison and Orange Rockland for rejoining partnership with us. We are also proud to announce that National Fuel in Buffalo has created a new business relationship with Utilities and Industries.
We are looking for a great year and more implementations within the company!

Longer Term Tips to Save on Your Utility Costs
Over the years appliances will eventually need to be replaced or updated. Some of these items may not help immediately, but they can save you in the long run.
You should always save up and pay cash for larger home repairs. Some of the items may not pay for themselves in sayings, but by making wise choices you can save on utility costs while making a needed home repair.
Some updates you can do are listed below:
1. Plant shade trees
2. Choose lighter colors when selecting exterior paints
3. Metal roofs or at least lighter colored roofing materials will reflect much more heat.
4. New windows help with keeping out the cold in the winter, but they can be just as effective at keeping out heat in the summer.
5. Upgrade your system if it is very old. A new system is often more energy efficient
6. Good insulation and sealing cracks will help keep warm air out and cool air in.

What Our Customers Say
My company, Mid-South Meter & Regulator, is a small natural gas meter repair shop. We have specific needs that were not being met with other vendors we have tried. I started looking around about two years ago and found U&I, they have met all my expectations. They even keep in stock oddball things that probably only I order, but they know I’ll be needing. They stock regulators that we use so there isn’t a long wait when I place an order, which makes my own customers happier. We get prompt, friendly service with every order. I would like to give a special thanks to Mark and Rob for all their help.
