Imagine hiring a single handyman to handle all the tasks within your four walls. Sounds absurd, right? You opt for specialists because you understand the importance of quality and expertise. But what about the outdoors? Research indicates that about 70% of potential customers won't step foot in your door if the curb appeal isn't inviting. Yet, we often entrust the outdoors to generalists. Is it because it's easier or are they experts in everything? Expecting the same person who mows your lawn and plows your snow to also be an agronomist isn't realistic. This approach can lead to poor first impressions, costing you significant revenue. So, why not consider hiring scientific specialists for your turf, tree, and shrub care? Enter TruGreen Commercial. We are trusted by over 500,000 commercial properties.

As many of you know, I am a proud dog owner, and Lola has been my loyal companion for years now. But little did I know, she would one day showcase her incredible problem-solving skills. As Maintenance Director and Facility Management, I have faced my fair share of challenges, but this one was particularly daunting. We had not one, but two major water leaks back to back in a 54-story building in downtown Los Angeles. The situation was urgent and in a moment of panic, I turned to Lola for help. To my amazement, she led us straight to the location of the water shut off for that floor. It was as if she knew exactly what needed to be done. With Lola's guidance, we were able to shut off the water within 30 minutes of the original call, preventing any further damage to the building. This experience also highlighted the importance of having a calm and collected mindset during emergencies. As professionals in the Asset Preservation industry, we know the importance of having an action plan in case of any emergency. This incident also reminded me of the crucial role we play in ensuring the safety and preservation of buildings. And while our team members were the real heroes in this situation obviously, Lola was there for moral support and some fun of course.. 🤓🤪🐾🐶 #dogwithjobs #assetpreservation #emergencyshutoffs #MEP #Commissioning #Mechanical #ChiefEngineering #Electrical #Plumbing #Shutoffmap #HVAC #emergencysituation #problemsolving #teamwork #manbestfriend #Maintenancejobs #multifamily #apartmentliving #engineering #apartmentmaintenance #restoration #highriseliving #highriseproblems #Domesticwater #Buildingengineering #waterintrusion #remediation #moisturemeter #infraredimagin #drydown #propertymanagement #LosAngeles #DTLA

PECO Tree and Vegetation Management Work in Chester County Aimed at Preventing Outages and Improving Reliability for Customers  Programs underway have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in vegetation-related outages across the region   PHILADELPHIA (October 3, 2024) — PECO is executing a strategic tree and vegetation management program in Chester County to help reduce power outages caused by severe weather, support infrastructure enhancements, and improve the overall safety and reliability of service. Trees and other vegetation account for approximately one-third of power outages across the region, which is why addressing trees surrounding overhead power lines is an integral part of PECO’s commitment to enhancing reliability, which extends beyond regular equipment maintenance and repairs.    PECO’s vegetation management programs include preventive pruning (clearing of fast-growing tree limbs and branches away from power lines) and tree removal (where necessary). To support these efforts, PECO has enlisted specially trained and qualified arborists, following the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 standard, to ensure responsible pruning and promote the health of existing vegetation.   “Storms are becoming more frequent, stronger and more severe, causing significant tree damage and resulting in power outages for our customers,” said Iris Boci, PECO vice president of Technical Services. “The major storm in July caused extensive tree and vegetation damage across Chester County, particularly in the western portions of the County. We’re serious about managing the delicate balance between ensuring reliability and protecting the environment and we are thoughtful in our approach to this necessary tree and vegetation work.”   Since the beginning of 2024 PECO has invested more than $2 million in vegetation management in Chester County and there is still work to be completed. If vegetation management work is scheduled to occur in their area, customers will receive notification in advance.   According to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s Electric Reliability Report for 2023, vegetation has consistently been the leading cause of outages in Pennsylvania since 2015. Historically, in regions where PECO performed vegetation clearance work, there was a 30 percent reduction in vegetation-related outages and a significant improvement in electric reliability. Most outages occur during extreme weather, such as the thunderstorms that caused power outages for more than 100,000 customers in Chester County in July. Notably, 86 percent of these outages were caused by vegetation. During the several storm events that have occurred so far in 2024, PECO vegetation management crews completed nearly 900 jobs to remove vegetation that caused a power outage.   PECO recognizes and appreciates the importance of trees across the region, which is why the company’s ReLeaf Program was created to expand southeastern Pennsylvania’s tree canopy.  

IT'S THE FLAPPER FRED! As a companion to my current job hunt protocols, I uncovered an unexpected home cash drain issue that resonated with personal finance and business practices. As the "home maintenance supervisor" I identified a significant water leakage problem caused by a faulty water reservoir flapper. Through meticulous investigation, potential culprits such as a shaky outdoor faucet, incremental daily household usage with the kids visiting, and an unreliable lawn irrigation system emerged. Ultimately, a simple $4 fix from Home Depot resolved the issue, emphasizing the impact of overlooked expenses on personal finances and business profitability. This experience underscored the importance of scrutinizing every detail to uncover hidden costs and optimize efficiency. By addressing minor issues promptly, we can prevent substantial financial drains and enhance overall productivity. Remember, thoroughness in both personal and professional realms is key to identifying and rectifying potential losses. This is a healthy companion to, and not substitute for, emphasis on growth driving to truly cement your organization's position as a pillar for the future. #Efficiency #CostSavings #BusinessOptimization
