Stoltzfus Home Improvements is a local, off-grid, cabinet manufacturing facility that uses diesel-powered generators as their prime energy source. HooverTec has always been their go-to for diesel service work. Last year, just before noon on the day after Thanksgiving, HooverTec received an urgent call from them.
The diesel had been running when a hydraulic line ruptured, causing a fire that compromised much of the electrical and engine cooling systems. They were completely out of service.
The owner of Stoltzfus Home Improvements, tells it like this: “10:00 AM we had a fire in the power room. It looked like we could be without power for quite a while.”
Of course, they wanted to be up and running again as soon as possible, but no one knew the depth of the damage.
Within an hour of the owner calling HooverTec, a service tech showed up to figure out what parts they would need. The owner says, “He saw what needed to be done, and by 3:00 in the afternoon, two guys had shown up. They worked until 1:00 in the night to get the diesel running again!” In addition, several techs worked part of Saturday and part of Monday to get the rest of the system back in shape.
Lloyd, the owner, says, “HooverTec’s guys did an outstanding job getting us back in service.” “Communication was good,” he says. Lloyd recommends HooverTec to other businesses, stating that they were “very satisfied” with the time it took HooverTec to get them back into commission.
Disasters like this can happen, even if you try your hardest to prevent them. In that case, the important thing is having a service company that responds quickly—not with a quick fix, but with a lasting and durable solution.
