Safety first is the consumer’s primary concern when choosing an electrical contractor. Dale Cardwell, founder of TrustDale.com, recommends Pat Murphy Electric, Inc. if you want to insure the safety of your loved ones as well as get a fair and honest value! Click HERE to receive 10% off any electrical service up to $1,000 AND your Pat Murphy/TD Make It Right Guarantee!
Pat Murphy Electric has two “Golden Rules.” First: “Work safe and don’t get hurt.” Second is “No Short Cut’s, Period!” If their employees are not 100% sure as how to proceed with a particular task, they must ask for help. Pat Murphy Electric always follows the National Electrical Code and Local Codes when performing their work as a minimum standard. They install their work (your electrical requirement) thinking ahead as to how it will be performing in fifty years.
Pat Murphy Electric offers residential customers flat rate pricing. This means an upfront price quote for the entire job, regardless of unforeseen circumstances. Owner Guy Roberts’ philosophy: “Over-charging is always worse than undercharging the customer.” Dale says, “As a consumer (and experienced investigative reporter) I don’t want cheap electrical service for the same reasons I don’t want cheap medical attention. Our review finds Pat Murphy Electric’s prices are extremely competitive and the company offers consistent, fair and honest value for every residential commercial and industrial customer.”

Don’t get caught in the middle!

When you’ve had a tragic event, such as a fire or break-in, don’t suffer twice by getting caught between tragedy and the insurance company. Dale Cardwell, founder of TrustDale, trusts Galish Group Insurance Services to get you the best coverage for homeowner’s insurance at the best price. Click HERE to receive this exclusive offer: If we can’t beat your rates, apples to apples, we’ll give a $25 gift card. Plus, Your Galish Group / TD Make It Right Guarantee! After the fire or after the break-in is not the time to discover your policy has hidden caveats or exclusions.
Your home and all the possessions in it represent the largest purchase most of us will ever make. It’s ironic to note that how our home and belongings are insured is often overlooked. Most people spend more time reading the comics or checking Facebook than learning about their home coverage. Just like everything else, it’s confusing and no one ever takes the time to explain it to you. TrustDale’s investigation finds that’s not the case with the Galish Group. Glenn and his team have relationships with hundreds of companies and they’re committed to finding the best, most cost effective fit for you.
TrustDale Tip of the Day: Winterizing Your Home Ahead of Freezing Weather
*Most standard home insurance policies do not cover damage caused by frozen pipes if you have not taken reasonable care to prevent such damage. If you live in a cold climate and leave your home unoccupied for more than a few days, drain plumbing pipes and shut off the water supply or arrange to have somebody regularly check to be sure there’s enough heat to prevent pipes from freezing.

TrustDale Tip of the Day: GAS OR CHARCOAL GRILL CARE
* Grill racks get to a point that a wire brush just isn’t enough. Try this….when the racks are cool, place them in a trash bag and spray them thoroughly with oven cleaner. Seal the bag closed and let sit outside overnight. The next day, using rubber gloves, remove the grill from the bag, dispose of the bag and rinse the rack thoroughly. You might need to brush the rack a little but it shouldn’t take much effort.

Making a regional or interstate move?
March 25, 2011 by bruce
Filed under Consumer Advice You Can Trust
Are you looking to make a move locally, within the state of Georgia, or across the state line? Dale Cardwell, president of TrustDale.com, recommends Atlanta Peach Movers (APM). APM promises to deliver the best possible service for a low, competitive price. APM provides free estimates for all customers and is committed to accuracy and full disclosure on all estimates and invoices. Click HERE to receive $25.00 off your regional move and $50.00 off your interstate move and the TrustDale Make it Right Guarantee!
Pricing varies according to the type of move and according to the dictates of the Georgia Public Services Commission (GPSC). Local moves (50 miles or less) are priced on an hourly rate. Intrastate moves (within the state of Georgia, but over 50 miles) and interstate moves (any move that crosses a state line) are priced according to weight and distance. TrustDale has found APM’s low hourly rates reflect compliance with maximum rates published by the GPSC, business imperatives, and competitive forces. Long distance rates are based on a published tariff that is filed with regulatory agencies and is available for public scrutiny. Atlanta Peach Movers promises to deliver the best possible service for a low, competitive price. APM provides free estimates for all customers and is committed to accuracy and full disclosure on all estimates and invoices.
Quality service is the hallmark of Atlanta Peach Movers. It begins with the hiring and training of all employees. All APM personnel are background-checked and drug-screened. New employees undergo rigorous training at Atlanta Peach University, the company’s on-site facility where trainees learn to pack cartons, pad, wrap and move furniture in a full-scale “mock” house. On moving day, crews pad and wrap every piece of furniture—before it’s moved– for optimum protection. They also provide professional crating for the protection of special items. Each mover is held personally responsible for the safe handling of all items, and receives monetary reward for damage-free performance.
Estimates are free, including on-site residential visits. They stay in contact before, during and after the move. The rare problem, complaint, or claim is handled quickly and efficiently. What’s more, APM is a proud partner in the TD Make It Right Guarantee!
TrustDale Tip of the Day: CHARCOAL GRILL CARE
* To keep the bottom of a charcoal grill clean and damage proof, pour an even layer of unscented kitty litter in the bottom of the grill. This will insulate the metal bottom from the heat and absorb grease and drippings.
