Altec Customer Testimonial: CA-PAR Electric and Tempest Energy

CA-PAR Electric

CA-PAR Electric, an electrical contractor based in Covington, Louisiana, offers ongoing utility work and storm recovery services to electric utilities, electric co-ops, federal, state and industrial facilities. The company and its business units, Tempest Energy and Tempest Storm Rentals, partner with Altec to make sure their work crews, customers and communities receive the best care and service in the aftermath of destruction from natural disasters.

Stephanie Cain, CA-PAR Electric’s CEO, says Altec equipment helps them work quickly to get jobs done on time and within the budget.

“Altec fills a need for us with the buckets and the diggers primarily,” said Cain. “They help us do our work efficiently and safely – the process with Altec has been very easy.”

Jeffery Seamen, a CA-PAR Electric Crew Lineman, mentioned that having smaller digger trucks helps the crew get into tighter spots to set poles, such as a backyard or an alleyway. From there, they’ll bring in a bucket truck to finish the job and get their customer’s power back on.

Tempest Energy

Tempest Energy, CA-PAR’s storm response and restoration electrical utility division, relies on Altec equipment to help get jobs completed for their customers. The company continues to do business with Altec because of Altec’s quick response to their needs.

Bill Cain, CEO of Tempest Energy, said the quality and effort Altec puts into every aspect of the business gives him the confidence he and his team need to succeed. Thanks to Altec, Cain says they can get in front of clients, work with contractors and help their customers feel they’ve got the support they need to get jobs done.

“That is one thing you can take off the table,” said Cain. “We’re not gonna have to worry about the equipment side of things – Altec’s got it taken care of.”

Mike Zappone, Tempest Energy VP of Sales & Marketing, says having Altec equipment is great for their customers to see; it shows Tempest company is taking their job seriously.

“I can go in with a great deal of confidence that that Altec emblem is on our equipment,” said Zappone. Mike says that his customers know that Tempest is committed to getting the job done right because they’re partnering with Altec.

Altec is committed to helping its customers, no matter what the request, or need, may be – and customers see that.

“The support that I get from the sales staff, from the repair staff, from corporate, from finance – it’s all-encompassing and makes my job easier,” said Joe Boggs, Director of Fleet Operations at Tempest Storm Rentals. “Without them, it just wouldn’t work.”
