  Berkshire County is made up of rolling hills, vast woods, and charming communities. It is the type of place one might imagine when told to visualize small-town America. One thing that makes this area so special is the number of unique businesses it has to offer. These businesses are often times small, family-owned companies that have been around for decades. Here at Henry's Electric, we just so happen to fit this description to a T.

How to Care for Your Refrigerator in the Heat (And Keep It Running Smoothly All Summer) Summer’s here—and while we’re all doing what we can to stay cool, don’t forget that your refrigerator is working overtime too.
