In 2007, Woodstar Energy LLC started as 513 Alert LLC. After some heavy storms that summer and a nasty basement flood I came up with the idea of 513 Alert. Pulling from my background in construction and corporate network security, I worked to create the 513 Alert Sump Pump Sensor and Auto Dialer. Using reliable technologies, it monitors sump pumps and plays a pre-recorded message to 5 phone numbers up to 5 times. Therefore allowing a home owner to receive an alert in the event of a sump pump failure. These are now installed in homes throughout the country giving customers peace of mind that their basement is safe.

Soon after releasing this product, we branched into the complementary markets of battery backup and standby backup generator installation. As an Eagle Scout, I have always been passionate about emergency preparedness and environmental conservation. I really wanted to tie these passions into our business and felt it necessary to change the company to reflect this. That in a nutshell is how Woodstar Energy came to being.

Woodstar Energy is a provider of construction services for home remodeling and renewable energy, catering to residential and commercial customers. We strive to use environmentally friendly practices coupled with energy efficient products as a stand means of operation.
