Commercial electricians inspect electrical systems, equipment, and components to identify hazards, defects, and the need for adjustment or repair, and to ensure compliance with codes. They can diagnose malfunctioning systems, apparatus, and components, using test equipment and hand tools, to locate the cause of a breakdown and correct the problem.

Did you know that the first transmission of electrical impulses sent over an extended distance was demonstrated in 1729? Physicist Stephen Gray used damp hemp cords suspended by silk threads to transmit the electricity.

Making sure that your parking lot, outdoor mall, or drive-through is lit needs a lot of powerful lighting. What’s more, the wires providing that power have to be thoroughly protected from the weather. A commercial electrician will be able to make sure you can count on your outdoor lights.

If you are considering upgrading your commercial building’s current electrical system, you have plenty of options. This might include everything from retrofitting lighting to adding sensors to upgrading wiring and other electrical parts for more efficient operations.

The insulators we use are determined by the application. Large tower transmission lines require using modular suspension insulators, while other delivery systems require using porcelain or other appropriate materials.

When the cooks of a restaurant need to cook meals, they don’t have time to wonder whether or not their appliances are going to work. The power demands of these appliances can be enormous, but a commercial electrician will make sure you always have enough.

During ancient times, there were a few scholars who worked with electricity, but not like what contractors work with today. Ancient scholars mostly worked with static electricity, such as rubbing an amber rod against a cat's fur to attract light objects like feathers.

When insulators fail on power lines, this can result in a collapse of voltage and the passage of current, which is called a disruptive discharge. Proper maintenance of power lines is essential in order to mitigate and prevent these and other issues.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt wireless computer and phone connections, causing static and noise on the line. Damaged wiring, improper connections, or poorly shielded wiring may be producing electrical interferences and current imbalances.

While your parking structure may be bright and safe during the day, it can take on a sinister appearance as the sun begins setting. Rest assured that we’re always available to help you add the lighting you need to create a safe atmosphere.

Are your cordless phones and WiFi Internet connections noisy, filled with static, or acting up? It’s possible you’re dealing with EMI, or electromagnetic interference. In commercial settings, fluorescent lighting without proper electronic shielding is one of the most common sources for EMI issues.

While your home’s electrical system may technically be up to code, the electrical systems in older homes simply weren’t designed to handle the strain of the modern lifestyle. If your family demands more simultaneous power than your home can provide, we’re always happy to help with an upgrade.

For homes with air conditioning, that single improvement accounts for a major chunk of the summer electric bill. Today, over 55 percent of U.S. homes are outfitted with air conditioners. Back in the1980s, that figure was around 27 percent.
