We physically interlock your main breaker pane grid connection, allowing you to feed portable generator power safely back into your home circuit grid without risking dangerous grid back-feeding.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems: Setting up heavy-duty UPS battery banks and generator backup networks for critical data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing plants.
Commercial Electrical Services
Power Distribution Systems: Designing and installing switchboards, sub-panels, dry-type transformers, and main service feeds tailored for office buildings, retail, and hospitality spaces.
Tenant Build-Outs & Remodels: Custom electrical modifications, drop-ceiling lighting, and floor-box power routing for new commercial tenants.
Emergency & Exit Lighting: Installing and testing code-compliant exit signage, battery-backup emergency lights, and emergency path-of-egress illumination.
Year testing Emergency & Exit Lighting to make sure they are still working.
Low-Voltage & Structured Cabling: Wiring for data networks (Cat6/Fiber), VoIP phone systems, security cameras, access control, and commercial A/V setups.
Energy-Efficient Retrofits: Converting legacy fluorescent or HID lighting to commercial LED systems paired with daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors.
Diagnostics, Safety & Maintenance
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repairs: Identifying and resolving short circuits, recurring breaker trips, open neutrals, and dangerous ground faults.
Thermal Imaging & Preventative Maintenance: Utilizing infrared thermography to scan electrical panels and switchgear to identify overheating components before equipment failure occurs.
Code Compliance & Safety Audits: Inspecting existing systems to identify National Electrical Code (NEC) violations, ungrounded circuits, or overloaded panels, then bringing them up to current safety standards.
Whole-House Surge Suppression: Installing heavy-duty, commercial-grade surge protection devices (SPDs) and advanced grounding/bonding networks directly at the main breaker to shield your home’s sensitive automation processors, appliances, and electronics from utility grid spikes, power disruptions.
Point-of-Use Appliance Protection: We install high-performance surge suppression modules tailored to your most sensitive and expensive hardware. This includes dedicated, precision-clamping protection for high-value HVAC compressors and AC control boards, which are highly vulnerable in lightning-prone coastal climates, as well as specialized filtering for critical networking servers, smart home hubs, and data racks, ensuring your digital infrastructure remains stable during utility fluctuations.
Marine and dock electrical installations
Marine and dock electrical installations require specialized materials and strict compliance with national safety codes (such as NEC Article 555) due to the extreme hazards of combining water, electricity, and metal structures.
Safety & Core Power Supply
ELCI & GFCI Protection: Installing Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters (ELCIs) at the shore power source and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) on all dock outlets to prevent Electric Shock Drowning (ESD)—a fatal hazard caused by stray electrical currents leaking into the water.
Marine-Grade Sub-Panels: Mounting weatherproof, corrosion-resistant NEMA 4X distribution panels on the dock fed by underground/underwater conduit lines from the main property panel.
Corrosion Hardening: Utilizing stainless steel hardware, PVC-coated rigid conduit, and heat-shrink sealed connections to withstand saltwater spray, UV exposure, and moisture.
Boat Lift Power & Controls
Dedicated High-Torque Circuits: Sizing and running 120V or 240V dedicated lines (typically 20A to 50A) to power single or multi-motor boat lifts ranging from 3,000 lb jet ski lifts to 30,000+ lb cruiser lifts.
Automated & Remote Control Systems: Wiring wireless control boxes (such as GEM remotes) that allow boaters to raise, lower, and stop the lift via key fob or smartphone app.
Limit Switches & Auto-Stop Wiring: Installing adjustable auto-stop limit switches to prevent lift motors from over-winding cables, burning out, or dropping the boat too low.
Dock & Pathway Lighting
Piling & Post Cap Lights: Installing low-voltage or line-voltage LED cap lights on pilings to clearly outline the perimeter of the dock for night navigation and foot traffic safety.
Deck & Step Accent Lighting: Recessed LED step lights and under-rail strip lighting that illuminate walking surfaces without casting blinding glare onto the water or into a captain's line of sight.
Navigational Signaling: Wiring code-compliant red/green navigational lights or flashing solar/wired beacons on extended deep-water piers to warn passing watercraft.
Specialized Fishing Lighting
Underwater Attractant Lights: Installing high-lumen, submersible green or blue LED lights mounted to deep pilings or weighted on the seabed. Green light wavelengths effectively penetrate water to attract plankton, baitfish, and predatory game fish (such as snook, tarpon, bass, and trout).
Overhead Night-Fishing Floodlights: Mounting high-output, wide-angle LED floodlights high on pilings or structural posts. These are often fitted with warm/amber filters or bug-resistant wavelengths to minimize insect attraction over the dock.
Automated Lighting Controls: Integrating photocells, digital timers, or smart home controllers to automatically turn fishing lights on at dusk and switch them off late at night to conserve power and extend bulb life.
Shore Power Pedestals & Utility Integration
Marine Power Pedestals: Installing integrated power pedestals featuring 30A or 50A twist-lock shore power receptacles for charging boat batteries and running onboard AC/appliances while docked.
Utility Combos: Combining electrical outlets, fresh water spigots, hose holders, and built-in top-lighting into unified, dock-mounted aluminum or fiberglass pedestals.
Hurricane Services
Before and after a major storm, electrical contractors shift from routine installation to specialized storm prep, grid hardening, emergency power deployment, and post-flood safety restoration.
Pre-Hurricane Services (Preparation & Hardening)
Standby Generator Installation & Servicing: Sizing, installing, and testing whole-home or commercial standby generators, including checking automatic transfer switches (ATS) and fuel systems to ensure immediate power takeover during a grid collapse.
Generator Interlocks & Transfer Switches: Installing manual transfer switches or interlock kits so property owners can safely connect portable generators without backfeeding electricity into the utility grid, which poses a fatal hazard to utility line workers.
Whole-Building Surge Protection: Mounting primary Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) directly to main electrical panels to shield HVAC compressors, appliances, and electronics from severe lightning strikes and power-restoration voltage spikes.
Electrical Hardening & Elevating: Raising low-lying breaker panels, sub-panels, and HVAC disconnects above projected flood levels, and replacing standard exterior boxes with weatherproof NEMA 4X or marine-grade enclosures.
Pre-Storm Safety Audits: Inspecting service masts, grounding networks, meter bases, and outdoor disconnects to repair loose or corroded fittings that high-velocity winds could rip off the structure.
Post-Hurricane Services (Recovery & Restoration)
Water Damage & Safety Inspections: Performing moisture and insulation testing on panels, breakers, outlets, and conduits exposed to storm surges or roof leaks. Saturated equipment must be evaluated before re-energizing to prevent arc flashes or hidden electrical fires.
Service Mast & Weatherhead Repairs: Repairing or replacing the conduit pipe (service mast), meter socket, or structural attachment point torn away from the building by downed tree limbs. Utilities usually require this to be repaired by a private contractor before they reconnect power from the street.
Utility Reconnection Clearances & Permits: Issuing formal safety certifications and securing municipal permits to confirm to the local power utility that the building’s internal system is safe to be re-energized.
Temporary Emergency Power Setup: Hardwiring large-scale, high-tonnage temporary diesel generators to critical commercial facilities (such as grocery stores, gas stations, medical facilities, and water pumps) while the main grid remains dark.
Panel Rebuilds & Rewiring: Replacing salt-corroded or shorted breaker panels, compromised ground-fault interrupters (GFCIs), damaged sub-panels, and ruined underground feeder lines.
Utility Mutual Aid & Line Repair: High-voltage utility contractors deploy line-crew fleets to reset fallen utility poles, clear vegetation, repair distribution lines, and rebuild damaged substations alongside local power companies.
