New Construction: Installing the complete electrical framework (“rough-in”) in new buildings, including wiring, conduits, circuit breaker panels, outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures.
System Upgrades: Replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern circuit breaker panels, upgrading service entrances to handle higher amperage (e.g., from 100A to 200A), and rewiring old buildings with aluminum or degraded wiring.
Specialized Installations: Setting up dedicated circuits for major appliances (ranges, dryers), installing EV charging stations, home automation systems, backup generators, and solar PV system integration.

2. Maintenance & Repair

Troubleshooting: Diagnosing the root cause of electrical failures, such as power outages, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or faulty outlets.
Component Repair/Replacement: Fixing or replacing defective circuit breakers, switches, outlets, lighting ballasts, motors, and transformers.
Preventive Maintenance: Performing safety inspections, thermal imaging scans to detect hot spots, and testing Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs).

3. Safety & Compliance

Code Adherence: Ensuring all work complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local and state regulations.
Safety Protocols: Implementing lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and following strict safety standards to prevent electrocution, fires, and arc flashes.
Inspections: Preparing work for official inspection by municipal authorities to obtain permits and certificates of occupancy.

4. Planning & Design

Reading Blueprints: Interpreting architectural and engineering plans to determine the layout of wiring and equipment.
Load Calculations: Calculating electrical load requirements to ensure the system is properly sized and balanced.
System Design: Planning efficient and cost-effective electrical layouts for lighting, power, data, and security systems.
