Services
Generator Installation
We specialize in automatic standby generator installations for residential and commercial properties. Our certified technicians handle complete system design, permitting, and installation with brands like Kohler. Systems include wireless monitoring capabilities and automatic transfer switches that activate during power outages. Installations use clean-burning natural gas or propane fuel sources with weatherproof enclosures. We provide comprehensive maintenance plans and emergency service for installed systems.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
We upgrade outdated fuse panels to modern circuit breaker systems meeting current safety codes. Our work includes installation of ground-fault and arc-fault circuit breakers for enhanced protection. We handle complete panel replacement with proper permitting and inspection coordination. Upgrades increase electrical capacity for modern appliances and EV charging stations while eliminating fire hazards from outdated systems.
Surge Protection
Our two-stage surge protection systems defend against voltage spikes from internal and external sources. We install primary protection at service entrance points and secondary protection for sensitive electronics. Systems protect against lightning strikes, utility switching, and equipment-generated surges that damage appliances and electronics worth thousands of dollars.
EV Charging Stations
We supply and install Level 2 EV charging stations for residential and commercial properties. Our certified electricians handle 240V circuit installations that reduce charging time to 4 hours. We coordinate with utility providers for off-peak rate optimization and ensure proper grounding and safety compliance. Systems work with all major EV brands including Tesla, Chevrolet, and Ford.
Surveillance Systems
We design and install complete video surveillance systems with HD IP cameras and network video recorders. Our solutions include motion-activated cameras, remote access via smartphone apps, and scalable systems from 4 to 16 channels. We provide professional consultation for optimal camera placement and storage duration based on client needs.
