Whole House Generators
We installed a full house generator in Hillsborough county, and are scheduled to install another one in the same neighborhood next week.
Installing a whole house generator is a smart investment for homeowners seeking uninterrupted power during outages. These systems are designed to automatically supply electricity to your entire home when the main power source fails, ensuring that essential appliances, lighting, heating, and medical equipment continue to operate without interruption.
The installation process begins with selecting the right generator size based on your home’s power needs. A licensed electrician or installer will assess your energy usage to recommend a unit that can handle your essential systems. Next, the generator is typically placed outside the home on a concrete pad, similar to an air conditioning unit. It is then connected to your home’s electrical panel and fueled by natural gas, propane, or diesel.
A transfer switch is installed to safely switch your home’s power source from the utility to the generator. This switch detects outages and activates the generator within seconds, providing a seamless transition.
Permits may be required, and local building codes must be followed, so professional installation is crucial. Once installed, routine maintenance—such as oil changes and system checks—ensures reliable performance. With a whole house generator, you gain peace of mind knowing your home will remain powered and comfortable in any emergency.
Wiring for a medical clinic
We have just finished wiring a new 11 patient room clinic, so we are still wiring medical facilities, and expanding in that area.
Installing wiring in a medical clinic requires precision, safety, and compliance with healthcare regulations. Electrical systems in clinics must support specialized equipment, lighting, HVAC, data networks, and emergency systems. The process starts with a detailed electrical plan based on the clinic’s layout and specific needs, including patient rooms, labs, and administrative areas.
Licensed electricians install dedicated circuits for high-demand devices like imaging equipment, autoclaves, and examination tables. Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and isolated ground systems are used in areas with patient contact to prevent electrical shocks. Backup power systems, such as generators or battery backups, are also integrated to ensure uninterrupted care during outages.
All wiring must adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes, with special consideration for healthcare standards such as those outlined by the NFPA 99. Proper labeling, testing, and inspection ensure the system is safe, efficient, and ready for continuous use in a medical setting.
