B Informed

Design Build, it’s a trend that is becoming more common in the Electrical Industry. Even when an architect provides an electrical plan it is going to be subject to changes on the fly. Now don’t misunderstand, one of the great pleasures in our industry is working with an architect who has a vision and helping both the architect and customer see the results of their imaginations.

However, with the tightened economy occasionally a customer chooses not to have an electrical plan drawn up. That’s where it helps to have an experienced Electrical Contractor with 23 years of service in every aspect of the electrical field to work with. Design build has been a part of our business model since we started out in business, and we’ve only begun to scratch the surface.

With our security division B Secure we can also design any manner of security system a customer might imagine. And designing the infrastructure for the necessary low voltage cabling is an area where another electrical contractor might recoil, we have the tools necessary to install Category 5e, Category 6, or Fiber Optic Cabling and provide testing for connectivity.

An area where we expect to see expansion is the home theater arena. With the training and skill to install a technical oasis in your living room, basement, man cave, bedroom etc, you can feel like a rock star on the latest episode of Cribs without having 15 cars in the garage.

Everything at this point is Design Build when it comes to Alternative Energy Solutions.  From specifying what model of wind turbine would best suit your needs, to deciding how many kilowatts of production you will be getting from a solar panel array.  Working with the engineers, manufacturers, architects, utilities, and local authorities can be troublesome for the  customer.  When deciding if home generation is an avenue you would like to consider it is always best begin by asking a company with experience.

Design Build is a personal experience for both the customer and the contractor. Be sure to choose a contractor you enjoy dealing with, who explains what they can do for you and how they plan on achieving your goals.

Yes, we’re electrical contractors. We’re the guys you call when your plugs don’t seem to be working right, or your going to be renovating a room. But we’re also the company you call when you’re paying too much for Security System Monitoring. At $14.50 per month for a UL listed monitoring station you can save sometimes up to $300 per year. What could you do with $300 per year? If you have a security system, or know someone who does, and they don’t have B Secure monitoring, have them give us a call. We’d love to discuss their options with them.

Wondering if we can monitor the system you have? Of course we can, however in some instances we may suggest that you upgrade or replace your system because what was relevant when you had it installed 5 years ago may not still apply.

We’d love to hear from you, lets see if we can’t save you some money!

Thanks to new advances in wireless security systems and cellular monitoring we can now protect your cabin even if you winterize it and don’t have a phone line.
