Commercial Services

Is it possible for your commercial electricians to provide maintenance for light poles in municipal or facility settings?

The C.A. Electric team possesses the required equipment to service different types of light poles. With the use of lifts, they can reach light poles with varying heights. Furthermore, they can troubleshoot issues with your current light pole infrastructure, replace faulty bulbs, and make necessary adjustments to these fixtures.

Between LED and traditional lighting, which one is a better option for a facility?

Lighting solutions have evolved significantly in recent decades. Fluorescent lighting was a popular choice for commercial facilities but had its drawbacks, such as high energy usage and frequent bulb replacements. LED lighting has become a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative for both residential and commercial setups. It’s a recommended upgrade for commercial electric customers due to its many benefits over traditional lighting.

When do commercial electricians typically join new build projects?

C.A. Electric is there for you right from the start of your build project. They will be on-site to set up temporary electric service, coordinate with other service technicians, and lay out subterranean electrical pipe runs. After the drywall and paint work is done, they will return to hang lighting fixtures, install necessary devices, and cover installations throughout your facility.

Residential Services

How often should I replace my smoke detectors?

It is recommended to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once a year, and ideally every six months. A helpful tip is to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and HVAC filters simultaneously.

Do you help with emergency or after-hours work?

We’re always willing to work after hours if there is a need to work outside of our usual operating hours. Contact us in advance for these unusual situations.
