One of the biggest challenges commercial construction project managers face is staying on schedule.

Many factors can cause delays. Some you can’t control, such as weather, fires, natural disasters – you get the idea. Others you can, like which electrical contractor you hire.

With Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC), rest assured your projects will be completed on time – every time. During our 35 years in the industry we have mastered every aspect of the trade in order to provide the best in commercial service.

Aside from on-schedule job completion, here are some qualities you should demand from commercial electricians:

1 Just as important as timely service is highly skilled service gained through extensive training and experience. Although it is certainly not an all-inclusive portfolio, to view some of the outstanding projects our master electricians have completed with great success follow this link, then click on any photo to start a slideshow.

2 Like GHEC, you contractor should be fully licensed, bonded, and insured. You don’t want a major client complaining later of poor wire connections, overloaded circuits, improper grounding, or broken safety elements – with no means of recourse against poor workmanship (an issue you will not experience with us.)

3 It also makes your life much easier when your electric company has a thorough understanding of local building and safety codes. This helps to ensure your project will pass all electrical inspections with flying colors.

4 Other factors to consider in your search should include good word of mouth and the availability of references. You want a company that lets its work speak for itself, while its clients also are happy to brag.

5 Even if you don’t have a project in your immediate future, it’s always a good idea to research contractors to find out about their skills and experience. Or if you already have commercial electricians you use regularly, why not check out other companies like GHEC for comparison to see if you’re getting the most skilled – and timely – service?
