2024 marked 43 successful years in business for Drayer Electrical Service (DES).
DES has been busy servicing industrial and commercial customers by troubleshooting and performing maintenance on conveyors, lathes, mills and various machinery and equipment. They realize down time is costly to businesses, so they answer emergency calls quickly to keep assembly lines moving.
One major project last year was the remodel of one of the largest churches in Franklin. It required relocating the main electric service and coordinating with Penelec to accommodate the demolition of part of the building. They also installed power to new heat and air conditioning units throughout the building.
LED prices have been dropping, so upgrading old lighting is still a constant request on shop floors and retail spaces. They also have their own boom lift for upgrading parking lot pole lights to LED’s.
Homeowners have been requesting upgrades to main service panels for increased loads due to EV chargers and air conditioners. Many insurance companies now require the replacement of old fuse panels to continue policies with fire coverage, therefore realtors encourage upgrades to people buying or selling homes.
Due to the threat of more frequent power outages, they’ve seen a significant increase in demand for whole house generators and receptacles with breaker interlocks for portable generators. They supplied and installed many Kohler brand generators, but also repaired and performed annual maintenance on many other brands last year.
As always, DES continues to offer a professional service with parts and labor warranties, using only commercial grade materials purchased locally when possible. In most circumstances, they provide free estimates and strive to offer their best recommendations and options to get the job done in the most efficient and cost effective way.
