In a drive to retain and grow manufacturing in the region, the State of New York has designated a sector in Northern Brooklyn as the Industrial Business Zone (IBZ) – the largest industrial hub in the City. Over 77% of the workers in this area are employed by industrial facilities. The goal over the next two decades is to increase and therefore preserve greater New York City as the thriving industrial center it has been since the early 19th century. While numerous power sources to run these enterprises are always under consideration, the majority of these facilities throughout Brooklyn depend on electricity for their power. Having a dependable source of power, therefore, is key to increasing their profitability and growth. That is the best reason to establish an electrical system maintenance contract with licensed, industrial electrical contractors, such as ACM Electrical Contracting, to keep your industrial facility up and running 24/7/365.
Hiring professional industrial electrician services for your business needs will guarantee that every job is performed correctly. Simply put: a licensed commercial electrician in Brooklyn will have the training, experience, and skill to meet every quality standard. Becoming a licensed electrician in Brooklyn is not a matter of taking an exam. It takes over five years and thousands of additional hours of on-the-job training, before taking that rigorous exam, as it is a profession that sets the bar very high for each of its licensed practitioners. That said, here are additional reasons to only allow licensed industrial electrical contractors to perform any electrical work at your Brooklyn facility:
- A licensed commercial electrician in Brooklyn will have the correct training and experience. To recap, 5.5 years and over 7.700 hours of experience under the close supervision of a licensed electrical contractor are required as well as passing a State exam. Ongoing education is also a requirement to maintain their license, as safety requirements are updated over time.
- Licensed industrial electrical contractors know how to keep your business safe from electricity-related risks. Industrial electricians are skilled in operating the machinery and tools of our trade to troubleshoot your facility’s power system, and to follow recommended as well as mandated safety precautions when working in an industrial facility. They are highly experienced in working with the intricate electrical systems that power your machinery, lights, and office equipment and can identify potential hazards before these become an issue, or cause a catastrophic event such as a fire.
- Regularly scheduled maintenance of your electrical systems and equipment by a licensed commercial electrician in Brooklyn will not only keep your business up to code but prevent future fines, penalties, and State-mandated work stoppages due to non-compliance with current regulations you may not have been aware of.
