Repairs, scheduled maintenance and small upgrades that keep occupied public buildings running, with emergency calls taken 24/7.
Government Service is one of our six divisions. It handles the day-to-day electrical work at buildings that stay open while we work on them: offices, parks and recreation sites, public-works yards, clinics and hospitals. Our experience includes VA hospital work at the Bay Pines VA hospital in Bay Pines, FL, and the James A. Haley VA facility in Tampa, as well as municipal and federal projects. We’re ready to support military and Department of Defense facilities. Building something new or gutting a floor? That’s our Government Construction division.

Working in buildings that stay open
Most government service calls happen while staff and the public are inside. Before we shut anything off, we walk the affected circuits with your facility manager, agree on a shutdown window, and put disruptive work on nights or weekends when daytime power can’t be lost. We follow the site’s check-in, badging and escort rules. When we leave, you get a written note of what we found, what we fixed and anything still open, so the next work order starts from facts.
