Extremely time sensitive project, all electrical upgrades were completed within 92 days. Work for EACH of the (266) OCCUPIED apartments included adding new panel boards, additional branch circuits with GFCI protection for the kitchen counter, new branch circuits containing Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) in the bedrooms, addition of new light fixtures and 3-way light switches, addition of interconnected smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and complete replacement of all existing light fixtures, switches and convenience receptacles.
