WHy go with an Electrician and just a handyman?

We have immense respect for our brother and sister contractors who work as handymen and women. They are Jacks and Jills of all trades and the best among them innovate problem solvers who pay attention to the details of a costumer's needs. There is much that we have learned from handymen when trust and have worked with in the past about flexibility and improvisation. That said there are limits to what even the best handyman can do, especially when it comes to electrical work. There are several dimensions to these limitations.

​One is ability. The average handyman simply has not had the requisite training and experience to to do most kinds of electrical work. What's worse is, a layperson, who a handyman not familiar with electrical is, regardless of their talents in any of the other building trades, does not know what they do not know.  They aren't even in a position to identify many problems let alone solve them. Another limitation are licensure and insurance. Here in New Jersey any contractor who does electrical work must be licensed to do that work specifically (if you're looking for our licensure information, give us a call and we're happy to oblige). And as a condition of that licensure, they must also have general liability insurance. So if a handyman doesn't have this minimum requirement, just hire a professional like us to do the electrical work, it's not worth the risk otherwise.

cOMMERCIAL

 Williamstown Electric provides commercial electrical services to customers in Williamstown and Monroe township and surrounding areas. We understand that commercial property owners generally have more complex needs than residential homeowners. We provide electrical services for commercial properties such as schools, office buildings, beauty salons, spa's, healthcare facilities, hotels, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, strip malls, and offices among others. We've helped many businesses over the years and may be able to help you too.

Some of the most common services we provide for commercial properties include services related to the proper voltage, generator installation, emergency services, underground electrical services, transformer installation, repair and maintenance, overhead electrical services.

One of the principles of our company is customer education and consultation. We feel if customers know why we're doing what we're doing and why we consider it the best approach for their situation, they will have the best experience overall. This is true for us on the commercial side just as it is on the residential side of the business. 

Take voltage services for example. It is important to understand the optimal voltage for your commercial equipment in order to protect it from  damage and destruction and  keep it running.  What's more, the wrong voltage to devices and equipment can be a safety hazard. Different equipment and and devices sometime require different kinds of outlets and power supplies. With choosing the right voltage for your circumstance comes integrating that solution into the rest of your electrical system, with components that could include transformers, switchgears, etc. The experts at Williamstown Electric will advise you on the right choice.

Another example are electrical emergencies. For a commercial property, especially a business, electrical emergencies are not only inconvenient and detrimental to business, but can also be hazardous to customers and staff alike. We  understand that even with proper maintenance and regular service, sometime emergencies cannot be avoided. We understand the complexity electrical emergencies at commercial properties can bring, and we respond expeditiously to assess and remediate the issue.  

On the issue of preventing emergencies, one strategy is a generator installation for commercial property. Especially in our area where it seems storms are increasingly frequent and powerful with every passing year, installing a generator can be a good decision to make for times when grid power is lost for an extended period. 

lIGHTING

Whether it's commercial lighting for a school, business, industrial building or for a home or other property, we at Williamstown Electric are experienced in helping you choose the right solution for your application.

If the electrical system is a building's nervous system, lighting may be the most basic aspect of the system from the user's perspective. Just as when you plug a device or appliance into an outlet you expect it to run, when you flip a switch, press a button or turn a knob, you expect the light to come on. You expect that light to be the right intensity, in the right place with the right efficiency and longevity. We want the same think in our homes and business, and we're here to advise you and execute your plans.

For residential properties, we can help homeowners improve the lighting inside and outside their home by advising on garden lights, garage lighting, controls and sensors, LED lighting, low voltage lighting, under cabinet lighting, accent lighting, chandeliers, sconces, pendant lighting, and recess lighting among other kinds of lighting. Of course we also install, maintain and repair these kinds of lighting and any other lighting a homeowner may need. 

Of relevance for both residential and commercial customers, LED lighting has become more and more popular over recent years. LED lighting is advantageous to homeowners and business owners for three significant reasons, longevity, energy efficiency and as a result lifetime cost. Some LED bulbs can last up to 50,00 hours, while traditional bulbs last around 1,000 hours. Additionally, LED bulbs emit less heat than traditional bulbs and are often a good choice for applications that require brighter light. If you are interested in LED lighting, we can advise you on the best installation for your needs and carry it out.

We recognize that with any project you undertake, you want it to be completed on time, on budget and with quality workmanship. With commercial and residential lighting there's no exception to those those expectations.
