The Exact Electric team rewired Red Maple Apartments (knob & tube to modern). We brought their electrical system into the 21st century, even adding power to 3 new basement units. Scheduling around tenants was a juggling act, but everyone worked together to make it a smooth move.

Exact Electric undertook a comprehensive electrical modernization of Red Maple Apartments. We meticulously replaced the outdated knob-and-tube wiring system with a safe and efficient 21st-century solution. This significant upgrade not only ensured the electrical safety of the building but also paved the way for increased functionality by adding power to three brand new basement units. While scheduling the rewiring around existing tenants presented a logistical challenge, our team collaborated effectively with the owner to minimize disruption. This open communication and cooperative spirit ensured a smooth transition for all residents.
Electrical Scope
A complete electrical overhaul was needed for Red Maple Apartments. Our team created detailed electrical plans, including load calculations, floor plans, elevation plans, and site plans. This comprehensive approach ensured a smooth transition away from the building’s outdated knob-and-tube wiring system.
Successes
Prioritizing tenant comfort, Exact Electric implemented respectful work hours and strategically scheduled power outages. Effective communication throughout the project was paramount to its success.
Challenges
The project encountered challenges, particularly with the existing electrical system. The team had to decipher the work done by previous technicians and adapt it to the current plans.
