Electrical Industry Articles and Stories

Back when we renovated the house, one of the top priorities was upgrading the electrical system. The house was built back in the 60s, and the electrical system was a mess, to say the least. Well, maybe not a total mess, but definitely outdated.

In a world where electrical efficiency and streamlined design are of primary concern, the mini power center is quickly becoming a staple piece of equipment for electricians, general contractors, and electrical industry experts. It's small, it's powerful, and it's reshaping the way we manage electricity, on the jobsite and in the facilities we serve.
