Neary Tech, a family-owned and operated electrical contractor in Philadelphia, PA, specializes in new construction electrical services. With over a decade of experience, they ensure all electrical components are installed safely and up to code, adhering to finalized designs or offering expert suggestions as needed. When building a new home or commercial property, one of the most critical aspects of construction is the electrical system. New construction electrical services involve planning, installing, and ensuring the functionality of wiring, outlets, lighting, and electrical panels. A properly designed and installed system guarantees safety, efficiency, and future scalability.
Planning & Design
Before any electrical work begins, a well-thought-out plan is essential. Electricians work with architects, general contractors, and property owners to design a system that meets local building codes, energy efficiency standards, and the specific needs of the project. This phase includes:
– Determining the electrical load requirements
– Mapping out circuit locations
– Planning for future expansions or smart home integration
– Ensuring compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations
During this stage, considerations for special electrical needs—such as home automation, EV chargers, or advanced security systems, are also factored in.
Installation Process
Once planning is complete, electricians begin the installation. This process is typically divided into two phases:
1) Rough-in Electrical Work – Before drywall or insulation is installed, electricians run all necessary wiring, install electrical boxes for outlets and switches, and set up the main service panel. This stage ensures that the infrastructure is in place before the walls are sealed.
2) Final Electrical Work – After the walls are finished, electricians install switches, outlets, lighting fixtures, and the circuit breaker panel. They also test the system to confirm everything functions safely and efficiently.
Proper installation ensures that the property has a stable power supply, preventing issues like circuit overloads or inefficient energy distribution.
Safety & Compliance
One of the most crucial aspects of new construction electrical services is ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Licensed electricians follow stringent guidelines to reduce risks like electrical fires or shocks. Electrical inspections are performed at different stages of construction to verify that all work meets code. Additionally, modern electrical installations often incorporate safety features such as:
– Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas
– Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) to prevent electrical fires
– Surge protection for sensitive electronics and appliances
Energy Efficiency & Smart Technology
Today’s electrical installations focus on energy efficiency and smart technology integration. LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and automated home systems help reduce power consumption while enhancing convenience. Features like programmable lighting, smart thermostats, and solar panel integration can provide long-term cost savings.
