Electrical service equipment documented during a building inspection
Existing electrical service

Electrical design begins with demand, service capacity and the equipment being connected.

New uses, kitchens, mechanical equipment and alterations can change both distribution and available capacity.

Kernel coordinates the electrical design with the architectural layout, mechanical loads and permit requirements that apply to the project.

Selected projects.

Examples of the conditions, design decisions and field reviews involved in this service.
