Education facility electrical FAQs.

Quick answers to common questions from school administrators and facility managers about costs, scheduling, and compliance.

01How much does classroom LED lighting cost for a school?

School LED lighting projects typically range from $3,000-$8,000 per classroom depending on fixture count, existing infrastructure, and control requirements. Most schools achieve full ROI within 24-36 months through energy savings, with additional benefits including improved light quality, reduced maintenance, and Title 24 compliance. We provide detailed proposals with utility rebate opportunities.

02Can you schedule electrical work during school breaks?

Absolutely. We specialize in academic calendar-aligned scheduling. Most school electrical work happens during summer break, winter break, spring break, and weekends. For projects that can't wait for a break period, we schedule after-hours work (evenings and weekends) to eliminate any disruption to classrooms and student activities.

03Do you handle DSA and Title 24 compliance?

Yes. We manage the complete compliance process for education facility projects, DSA plan review when required, Title 24 energy calculations, permit applications, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off. Our installations are designed to meet all applicable codes and pass inspections the first time.

04Can you install EV charging stations at our school campus?

Yes. We design and install complete EV charging infrastructure for education campuses, from staff parking areas to student lots and fleet vehicle charging. We handle electrical design, utility coordination, permitting, installation, and rebate applications. Many districts are adding EV charging as part of their sustainability initiatives.

05Do you provide district-wide electrical services?

Yes. We serve school districts across Southern California with consistent, standardized electrical services across all campus locations. You get one dedicated project manager coordinating all your facilities, volume pricing, and streamlined communication, so you're not managing multiple contractors across your district.

06What is UVC air purification and is it safe for schools?

UVC germicidal systems use ultraviolet light to neutralize airborne pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and mold. In-duct UVC systems are installed inside HVAC ductwork where they're completely enclosed and safe, there's zero UV exposure to students or staff. These systems have been used in hospitals for decades and are increasingly adopted by school districts to improve indoor air quality.
