How It Works

From First Visit to Final Inspection

Typical job: Varies by scope.

  1. Load Analysis & Planning

    We inventory all existing and planned equipment: motors, HVAC systems, machinery, computers, and lighting. Using NEC load calculations, we determine total connected load, demand factors, and required service capacity to ensure your system handles current needs plus future growth.

  2. Distribution System Design

    Our engineers design the complete power distribution system: main service entrance, distribution panels, sub-panels, and branch circuits. We plan for balanced loads across phases, appropriate wire sizing, and code-compliant installation methods.

  3. Utility Coordination

    For new services or upgrades, we coordinate directly with Ameren. This includes submitting service applications, scheduling transformer installations, and ensuring their requirements align with your project timeline. We attend the utility site meeting on your behalf.

  4. Permit & Engineering Submittal

    We prepare permit applications with one-line diagrams, load calculations, and panel schedules. For larger installations, we coordinate with your engineer of record or provide PE-stamped drawings as required by the jurisdiction.

  5. Equipment Procurement

    We order switchgear, panels, transformers, and wire from commercial electrical distributors. For custom equipment (paralleling switchgear, specialty panels, or long-lead items), we coordinate directly with manufacturers on specifications and delivery.

  6. Infrastructure Installation

    Our crews install conduit runs, cable trays, and wire pulls according to the engineered drawings. For three-phase systems, we use proper color coding and phase rotation. All connections are torqued to manufacturer specifications and documented.

  7. Panel Termination & Labeling

    We terminate all feeders and branch circuits at panels, install breakers, and create accurate panel schedules. Every circuit is labeled at the panel and at the device for easy identification during maintenance or troubleshooting.

  8. Testing & Commissioning

    Before energizing, we perform insulation resistance testing on all feeders and verify proper phase rotation. After power-up, we test each circuit, verify voltage at all points, and check for proper grounding. You receive complete documentation including as-builts and test reports.

“Great experience with FIrst Choice Electric. Had a circuit problem with loss of power in one area and also needed replacement of 30+ year old hard-wired smoke detectors (with high ceiling). Responded to my online request quickly. Came out the next day. Sam (electrician) and Brody (apprentice) were both outstanding. Professional, personable, and efficient. Very reasonable price too.”

Do you work with manufacturing equipment?

Yes. We install power for CNC machines, compressors, welders, and other industrial equipment.

What about temporary power?

Yes. We can set up temporary power for construction, events, or equipment testing.

How do you minimize downtime?

We plan carefully, work after hours when needed, and coordinate shutdowns to minimize impact.
