Why Empire Electric
Both sides of the wall, planned together.
Most projects split the work between an electrician and a separate integrator who shows up after the drywall. We do both, so power, pathways, and programming are designed as a single system before rough-in.
The usual way
Two trades, two schedules
- The electrician wires to code and leaves.
- The integrator arrives later and works around what is already in the wall.
- Rack power, keypad locations, and conduit runs get figured out on site.
- Change orders and patched drywall follow.
With Empire Electric
One team, one plan
- Panel, circuits, and low voltage pathways are designed at the same table.
- Equipment racks, displays, and keypads get dedicated power and backing where they belong.
- The people who pull the wire are the people who program the system.
- One point of contact from walkthrough to handoff.

From walkthrough to handoff
Walkthrough
We walk the site with you, your builder, or your designer and learn how the space will be used.
Design & proposal
Circuits, pathways, equipment, and control are laid out together, with a clear, itemized proposal.
Rough-in
Power, cabling, conduit, and backing go in before the walls close, coordinated with the rest of the trades.
Trim & commissioning
Devices, equipment, and racks are installed, then every system is programmed, tested, and tuned.
Handoff & support
We walk you through everything, label and document the system, and stay a text away afterward.
