The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) is the voice of the $225 billion electrical construction industry that brings power, light and communication technology to buildings and communities across the U.S. NECA traces its origins to the birth of modern electricity. In 1901, a group of electrical contractors met at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, where a major display of electric power had been installed. These contractors joined together to foster trade and reform abuses within their fledgling industry. Today, NECA continues their work, building on a legacy of protecting the public and making innovation possible. Members Electrical contractors perform specialized construction work related to the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems. Whether high-voltage power transmission or low-voltage lighting, electrical contractors ensure these systems work in a safe, effective, and environmentally-sound manner. NECA represents a diverse group of nearly 4,000 member companies account for approximately 300 million manhours per year. They are comprised of electrical contractors from firms of all sizes performing a range of services. While most NECA contractors qualify as small businesses, many large, multinational companies are also members of the association. Organization NECA’s national office in Washington, D.C., four regional offices, and 118 local chapters across the country work to advance the electrical contracting industry through advocacy, education, research, and standards development. NECA chapters are independently chartered organizations who work with national field representatives to develop effective labor agreements and market initiatives.

Your electrical system is much like getting your car routinely inspected and oil changed. Preventative electrical maintenance ensures that your entire system will last longer, so you avoid costly overhauls. Follow Electrical Safety Foundation International to learn more electrical safety tips & regulations! #WeAreNECA
By investing in preventative maintenance for your building and upgrading to newer electrical systems, you can help reduce your total operation cost while also improving your environmental, social, and corporate governance. Over a 30-year period, maintenance and operations costs of a building account for 98% of the total cost, while the initial design and construction account for only 2%: https://lnkd.in/eA-4bJUV

This #MemberMonday, we are highlighting CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. for their spectacular work as the engineers of the citizenM hotels Downtown Los Angeles, the tallest modular building in California to date! The project featured the assembly of prefabricated rooms, which were hoisted and stacked using a crane, similar to stacking Legos. This technique dramatically reduced the project's timeline. Beyond crafting the guest rooms, CSI took charge of the electrical design for the community areas, covering the first and second floors, the rooftop, guest room corridors, and utility rooms. CSI Electrical Contractors is a proud member of Los Angeles County Chapter NECA!
