We had to provide a new load calculation for the 7 unit building the owner installed electric water heaters and A/C for each unit.. The load calculation came out to 650 Amps the building was running on 200 amps up till the point of adding the additional water heater and A/C units. The issue with the relocation was because the new equipment would not fit in the old location. We had to install a trough in the old panel location and run pipes circuits from each apartment unit to the new circuit breaker panels.

This is a custom home I built for a friend. The client lived in a small old wood frame home that had a low ceiling in the basement and would have been very costly to renovate. We suggested building new due to the requirements of the renovations. Higher ceiling in basement for the future family room. So we knocked down there existing home and built this 4500 SF custom home. We installed custom cabinets throughout with mahogany veneer hardwood floors. The master suite with walk in shower and custom whirlpool tub in custom deck. Radiant floor heat installed under the tile floor in the master bath. walk down the central hall to find the pocket doors which enter the dinning room which is separated by a 2sided fireplace from the living room. A wide central staircase rises open from the basement to the second floor.
