Homeward Bound – San Rafael

Scope of Work: A comprehensive electrical upgrade was successfully carried out over a span of three months at Homeward Bound in San Rafael, CA. The existing fuse panel was replaced with a new breaker panel, enhancing the safety and efficiency of the electrical system. The new circuit breaker panel was relocated to a centralized common area, in accordance with current code requirements, making it more accessible for maintenance and inspection. A dedicated circuit was added to each of the residential units, enhancing the electrical capacity and safety of each unit. Commercial grade receptacles were installed throughout the residential areas, for both convenience and code compliance, ensuring that residents had ample access to electricity while also adhering to safety regulations, improving the overall electrical infrastructure of the building. Furthermore, additional labor and materials were utilized to install one light in the center of each ceiling in the 22 residential units. This included the set-up, installation, and testing of the lighting fixtures, ensuring that each unit had adequate and safe lighting. Due to the condition of the original wiring, additional work and materials were required to run conduit and wire down the hallways. In the laundry facility area, G.F.C.I. receptacles were installed as per code, providing a safer environment for the use of electrical appliances. New metallic cover plates were installed where necessary, and cover plates and splices were repaired where required by code under the building. This work not only improved the aesthetics of the electrical outlets but also ensured that they met all safety standards. In conclusion, the extensive electrical work carried out over the past three months has significantly improved the safety, efficiency, and convenience of the electrical systems at Homeward Bound.
