Since we are talking about electrical components and equipment, here’s a quick reminder that HOLT takes everyone’s safety very, very seriously. We deal mostly with trade professionals, but it bears repeating that failing to follow the right precautions when you’re working with electrical components can cause both injury and death.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and wear all appropriate safety gear (a HOLT expert can tell you what you need there, too). If you’re trying DIY projects yourself, always verify what permits your municipality requires, and follow all codes for both commercial and residential safety.
We don’t build. That’s your job. We make sure that we have everything the electrical tradesperson needs to get that job done. The team at HOLT is always figuring out new ways to make your work go smoothly, especially when it comes to your budgets and timelines.
