Yes. As a full-service electrical contractor, Tomco Electric can manage both the power and low-voltage scope under a single contract — one point of contact, less coordination overhead, and a cleaner installation from start to finish.

Yes. While new construction is a core part of our work, we also provide services for existing facilities, including fire alarm testing and inspection to maintain code compliance for commercial properties already in operation.

It also reduces overall project complexity by keeping those systems within the electrical scope.
