Every minute a production line sits idle is money walking out the door, and plant managers know that better than anyone. Craig Faria Electrician has been providing industrial electrical services in Taunton, MA, and nearby areas since 1996, working in manufacturing facilities where a stopped machine backs up an entire shift. Getting someone on site who understands three-phase power, motor controls, and heavy equipment makes the difference between a two-hour fix and a two-day guessing game.
Craig Faria Electrician operates out of Taunton, MA, as a full-service electrical contractor covering Bristol and Plymouth counties. Our crew specializes in industrial work for manufacturing facilities and industrial equipment, handling generator installation, machine wiring, industrial troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, equipment installation, and power distribution. We've worked in plants of all kinds across the region, including complete asphalt plants.
The call usually comes in the same way. A piece of equipment shuts down mid-run, someone resets it, and production picks back up. Then it happens again a week later, then twice in one shift, and now maintenance is standing around a control panel with no idea where to start.
Nine times out of 10, the cause is something that's been degrading slowly for months. Vibration works a connection loose, heat cooks the insulation in a conduit run, contactors wear down, or a motor starts pulling more current than it should because a bearing is going. None of that announces itself. It just quietly gets worse until the equipment finally refuses to run.
Sorting it out means starting with the electrical side before anyone tears into the mechanical side. A licensed industrial electrician on our crew will pull amperage readings under load, check voltage balance across all three phases, inspect terminations, thermal scan the panels, and trace the control circuit step by step. Once the actual fault surfaces, we handle the repair, whether that's rewiring a motor circuit, replacing a starter, correcting an overloaded feeder, or rebuilding a section of the distribution system that was never sized for the equipment it's feeding now.
What you get on the other side is equipment that runs a full shift without drama. Better yet, the same inspection usually turns up two or three other things heading for failure, so you can schedule that work during planned downtime instead of finding out about it at 3:00 a.m.
Our team works with industrial facilities to support equipment, infrastructure, and electrical systems that face demanding operating conditions.
New machinery rarely arrives ready to plug in. Our team handles disconnects, feeders, conduit, and terminations sized correctly for the load, then coordinates with your equipment vendor during commissioning. Plants adding a line or replacing an older machine usually bring us in early so the power is waiting when the freight shows up.
Backup power in an industrial setting protects more than the lights. Generac and Kohler units keep critical processes, controls, and safety systems running through an outage, and we handle sizing, installation, and automatic transfer so the changeover happens without anyone touching a switch. Facilities running temperature-sensitive processes tend to see the value fastest.
Intermittent faults are the ones that eat up the most time and patience. Finding them takes proper test equipment and someone who's chased enough of these to know the usual hiding spots, from failing contactors to voltage drop on a long feeder run. You'll get a clear explanation of the root cause along with the repair.
Production equipment depends on wiring that holds up to vibration, heat, and constant duty cycles. Control wiring, motor circuits, sensors, and safety interlocks all get installed to the manufacturer's specs and to code, with labeling that makes future service straightforward. Retrofits and rebuilds fall under this as well when older machines need their electrical systems brought current.
Facilities outgrow their distribution systems long before anyone plans for it. Panels, transformers, feeders, switchgear, and branch circuits all get evaluated against actual demand, then expanded or reconfigured to support the load you're running today. A properly built system also leaves headroom for the equipment you'll add in a few years.
Unplanned downtime costs far more than scheduled service ever will. Regular inspections cover thermal imaging, torque checks on connections, breaker testing, and panel cleaning, all documented so you can track what's changing over time. Facilities on a maintenance schedule with a dependable industrial electrical contractor simply have fewer surprises.
Sometimes you need help now rather than next month. Our industrial electrical service covers emergency response, repairs to damaged or failing equipment, and capacity upgrades when the existing service can no longer keep up. Night and weekend work is standard for us, since that's often the only window when the floor is quiet.
Most business owners don't think much about their electrical system until the day it stops cooperating. Our commercial electrical services keep offices, retail spaces, and restaurants running with maintenance visits, service upgrades, generator installs, buildout wiring for new tenants, and same-week troubleshooting when something acts up.
Vacancy days cost money, so a unit sitting empty waiting on an electrician helps nobody. Multifamily electrical services keep apartment communities and condo associations moving, whether that means rewiring a renovated unit, brightening up stairwells and parking areas, boosting the service to the building, adding generator backup, or handling the everyday maintenance list.
Custom homes rarely follow a standard plan, and neither should the wiring behind the walls. High-end residential electrical services from Craig Faria Electrician handle luxury builds and additions with complete home wiring, layered lighting design, smart home control, dedicated circuits, upgraded panels, and whole-house standby generators.
Breakers that trip on a schedule you could set a clock by usually mean the panel has run out of room. Our electrical panel upgrades and service changes solve it properly through panel replacement, a larger service, new breakers and metering, and code corrections that make the whole system safer.
Site work moves in a certain order, and underground electrical needs to land in the right spot in that sequence. Underground utility and primary electrical services from our team include primary feeds, distribution runs, conduit and service entrance work, transformer connections, and close coordination with excavators and the utility company.
Code requirements around detection and notification have tightened up quite a bit over the years. We install, expand, and maintain fire alarm systems for commercial properties, from addressable panels and new construction rough-in to swapping aging devices, running required tests, and clearing faults that keep setting off trouble alerts.
You flip a switch, nothing happens, and now you're standing in the basement staring at a panel you don't understand. Our electrical service calls and repairs are exactly for that moment, whether the issue is a dead circuit, storm damage, failed lighting, an outlet that stopped working, or an urgent problem at a business that can't wait until Monday.
Plant managers around Southeastern Mass stick with us for a few practical reasons.
Breakdowns rarely happen at a convenient hour, so emergency calls get answered whenever your operation needs someone on site.
Backup power comes from Generac and Kohler on our jobs, because equipment that has to start under pressure needs to be dependable.
Everything we install carries a one-year workmanship warranty, giving your facility a clear path forward if something needs another look.
More than 20 years across industrial, commercial, and residential settings inform how our crew approaches a plant floor, and our membership in the Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association keeps us current on code.
Planned inspections and testing can reveal deterioration, loose terminations, contamination, heat damage, and unusual equipment behavior before a failure shuts down production. Industrial electrical services use those findings to prioritize repairs around critical loads and operating schedules.
A facility should base its maintenance frequency on equipment importance, operating hours, environmental conditions, manufacturer guidance, and repair history rather than following one universal calendar. Industrial electrical services can establish suitable intervals for switchgear, machines, generators, distribution equipment, and electrical connections.
Loose connections, voltage problems, damaged conductors, worn components, contamination, and changes in mechanical load can all create recurring faults. Industrial electrical services trace the symptoms through the machine and power system instead of repeatedly resetting equipment without finding the cause.
An industrial electrician reviews power requirements, disconnects, grounding, controls, overcurrent protection, and the route from the distribution system to the machine. Industrial electrical services also include wiring, startup checks, troubleshooting, and coordination with equipment manufacturers.
An upgrade deserves consideration when loads approach capacity, breakers trip, voltage problems affect machinery, replacement components become difficult to find, or expansion adds major equipment. Industrial electrical services can evaluate current demand and future production needs before feeder, panel, or switchgear changes begin.
