Troubleshooting & Industrial Controls ⚡️🔧
When a control panel throws a fault and stops your line, you don't need a replacement months down the road—you need answers right now.

At RIC Electric, control panel troubleshooting is core to what we do. When complex automation or motor drives fail, our technicians diagnose the root cause to get your equipment back online fast.

When a job requires custom panel fabrication, we team up with trusted third-party panel builders to deliver complete, tailored solutions:

🔍 Rapid Diagnostics: Systematic troubleshooting of PLCs, VFDs, contactors, and control wiring to minimize unplanned downtime.

🛠️ System Upgrades & Retrofits: Replacing obsolete components and cleaning up control cabinets to keep older machinery reliable.

🤝 Partner Network: Seamlessly coordinating with specialized panel builders when new, full-scale custom control panels are required.

Is Your Facility Ready for Severe Weather?
RIC Electric helps industrial facilities protect their infrastructure from lightning-related damage. Even a brief strike can disrupt operations and take critical equipment offline.

Our Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) include:

Structural Protection: Air terminals and grounding systems that safely redirect strikes.

Service Entrance Surge Defense: Type 1 surge protection at main switchgear to reduce grid‑related surges.

Equipment-Level Safeguards: Added protection for machinery panels, PLCs, and sensitive instrumentation.

Weather is unpredictable — your protection doesn’t have to be.

Powering Your Progress From Day One ⚡️🏗️
You can't build a modern industrial or commercial facility on extension cords and luck. Before the steel goes up, you need a safe, high-capacity electrical foundation.

At RIC Electric, we specialize in New Construction Power Infrastructure. We don't just show up to pull wires at the end—we coordinate your project's power needs from the very beginning, ensuring zero delays when the heavy equipment arrives.

Our team handles the heavy lifting:

🏢 Service Entrances & Switchgear: Designing and installing the main electrical heart of your new facility.

⚡ Temporary Site Power: Keeping the entire construction crew running safely with reliable, code-compliant temporary drops.

🤝 Utility Coordination: Managing the logistics with local utility companies so you don't have to deal with the red tape.

Building a new facility? Let’s get the power right from the start.

In observance of Independence Day, the RIC Electric office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd. We will reopen with full service on Monday, July 6th.

While our office team takes a moment to celebrate the 4th of July with family and friends, we know that industrial production lines don't always take a holiday.

If your facility experiences an unexpected electrical emergency or critical breakdown over the long weekend, you won't get stuck in a voicemail loop. Our emergency response protocol is always live.

Have a safe, happy, and meaningful 4th of July weekend!

When the production floor heats up, your electrical panels feel it first. High summer temperatures are a leading cause of unexpected thermal shutdowns.

At RIC Electric, we use advanced Thermal Imaging (Infrared Scanning) to catch hidden hazards before they halt your production line. By mapping your system under full load, we can:

Catch Hot Spots: Identify loose connections or overloaded circuits before they fail.

Prevent Downtime: Schedule minor fixes during planned windows instead of paying for emergency repairs.

Extend Equipment Life: Keep expensive industrial machinery running cool all summer.

Don't let a heatwave dictate your production schedule. Our crews are ready to audit your infrastructure. High-level diagnostics, direct access to leadership, and no phone trees.

Beat the heat. Protect your uptime.

In an industrial facility, there’s no room for "guessing" if a line is live. At RIC Electric, we live by the Zero Energy Standard. ⚡️🔒

As we celebrate National Safety Month this June, we’re highlighting the backbone of our field safety program: Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO). Before a single RIC technician touches a motor control panel, conveyor system, or heavy machinery, we ensure complete energy isolation.

Strict Accountability: Every team member carries their own dedicated locks and tags—no exceptions.

Verified Testing: We don't just flip a switch; we test and verify that zero electrical, mechanical, or stored energy remains.

Audited Ex*****on: Our third-party safety partners at Avanti Safety and Warhawk Safety audit our LOTO compliance in the field to guarantee zero blind spots.

When you hire RIC, you aren't just getting wires pulled.

An arc flash can happen in a fraction of a second, but its impact can last a lifetime. Is your facility fully compliant with NFPA 70E standards? 🛡️💥

For National Safety Month, we’re talking about electrical workplace safety. NFPA 70E isn't just a rulebook—it’s how we ensure our crew and your employees go home safely every night.

At RIC, we manage arc flash hazards through:

Proper PPE: Our technicians are fully equipped with the correct category of flame-resistant clothing and face shields for the job.

Boundary Awareness: We establish strict, limited, and restricted approach boundaries on your shop floor to keep your plant personnel out of harm's way.

Up-to-Code Training: As a Union-proud IBEW shop, our team is continuously trained on the latest electrical safety standards.

Don't risk your facility's uptime or your team's safety with a contractor who cuts corners on compliance.
