White Bluff Apartments: Emergency Panel & Meter Bank Replacement
Project Overview
Compass Electrical Solutions partnered with the White Bluff Apartments to address an urgent electrical issue triggered by insurance requirements. The complex’s aging electrical panels were deemed a fire hazard, prompting a full-scale replacement of panels and meter banks across the 39-unit property.

minimize disruption to tenants and maintain safety throughout.
