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.

Despite the scope and urgency, Compass delivered the entire project in under one week, with careful coordination to minimize disruption to tenants and maintain safety throughout.
