Why Contractors & Building Owners are Choosing to Wire DC Natively
Contractors and building owners are choosing to wire DC natively due to its efficiency in powering modern energy systems, such as solar panels and electric vehicle chargers, while reducing energy loss. This approach also supports future-proofing buildings for the growing demand of low-voltage, sustainable technologies.
Extended Lifespan of Lighting Fixtures: LED fixtures last 2.5 times longer when powered by DC because it eliminates the failure-prone AC-to-DC conversion drivers. This reduces replacement and maintenance costs.
Centralized Maintenance: DC systems move failure points (like drivers) from hard-to-reach locations (e.g., ceilings) to centralized panels, making maintenance easier and more cost-effective.
Reduced Wiring Costs: DC power allows the use of smaller conductors and can share raceways with IT systems, saving on wiring and infrastructure costs. This is especially useful in large facilities or retrofits where space and pathways are limited.
Efficient Power Distribution: Technologies like Class 4 power enable DC to travel long distances on small wires, providing a safe and efficient way to power large facilities.
Reliable EV Charging options w/Income Potential: Looking to add electric vehicle charging to your property? Benefit from a reliable, adaptable setup that ensures your chargers stay operational while creating an additional revenue stream for your business.
Smart Tech Ready— Now and in the Future: DC wiring enhances smart tech performance and simplifies future upgrades—like adding devices, security systems, EV chargers, or energy storage—without costly rewiring.
