Frequently Asked Questions
What is Con Edison's secondary network and how does it affect estimating?
Con Edison's secondary network is a unique low-voltage grid system used in Manhattan. Connections require network protectors, transformer vaults, and specific coordination with Con Edison engineering. Lead times for new connections are typically 12-24 weeks.
How does Local Law 97 affect electrical estimating in NYC?
Local Law 97 imposes carbon emission limits on large buildings, which drives requirements for building electrification, EV charging infrastructure, and energy monitoring systems. We factor compliance costs into our estimates for affected projects.
