Why You'll Love Our Installation Service

• 50% Faster Installation – Bus duct can be installed in days instead of weeks. Prefabricated modular sections bolt together on-site, eliminating the time-consuming cable pulling and conduit routing that traditional cable installation demands.

• Reduced Labor Costs – Busway installation can save 30–50% in labor costs compared to conventional cable and conduit methods. Fewer terminations, fewer fasteners, and no conduit bending translate directly to lower project expenses.

• Enhanced Safety Standards – Fully enclosed metal housings minimize arc flash risks and reduce electrical hazards. Safety protocols including lockout/tagout procedures are integrated into every Get a Reno installation, and NEC-required working clearances are maintained around all busway units.

• Future Expansion Ready – Plug in busway configurations with tap off boxes and continuous access slot designs let you add equipment, circuits, or electrical outlets without full shutdowns. Bus duct systems can reduce downtime during modifications significantly.

• Space Optimization – Overhead power distribution frees up valuable floor area. Busway occupies 25% less ceiling space than cable systems, giving your operation more room for production equipment and workflow.

What Makes Our Installation Different

Most installation services focus on basic setup - running components from point A to point B without considering long-term operational needs, future loads, or how your facility's power demands will shift over time.

Get a Reno is built differently:

• Pre-Installation Engineering Assessment – Every project begins with a comprehensive load analysis covering ambient conditions, harmonic distortion, phase balancing, and future growth projections. Systems must support the ambient conditions specific to the installation site, and our engineering team ensures your busway is sized correctly from the start.

• Certified Installation Teams – Our factory-trained technicians understand that joint bolts must be torqued to manufacturer specifications to prevent failures. Every connection point receives verified torque application and contact surface inspection to eliminate hot spots before they develop.

• Integration Planning – We coordinate with your existing switchgear, building systems, and structural elements to ensure accurate routing. Planning involves coordination with structural elements that account for the busway weight, alignment, and thermal expansion joints necessary for long busway runs to accommodate temperature changes.

• Post-Installation Validation – Before system handover, Get a Reno conducts thermographic imaging, insulation resistance testing, short-circuit verification, and phase balance confirmation. Proper insulation resistance testing is crucial before system energization - we never skip this step.

How Our Installation Process Works

1. Site Assessment and Design Our engineers survey your facility's electrical power requirements, map existing infrastructure, and create a detailed installation plan. We evaluate current capacity needs, voltage drop considerations, and future expansion points. Installing an industrial power busway requires planning and adherence to electrical codes - regulatory standards like NEC guide every design decision we make. We inspect busbar ends and insulation for damage before installation begins.

2. Professional Installation Get a Reno technicians install prefabricated busway sections with proper grounding, safety protocols, and precise alignment. The enclosure type is matched to the installation environment for safety - whether your facility demands IP54 ingress protection ratings for harsh environments or NEMA 3R-rated enclosures that protect against rain and falling dirt. Every bolt on connection is verified, and thermal expansion joints are placed at engineered intervals.

3. Testing and Commissioning We conduct comprehensive electrical testing including insulation resistance verification, phase balance measurement, and thermal performance validation. Your system is energized under controlled conditions, and Get a Reno provides detailed commissioning documentation confirming code compliance and optimal performance across all circuits.
