Southshore Tennis Facility
This is an indoor, 2 court tennis facility belonging to the Southshore Homeowners Association in Newport, Oregon. It was a design-build and SGE was very careful to follow the lighting levels recommended by the U.S. Tennis Association. The electrical system includes power distribution panel, power outlets and a timer-controlled lighting system. We installed a programmable logic control system for the lighting to save electricity by controlling the length of time the lights were operating by using a timer.
Southshore Development Homes
This is 30+-house ocean-front gated community. SGE did the design-build of the electrical systems for approximately 30 of the high-end custom homes in this development in south Newport. The general contractor on the job was Vince Biggi of Vista View Development out of Beaverton, Oregon. We tried to accommodate any existing and future electrical needs of the homeowners.
Nye Beach Condos
These are 24 custom condominium units. This was a design-build project, including lighting, heat, bathroom floor heat and fans. The general contractor on this project was T. Gerding Construction of Corvallis, Oregon. Special accommodations were made to enable the owners to equip their home with the latest in LAN technology. Besides supplying and installing the electrical systems, SGE did the elevator wiring hookup and the fire alarm system. All the units are equipped with floor heat in the bathrooms.
Yaquina Head Lighthouse
This was a historic restoration project in Newport, Oregon. Solid Ground Electric used modern UL approved lightning rod protection and techniques, all the while being careful to preserve the historic nature of the lighthouse. This was a Federal Government Bureau of Land Management project. It also included installation of an electricity grounding ring complete with grounding wells around the perimeter of the lighthouse.
Save Energy. Save Money. Here’s How
- Do you have the old-style magnetic ballast, large tube fluorescent light fixtures in your home or business? You can recognize them because they have a hum when they are operating. These fixtures can be retrofitted with electronic ballasts and energy efficient lamps and begin saving you money in energy savings. Call Solid Ground Electric to come out and quickly retrofit your old lighting.
- There may be EnergyTrust funds available for help in defraying the cost of retrofitting your building. The program requires that an audit be done ahead of time to evaluate the types of light fixtures and the number. Then an application is filled out and turned into the EnergyTrust and you are told, ahead of time, what funds may be available to you.
- If you check with your power company they can tell you if there are tax credits available for from the State of Oregon and the U.S. Government for upgrades to more energy efficient electrically powered devices, like a new furnace or heat pump.
- There are tax credits and EnergyTrust funds available for people to install solar systems. The savings for commercial installations are especially attractive. The initial cost is invested by the building owner, but the tax credits, EnergyTrust funds and energy savings can often be equal to the initial investment.
