D&D Electrical Contractors, Inc. along with DNET Cabling Technologies has moved into their new corporate headquarters. Douglas Lynch, president of D&D / DNET said we need to "practice what we preach and demonstrate to our clients that we are committed to do our part with green initiatives". The new facility includes a grid tied 45kW roof mounted solar system, reflective roofing membrane, high efficiency windows, energy management systems controlling all HVAC and lighting, high efficiency LED and fluorescent lighting with occupancy and daylight sensors throughout the entire building. The new facility more than doubles the size of their previous facility and offers the space to now have their Solar division's Pre-Fab Shop consolidated under one roof. D&D has been working with some of the area's most successful solar integrators to create and deploy cost saving techniques to significantly lower the cost of PV solar installations of all types. Started in 1982 offering traditional commercial, industrial and residential electrical services the company has prospered and grown significantly. By reinvesting in itself the company has attracted some of the most experienced office and field staff in the industry. Working directly with some of the area's most respected general contractors, developers and end users they have positioned themselves to be involved with some of the most high profile and sophisticated commercial, industrial and large scale residential electrical projects in the region. Also, as a result of their growth, they have been able to successfully diversify their service offerings by adding DNET Cabling. DNET enables the company to provide their clients with highly skilled staff and technicians to design, install and service voice, data and fiber optic cabling plants, server rooms, fire alarm, security and access control systems. With their positive "can do" attitude, skilled estimating, design / build capability, project management and diversification, the D&D / DNET team has weathered the economic storm. They are now even more precisely positioned to expand their client base and take on more electrical, solar and communication projects as the industry continues to improve
