Keeping guests comfortable requires a dependable, code‑compliant electrical backbone. From guestrooms and corridors to kitchens and ballrooms, Dr Electric delivers safe, efficient power solutions to hotels, resorts and conference centers throughout Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland. Let us take the worry out of your electrical systems so you can focus on guest experience.
Modern LED lighting transforms guest rooms and hallways, improving ambience while reducing energy use. Our team designs ambient, task and accent lighting plans that create a welcoming experience. Dimmers and smart controls allow your staff to set the mood and save energy.
Large venues need robust power for lighting, audio/video and flexible seating arrangements. We install dedicated circuits, floor boxes and clean power distribution to keep events running smoothly. Dimming and programmable lighting scenes ensure your space adapts for weddings, conferences or banquets.
Commercial kitchens and laundry rooms are the heart of a hotel. We provide heavy‑duty circuits for ovens, dishwashers, hood control interlocks and laundry equipment. Proper GFCI protection and code‑compliant receptacle spacing keep staff safe and meet NEC requirements.
Power interruptions can’t disrupt guest safety. We install generators, automatic transfer switches and battery systems to maintain egress lighting and life‑safety equipment. Emergency lighting must activate within 10 seconds and provide at least 1 foot‑candle along the path of egress, never below 0.1 foot‑candle, for a minimum of 90 minutes.
Electric vehicles are quickly becoming a hospitality amenity. Our electricians integrate Level 2 and Level 3 charging stations into your parking lots or garages, coordinating utility upgrades and meter requirements. We’ll help you leverage rebates and local incentives.
Hotels and hospitality facilities must adhere to multiple codes. The International Building Code, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and NFPA 70 (NEC) set the baseline for egress, fire protection and electrical installations. NEC 210.52 and 210.60 dictate receptacle spacing in guest rooms, requiring outlets within 3 feet of each basin and ensuring at least two remain accessible after the room is furnished. Emergency lighting requirements call for at least 1 foot‑candle average illumination and operation for 90 minutes. We keep abreast of local amendments, UL 924 emergency lighting standards and NFPA 110 generator rules to ensure every installation passes inspection.
Hotels face rising energy costs. Upgrading to LED fixtures and smart controls can cut lighting energy use dramatically. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting and programmable scenes reduce waste and enhance the guest experience. Our power‑quality solutions—surge protection, harmonics mitigation and panel upgrades—protect sensitive electronics and extend equipment life. Preventive maintenance agreements and 24/7 service keep your facility running without interruption.
