Projects
Zyra Electric has over 25 years of experience as a trusted electrical company, providing quality wiring services for homes and businesses alike. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our ability to handle projects of all sizes, from basic electrical wiring to full low voltage and data installations.
Project Name
New Sunday School Area
We got a call from McDonald Presbyterian Church one evening saying they had started some renovations in the downstairs Fellowship Hall area and was asking for us to install new recessed can-lights, about 5 to 6 15amp power receptacles, and new up to date wiring while the ceiling was open. It's always fun working in these old churches just to see the history that is hidden for so many years. After speaking with the minister, we agreed on a style of light and brightness hue for the area and used a laser-line to make sure all the new lights were in a straight line. After a couple of weeks of wiring and construction with new lights and another contractor made changes to the walls and ceiling, and new drywall was up and painted, we were able to complete the lighting and get everything completed. We also added 2 3-way switches on both ends of the room so lights could be dimmed and turned on and off for convenience from either side. A projector was installed later with a new ceiling outlet for power also at a later time.
New Camera/Data Network
Some jobs are just too big for one or two people to handle. That is where a friend from another installation company called us and asked for help installing a brand new security camera, door access, and 120 cable data network system for a customer in Carlisle, Pa. Of course we never let old colleagues hanging so we packed up and headed to Carlisle for a month long install. After a beautiful drive thru the Allegheny Turnpike scenery we installed 2 brand new wall mounted data cabinets complete with network switches and equipment and 3 inch conduit raceway for all cables to drop smoothly into the cabinet. Our good friend, Brad Herman, whose the owner of TechFlare supplied all the blueprints and layouts needed for a successful installation of the customer's new network.
Hallway Lighting
Walking into a dark hallway before work is never a fun way to start your day. So this customer contacted us to install new 120v-277v LED wafer/waffle lighting. Using the existing circuit that was 277v we installed 12 new LED lights in the hallway and used the extra power leg to add emergency floodlights in case of a power outage in the building during storms or loss of power. As you can see the new lights certainly brightened up the hallway dramatically and gave the hallway a fresh new look.
New CCTV System
Doing an apartment complex is never an easy task, especially when it is 7 floors. This customer needed cameras placed around the perimeters of their apartment complex. both interior and exterior cameras were installed to ensure resident safety. We installed security cameras in all hallways and common areas and outside for 24 hour monitoring of the parking lot and doors. With the type of security camera systems we use it is extremely easy to integrate the customer's phone into the cameras for remote monitoring while being away. A simple app and a wifi or cellular connection is all that is needed so you can log in from anywhere and keep an eye on what's important at your home or business.
NewStage Lighting
Zyra Electrical is very committed to its small town roots, so when McDonald Presbyterian Church needed new stage lighting for their one church, naturally they called us to do the work since they loved the work we have done for them in the past and built such a great reputation with them over the years. The old fluorescent lighting was badly outdated, so we installed new 4' long LED lights above the stage area behind the bulkhead so it was totally concealed from the audience floor. No more dragging the 12' foot ladder out to change fluorescent bulbs and climbing up anymore. These LED light fixtures will last a solid 10 to 12 years.
FedEx Dimensioners Scanners
In the beginning of January we were contacted by a company based out of Chicago, Illinois area and was asked if wed like to be contracted by them to install data and power for FedEx for ceiling mounted freight scanners called "Dimensioners". These devices only take a simple 20amp 110v circuit and a single CAT-6 cable to communicate the data needs to the network. Involving travelling to different states along the East Coast we gladly accepted. Some locations needed more in depth construction such as small pod rooms called "Mods" placed in the center of the shipping warehouse floor due to the size of the warehouses power and data does have a distance limit that always has to be kept in mind. All electrical wiring were/is ran inside EMT conduit for protection and has a nice clean look for the wiring raceways in the ceiling into the coordinating breaker panels.
Small Office Network
A small Oil and Gas network we installed for office cubicles and wireless access points. Company had their own internal IT people install the network switches and firewall equipment. All we had to do was pull a few cat-6 cables for the network. We also checked over the electrical to make sure everything was up to code and made sure outlets were in appropriate places for their needs.
Bar & Grill TV's Above Bar Area
A local restaurant bar/grill needed some 64" inch televisions mounted in the bar area for their customers. Once a location was decided for the television and cabling we installed 3 dedicated receptacle boxes for power with low voltage cable combo ports for HDMI also. We used a laser-line to mark the bottom of the where the brackets should be lined up across the wall and ran cables from the opposite back side of the divider so everything would be concealed and hidden. Overall everything lines up perfectly, nice and straight and we got a free dinner and watched the game afterwards.
NevilleWood Bathroom Remodel
Last year, we had the honor of undertaking a prestigious project: a comprehensive bathroom renovation for Nevillewood Golf Country Club. We meticulously demolished the existing structure down to the bare framing, allowing us to completely start anew. Our team installed new wiring to accommodate an exceptional lighting package featuring 4-inch recessed lights, a chandelier, wall-mounted touch-mirror lighted mirrors, LED hidden lighting above the tub and within the shower, as well as a radiant floor heating system to ensure comfort during colder. Furthermore, we incorporated motion-activated switches for seamless entry, humidity-s switches for the exhaust fans, and elegant Decora switches for other lighting and floor heating controls. The unveiling day was truly emotional, as the customer was brought to tears by the remarkable transformation of her dream bathroom.
Kitchen Lighting
What is the purpose of a newly remodeled kitchen if visibility while cooking is lacking? This kitchen has been expertly transformed with new cabinetry and appliances, incorporating under-cabinet LED, recessed lighting, and pendant fixtures. While it was a modest project, the result is a beautifully upgraded kitchen space.
Kitchen Remodel/Island
We recently had the opportunity to update another kitchen, enhancing it with new, appliances, and a central island equipped with pendant and supplementary fixtures. In compliance with safety regulations, we installed a pop-up receptacle on the countertop of the island, as traditional power outlets are no longer permitted on the sides of kitchen islands. The upgrade also included the installation of under-cabinet LED, recessed 4-inch lighting, and pendant lights above the new island. Furthermore, a small desk area was incorporated to provide added convenience.
New Patio
In early September, we were commissioned to provide design concepts and an estimate for a new outdoor living space being constructed at a residence. Our installation featured eight 4-inch recessed wafer lights, a receptacle for a wall-mounted TV, and a centrally located ceiling fan. The client specifically requested the ability to celebrate Christmas outdoors on new patio, which posed a minor challenge. To meet this requirement, we successfully installed two 1500-watt radiant heaters, commonly used in outdoor dining, equipped with a wall-mounted timer, as well as two recessed floor outlets for convenient charging of devices. The outdoor space was completed beautifully, just in time for the holiday season.
Front Porch in Pittsburgh
As the colder weather approaches, rain was a key factor in the timely completion of this elegant front porch. the porch, there is a newly constructed workout room that the customer intends to finish themselves, but they requested our expertise in addressing the lighting requirements for the porch. We installed a stylish chandelier above the door and recessed lighting at both ends of the porch, featuring dimmable settings. This space promises to be a serene retreat for enjoyable evenings in the future.
Mansion Porch
Located in Butler County, there is a magnificent mansion where we had the pleasure of installing ceiling fans and recessed lighting. This home is not just large; it is truly stunning. We installed two large ceiling fans with 3/4-way switches and remote control functionality, along with adjustable recessed wafer lighting, creating a cozy living space both day and night.
Patio Sunroom/Dining Room
The wiring work in this room was more complex than it initially appeared. A significant challenge involved the overhead electric service lines from the street pole that supply power to the home. These lines were positioned on the newly constructed peak of the room and required elevation to mitigate friction and minimize the fire hazard. While we initially considered relocating the electrical service underground, the extensive excavation required proved impractical. Therefore, decided to elevate the power lines using a new power mast, upgrading from a 2-inch pipe to a 2 ½-inch heavy-duty conduit mast that extends through the roof, effectively raising the to a safer height. Inside, we installed four recessed 6-inch wafer lights, three central pendant lights, and a book corner featuring three 4-inch lights. Additionally, we included sconces on the exterior of the room, resulting in a visually appealing outcome.
