On January 20, 2004 Korando Electric Inc., Co. & IBEW Local 702 united together in a cooperative effort to install new electrical wiring in the Boys & Girls Club of Carbondale. Over a period of a seven months we installed a new 600 amp service, lighting, wiring for new A/C Unit, new wiring of all rooms and gymnasium, installed occupancy sensors in restrooms, key switches, cameras, door alarms, strobes, fire alarms, and exit lights.  IBEW Local 702 has donated 739.5 man hours of labor to the new center and  Korando Electric Co., Inc. donated 105.5 man hours of supervision to the project as well.

Below are some pictures and descriptions of the components installed or rewired by Korando Electric Co., Inc. and IBEW Local 702.
