Central Electric has taken a series of calculated steps to help alleviate supply concerns for those we serve. However, ongoing material constraints and extended delivery timeframes make it critical that you contact us early to discuss any upgrades or new construction.

Transformers, generators, metering equipment, wire, fuses and electrical conduit are just a few of the shortages we face in 2022. Some crucial materials have been ordered well into the future, but our suppliers cannot guarantee delivery.

Transformers, for example, now have delivery dates ranging from 12 months to 24 months into the future. Generators also have extended timeframes for delivery. Depending on the size of equipment required for your project, other options may need to be considered.

In addition, large manufacturers are enforcing strict allocations and material allowances that are out of our control due to the market conditions.

These are examples of obstacles members could face if they need electrical work completed this year. To avoid added stress on your upcoming project, we encourage you to contact us today at 1-800-477-2892 and start the planning process. The sooner you call us, the better off you will be in terms of getting the right materials for the job.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate ongoing supply challenges together!
