Data Center & Critical Infrastructure Electrical Contractor
Hobbs & Company has been the trusted partner for corporate IT facilities, institutions, and critical infrastructure owners throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic for over 85 years.
We don't just install circuits. We architect power environments where redundancy is designed in, load is continuously managed, and every system — UPS, generator, distribution, monitoring — works as a coordinated whole. Our team holds OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, and NICET Level II certifications because the environments we work in demand it.
Our Data Center Electrical Services
Ongoing Infrastructure Maintenance
Critical infrastructure requires a proactive maintenance partner — not a break-fix vendor you call when something fails. Critical infrastructure performs best with a proactive maintenance partner — not a break-fix vendor you call when something fails. Hobbs offers scheduled maintenance, emergency response, and infrastructure assessments, and can draw on a broad network of resources to keep your facility code-compliant and operationally ready.
- Preventative maintenance agreements with defined response windows
- Infrared thermography and electrical testing
- Breaker and switchgear maintenance
- Annual arc flash studies and label updates
- Emergency response — 24/7, every day of the year
Data Center Electrical Installation
From design-assist through final commissioning, Hobbs delivers complete electrical infrastructure for data centers of all scales — edge deployments, colocation suites, and enterprise-owned facilities. We coordinate with facility managers, IT directors, and general contractors to deliver installations that meet uptime requirements from day one.
- Primary and secondary electrical distribution
- Bus duct and cable tray systems
- Power distribution unit (PDU) installation
- Raised floor and overhead cable management
- Commissioning, load testing, and acceptance testing
Redundant Power Design
Downtime costs money by the minute in data environments. We design and install redundant power architectures — N+1, 2N, and 2N+1 configurations — that ensure continuous operation even during component failure or utility disruption.
- Redundant feed design and installation
- Static transfer switch (STS) integration
- Automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems
- Fault isolation and circuit segregation
- Complete power path as-built documentation
UPS & Generator Integration
We collaborate on design, install, and maintain UPS systems and standby generators as an integrated power protection strategy — not as isolated components. Hobbs manages the handoff between utility power, UPS battery backup, and generator runtime to eliminate gaps in protection.
- UPS system installation and bypass configuration
- Generator sizing, installation, and load bank testing
- Automatic transfer and retransfer sequencing
- Preventative maintenance programs for all backup power assets
Power Quality & Load Management
Power quality events — harmonics, voltage sags, transient spikes — degrade sensitive IT equipment and cause unexpected failures. We deploy monitoring and mitigation solutions that protect your infrastructure and give your operations team full visibility into power health across the facility.
- Power quality monitoring and event logging
- Harmonic filtering and power conditioning
- Load bank testing and capacity planning
- Panel and circuit-level load balancing
- Integration with DCIM and building management platforms
Environments We've Supported
Client confidentiality is standard in critical infrastructure. We work with organizations that prefer not to be identified publicly — and we respect that. What we can share:
Regional Data Processing Facility
Designed and installed a 2N redundant power distribution system for a regional data processing operation. Scope included UPS integration, generator sequencing, and a phased cutover executed with zero unplanned downtime.
Corporate IT Operations Center
Executed a complete switchgear replacement and load rebalancing program for a 24/7 corporate IT operations center — maintaining continuous uptime throughout a multi-phase construction sequence.
Healthcare-Affiliated Data Environment
Installed mission-critical power systems for a healthcare organization's data infrastructure, meeting NFPA 99 requirements and coordinating with the facility's existing emergency power supply system.
