Leviton’s Labor-Saving Solutions Help Professionals and Their Customers Alike
With a surge in demand for electrical professionals, there is cause for concern that there might not be enough skilled tradesmen to meet the growing needs of the industry.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 2022 and 2032, the electrical industry is projected to grow 6 percent, which is double the average of 3 percent for other occupations. This equates to approximately 73,500 openings each year, on average, over the decade. Finding and training these workers is a slow process. Seasoned workers - carrying the brunt of this labor shortage - now have a more significant need for faster, simplified installation products and services to provide time-saving electrical solutions.
The adage Time is Money certainly takes center stage with electrical professionals including electrical contractors, builders, facility maintenance workers and others. Customers still demand timely service while there are fewer people to do the work. The longer an installation or repair takes eats into profitability.
Leviton Labor-saving Solutions
Leviton addresses the needs of residential, commercial, and industrial installers and offers several intelligent, practical labor-saving solutions sure to make both electrical contractors and their customers happy.
Residential
Residential contractors can save up to 25% in installation time with the innovative Leviton Load Center. The sleek, fashion-forward design features the only patented Plug-On Breaker System™ (up to 60A). All wiring can be completed at rough-in without the circuit breakers being present, while providing plenty of room for installers to maneuver their hands inside the box. When the wiring is complete, the Load Center’s circuit breakers simply snap in to finish the installation. Electrical contractor Corey Prehoda from Barlow Electric was hooked after his first installation. He proudly stated, “The Leviton Load Center easily saved us 3-1/2 hours of installation time!”
Push. Click. Done. Leviton’s Decora Edge™ receptacles and switches are revolutionizing residential wiring installation. The devices are designed with cutting-edge innovations including color-coded, self- grounding lever terminals, and an audible ‘click’ sound to confirm secure connection making them fast and easy to install and an electrician’s best friend.
SmartlockPro® GFCI outlets provide the slimmest profile on the market for quick and easy installation in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and other areas close to water sources. The slim profile sits closer to the wallplate for a streamlined finish, and the shallow design takes up 25% less space in the wallbox.
Commercial
State-of-the-art modular wiring is quickly becoming the norm thanks to Leviton’s Lev-Lok® portfolio of switches, receptacles, GFCIs, Sensors and more. The main difference to the competition is the simple twist and lock wiring module making installation up to 3x faster than traditional wiring. Simply install the wiring module and then connect the device with a simple twist and lock. Additionally, the swap-out speed is 5x faster, than others. This is especially beneficial for health care facilities where the strict but quickly changing standards and heavy usage require frequent replacement of hospital grade devices.
Leviton’s Smart Sensors™ for dimming and switching control save time by allowing contractors a fast, out-of-the-box install solution with preset Auto-ON and Auto-OFF sensor sensitivity or with advanced push button or app-based set-up and programming with the smart sensors app and their mobile device. Each allows a wide range of features and energy savings for both occupancy and vacancy sensing with dimming or ON/OFF switching control. The Smart Sensor™ app is useful in configuring features like timeouts, daylighting and more and to program common configurations and push-to-pair for multiple locations.
Industrial
Leviton’s LEV Series Pin and Sleeve Devices™ which include connectors, inlets, backboxes and mechanical interlocks are designed to be quickly and easily installed in a variety of applications where contamination is possible. Having fewer screws and threaded housings for plugs and connectors reduces installation time while enhancing dust, water, and debris protection. An NSF Certification means the devices are trusted in food and beverage environments. For example, industrial food processing plants need NEC certified technology to withstand heavy-duty washdown procedures to decrease the risk of physical hazards and contamination.
Unplanned downtime costs businesses 10 times more than planned downtime and contributes to wasted labor and production time. Predictive maintenance is helpful in identifying components that could fail so repairs can be scheduled before they are needed, saving labor. The LEV Series Mechanical Interlocks compliments a company’s predictive maintenance management protocol by continually monitoring the performance and health of the devices. This system helps minimizes downtime via the Leviton Inform™ Mobile App providing real-time remote monitoring and alerts when the device is likely to fail.
The electrical and other industries are racing for more workers and schools are working harder to pour more skilled craftsmen and women into the field. It is a relief to know these future jobs and those of current professionals will be easier through the labor-saving, high-performance solutions from Leviton. |
