Testimonial
“Having just recently finished the FedEx Maintenance Hangar Project with your company, I want to commend Gephart Electric on the successful completion of such a complex fire alarm job. At SimplexGrinnell, our systems are only as good as the installation. In this case, your electricians were knowledgeable and attentive to the details. Also, your project management team, both on site and in the office proved to be a valuable asset. Communication and organization on a project of this size is of utmost importance and I was made to feel that we were a team throughout the entire project. Together we have been successful.”
