Individual Problems
SpecCheck Pro
Residential electricians are encountering saunas sold to homeowners that require three-phase or high-leg delta power, which is not available in typical residential service, forcing cancellations and return requests.
StubLock Pro
Electrician needs a reliable method to temporarily support and align underground PVC pipes with rigid 90s at stub-ups before concrete pour, to prevent shifting.
FeederCheck Pro
Electrician needs to upgrade service but finds undersized conductors and conduit from meter to panel due to builder cost-cutting, requiring replacement of the entire feeder.
BendSafe Cable Ties
Existing cable securing solutions compromise bend radius specifications, risking cable performance and longevity.
FlexiPull
Struggling to fish new wiring through an existing conduit with multiple bends causes frustration and delays.
ConduitGuard Pro
When non-specialist workers install underground conduit, it often gets buried too deep or incorrectly, forcing specialists to dig deep holes for repairs.
SmartWise 3-Way
Electricians are confused about wiring occupancy sensor switches on 3-way circuits and find the required jumper configuration non-intuitive.
SmartSwitch 3-Way
Occupancy sensor switch on a 3-way requires a signal wire and a specific wiring workaround for compatibility with dumb switches.

BendSmart Pro
Inefficient EMT conduit bending and installation for residential electrical work, causing slow pace and difficulty in achieving proper fit and offsets.
RoutePlan Pro
Electrical installations lack upfront planning, resulting in conduit runs that are cramped and uncoordinated without proper box placement for clean connections.
ConduitPlan Pro
Conduit runs are not planned properly, leading to misalignment with factory knockouts and requiring workarounds like using LBs or 4-square boxes to hide poor alignment.
ArmorGrip Pro Connectors
Teck cable connectors for dry indoor use don't grip armor properly when switching from L-18 to L-19 angle fittings.
PanelSpec Finder
An electrician needs to find a 200A panel brand with the shortest distance from top to main lugs for a panel swap where incoming mains have limited length.
