Frequently asked questions

WITEC Electrical & Plumbing Contractors was established in 2003, more than two decades ago.

Yes. WITEC is fully licensed and insured, and our electrical work is led by a master electrician.

WITEC employs union and skilled labor.

Monday–Friday, 7:00 am – 4:00 pm. Office closed Saturday and Sunday.

We aim to respond to requests within 24 hours on business days. This is a response commitment, not a promise of same-day arrival.

Yes. Request current documentation to verify the certifying agency, jurisdiction, expiration and approved scope for your procurement. Certification is not represented as valid in every jurisdiction.

Yes, through our separate plumbing division at witecplumbing.com (816-643-3151). This site covers electrical services.

No. This service is excavation for electrical infrastructure, such as underground conduits and duct banks. General civil excavation and broad earthmoving are not represented as WITEC services.

Responsibilities for utility locates, excavation protections, backfill, compaction and restoration are confirmed during project review and defined in the contract. Do not assume these are included in every electrical proposal.

Yes. Send drawings, specifications, route information and the bid date to info@witecinc.com or use our bid request page. WITEC’s medium-voltage underground capability is 601V–35kV; eligibility and exact scope require project review.

Yes. We regularly price electrical scopes for general contractors, developers and owners. Send bid invitations, plans and specifications through our bid request page or to info@witecinc.com.

Yes. Our design assist service helps owners and GCs evaluate options for service size, distribution layout and lighting before documents are complete.

We coordinate electrical permits and inspections with the applicable city or county authority as part of our scope, unless the contract assigns that responsibility elsewhere.

Yes, we install standby and emergency generators along with transfer switches and associated wiring. Equipment selection is coordinated with the engineer of record.

Yes. We can set up recurring visits for panels, lighting, emergency lighting and equipment checks. Tell us about your facility and we will recommend an interval.

In many buildings it reduces energy and maintenance costs. We review fixture counts, hours of use and controls so you can compare options before committing.

Our goal is a response within 24 hours on business days. That is a commitment to contact and triage, not a guaranteed same-day arrival.

WITEC offers a 1-year workmanship guarantee on qualifying work. Terms are confirmed in your proposal or invoice; manufacturer warranties apply to equipment.

Yes. We install and service the electrical portions of power and free conveyors and other material-handling systems, including power rails, controls wiring and drives, in coordination with the conveyor supplier.

Yes. Verified past performance includes Westside, Waldo and Blue River WWTP pump station retrofits in Kansas City. Broader power, instrumentation and controls wiring capabilities are subject to project scope, not inferred scope on those jobs.

Call our main line. During office hours we triage immediately; outside hours, leave a message and we will respond as quickly as possible.

The April 24, 2026 WITEC capability statement specifies medium-voltage systems from 601V–35kV, subject to project requirements.

Yes. Combining power and low-voltage scopes simplifies coordination and scheduling.

Testing is part of our install process; let us know if your project requires formal test reports.

Not always. A load calculation tells us whether your existing service can support a charger circuit. Sometimes a load management device or modest upgrade is enough.

Warning signs include frequent tripping, warm or discolored breakers, buzzing, rust, or an older panel brand with known issues. Our resources section explains more.

Yes, we install standby generators with transfer switches and can advise on sizing for the circuits you want to keep running.

WITEC's plumbing division handles that separately. Visit witecplumbing.com or call 816-643-3151 for plumbing.

A breaker trips to protect wiring. Repeated tripping signals an overload, short or failing device. Don't keep resetting it — have it evaluated.

We aim to respond to requests within 24 hours on business days. Scheduling depends on urgency and crew availability; it is not a guaranteed same-day visit.

Diagnostic charges vary by job. We'll explain pricing when you call or when we confirm your request.

As early as schematic design. The earlier we are involved, the more options remain open for savings and schedule protection.

Stamped drawings are produced by licensed engineering partners. We coordinate that work under a design-build arrangement.
