FAQ
Straight answers.
The questions general contractors, electrical contractors, developers, and facility teams actually ask — answered plainly, including the ones about what we don’t do.
All questions
What does TESIM Electric do?
Our focus is coordinated commercial electrical installation packages. We review scope, schedule, equipment responsibilities and project qualifications with general contractors, electrical contractors, developers and facility teams.
Have you completed data-center projects?
Data centers are a secondary growth market. We review defined installation opportunities without claiming a completed data-center portfolio.
Do you design or engineer electrical systems?
No. We install. Design and engineering stay with the engineer of record, equipment stays with the manufacturer, and commissioning stays with the commissioning agent. We build to the drawings and specifications we’re given, flag constructability problems when we see them, and take responsibility for the installation itself.
Do you commission or service backup-power equipment?
No. We install, terminate, and connect generators, transfer switches, and UPS electrical infrastructure. Startup, commissioning, testing, and ongoing equipment service belong to the manufacturer’s representatives and the commissioning agent. We coordinate our installation around their schedule.
What power-distribution equipment do you install?
Switchgear and switchboards, transformers, panelboards, and busway and bus duct — plus the feeders, branch power, equipment connections, and terminations that tie them together. Installation is done to the National Electrical Code, torqued to specification, and built to be inspected.
What backup-power work do you perform?
Generator installation with feeders and connections, automatic and manual transfer switches, emergency and standby power distribution, and UPS electrical infrastructure. Our role is the electrical installation — not design, commissioning, or equipment service.
What voltages do you self-perform?
Equipment voltage, installation boundaries and project-specific qualification requirements are reviewed with the project team before work is agreed. No medium- or high-voltage capability is implied.
Are you a staffing agency or workforce/labor-broker company?
Our focus is coordinated commercial electrical installation packages. We review scope, schedule, equipment responsibilities and project qualifications with general contractors, electrical contractors, developers and facility teams.
Will you work as a subcontractor to another electrical contractor?
Our focus is coordinated commercial electrical installation packages. We review scope, schedule, equipment responsibilities and project qualifications with general contractors, electrical contractors, developers and facility teams.
Can you work inside a live, occupied facility?
Occupied-facility work is reviewed case by case. Share existing conditions, access constraints and shutdown requirements so the project team can establish a suitable installation plan before work is agreed.
Are you licensed, insured, and bondable?
Share the scope, location, schedule and qualification requirements. Current licensing, insurance, references and any bonding requirements must be reviewed for the particular project before commitments are made.
Is there a project too large for TESIM Electric?
Share the scope, location, schedule and qualification requirements. Current licensing, insurance, references and any bonding requirements must be reviewed for the particular project before commitments are made.
Where is TESIM Electric located and what areas do you serve?
We’re based in the Austin area (Lakeway, Texas) and serve all of Texas — Austin, San Antonio, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and everywhere in between.
Do you do residential electrical work?
Commercial construction, tenant improvements, facility upgrades and electrical installation packages are our focus. Contact us to discuss whether your specific project fits.
Who do you work for — GCs, owners, or other contractors?
All of them. General contractors and larger electrical contractors are who we’re built for, and we also work directly with data-center developers, commercial developers, owners and operators, facility managers, and construction managers.
How do I invite you to bid?
Send the plans and specs, the location, and your target dates through our contact page or by phone at (737) 383-2847. We’ll review the electrical scope and get back to you with an honest read on price and schedule.

TESIM Electric LLC is an independent company. Ask our team for current company information and project-specific qualifications; individual experience is not presented as company age.
