ILLUSTRATION · WHAT A THERMAL SCAN SHOWS
Find the hot spot before it fails
A loose connection looks fine until it doesn't. Thermographic testing shows it while the gear is still running, and you get a report with recommendations.
Regular thermal testing helps meet insurance requirements, raises uptime and lowers cost. We also troubleshoot, program and replace PLC systems on Allen-Bradley, Siemens and AutomationDirect platforms.
An electrician who thinks like a plant manager
Faircloth Electric is a full-service electrical contractor based in Americus, with a long tradition of service for commercial and industrial customers across South Georgia and beyond.
Owner Shannon Faircloth came up in manufacturing before he ran an electrical company. That shapes how the work gets planned: around what an hour of downtime costs you.
We stay current with code, carry full licensing and insurance, and give free estimates on all major projects.

Study, install, service
Free sizing and location study
We look at what you need to keep running and where the unit can sit. You get a detailed quote that itemizes the right generator for the job.
Installation
Our electricians install the generator and tie it into your building, working with the manufacturer's engineers so you get current equipment.
Service
Regular maintenance keeps the unit in top condition. If something goes wrong at 2 a.m., emergency service is on call 24/7.
What size do you need?
Check what you'd want running in an outage. This gives a ballpark for a home or small shop. The free study gives the real number.
- Running load
- 7.5 kW
- Look at units around
- 13 kW
