Service based electrical supplier

Graybar Cedar Rapids is a full-service branch, with a counter, will call pickup and stocked inventory in an on-site warehouse. Through its distribution network, Graybar has become one of the leading commercial lighting suppliers in the United States. Founded in 1869, Graybar has since become one of the Fortune 500, and is one of North America's largest employee-owned companies, employing thousands of men and women at our offices, warehouses, distribution centers, and sales counters. By adding sophisticated logistics and project management operations to our services, we have become a vital link in America's electrical supply chain. Graybar Cedar Rapids lives up to the reputation. Our primary mission at Graybar is to keep the energy footprint of commercial buildings as small as absolutely possible. More than 30 percent of energy used in commercial buildings is wasted needlessly. Graybar can help you monitor, control, report on, and greatly reduce that percentage. These solutions will not only save on energy consumption, but have also been shown to decrease maintenance costs while increasing employee productivity and safety. These solutions will also get you closer to your long term sustainability goals like reducing overall energy consumption by 20 percent by the year 2020 as mandated by the federal government. A lighting retrofit is a simple yet highly effective way to make your building's lighting energy efficient. Swapping out lamps and ballasts with newer, more efficient counterparts will both increase energy efficiency and improve the quality of the light produced. The majority of electrical supplies will install directly into the old fixture housings, further reducing time and money spent repairing and re-wiring. Modern daylighting, when implemented properly, will drastically reduce the cost of lighting during the day. Internal light and motion sensors will cooperate with intelligent control boards to further optimize the lighting situation inside your building. Graybar Cedar Rapids is the one-stop commercial lighting supplier for end-to-end solutions in lighting, high-end electrical supplies and project consulting.
