Electrical Contracting for Healthcare + Assisted Living Facilities
From hospitals and specialty clinics to assisted living communities and rehabilitation centers, Prairie Electric provides expert electrical contracting tailored to the unique demands of healthcare environments. These are spaces where reliability isn’t optional—it’s critical. And where every install, system, and wire needs to support not just code compliance, but patient wellbeing, staff efficiency, and life-saving technology.
With decades of experience across Washington and the Pacific Northwest, our team delivers full-scope healthcare electrical services—both for ground-up medical construction and facility upgrades—always with safety, precision, and performance at the forefront.
Your Trusted Partner in Healthcare Construction
Prairie Electric works directly with general contractors, healthcare systems, senior living developers, and care facility operators to handle every stage of the electrical process—from collaborative precon to final testing.
We understand the strict code enforcement, complex phasing requirements, and life-safety standards that govern these spaces—and we design, install, and verify systems with that heightened responsibility in mind.
Whether you’re building a new ground-up surgical center or upgrading an existing long-term care wing, we have the expertise and resources to keep your project moving, on budget and up to code.

Get StartedSpecialized Electrical Services for Healthcare + Assisted Living
Healthcare facilities aren’t like other commercial buildings—they demand precise, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems built for patient care, infection control, and 24/7 operation. Prairie Electric provides turnkey installation of all electrical systems including:
Power Distribution and Redundancy
We design and install robust electrical infrastructure to support everything from general lighting to high-demand medical equipment, including:
- Main switchgear and distribution systems
- Emergency power systems (generator and battery backup)
- Isolated power circuits where required
- Load balancing and energy management controls
- Future-ready capacity planning for medical technology upgrades
We also work with on-site engineers or vendors to coordinate connection to specialty systems and equipment.
Lighting Systems Designed for Care
Lighting needs in a healthcare setting are complex—balancing functionality, comfort, and energy efficiency. We deliver:
- LED lighting for patient rooms, corridors, clinical spaces, and staff areas
- Dimming systems and zoned controls
- Low-glare exam and task lighting
- Night lighting with motion sensors
- Outdoor, landscape, and emergency egress lighting
We plan our lighting installs around patient comfort and facility aesthetics—while maintaining full code compliance and serviceability.
Low Voltage and Building Systems
Technology is the backbone of modern healthcare, and we install all critical low voltage and auxiliary systems with precision, including:
- Nurse call systems
- Patient entertainment and information consoles
- Telecommunication and data networks
- Building paging and intercom integration
- Security camera and access control infrastructure
- Fire alarm and mass notification systems
- Wi-Fi and fiber backbone installation
We coordinate with IT staff and system vendors to ensure seamless integration and easy maintenance.
HVAC Controls and Monitoring
In facilities where air quality and temperature control are crucial, we provide clean, clearly labeled, and reliable wiring for:
- HVAC controls and instrumentation
- Boiler, chiller, air handling unit integrations
- CO2 and CO sensor circuits
- System monitoring and alert wiring
Our coordination with mechanical contractors ensures system performance is smooth and responsive.
Supporting Life Safety & Medical Code Compliance
Healthcare and assisted living facilities operate under some of the strictest compliance requirements in the industry. Prairie Electric ensures every system meets or exceeds applicable codes and best practices including:
- NEC and Washington State healthcare provisions
- NFPA 70 and 99 for medical and surgical patient areas
- OSHPD (where applicable) and ADA compliance
- Local jurisdiction inspection coordination and permitting
Every wire, junction, and circuit gets installed with a deep respect for life safety.
Renovations, Upgrades, and Occupied Facility Work
In addition to new construction, Prairie Electric performs electrical upgrades and retrofits in occupied healthcare and assisted living facilities—with special attention to minimizing disruption to residents and staff.
Our crews are trained in working around sensitive populations and high-security areas while following infection control and access procedures.
We’ve completed:
- Panel replacements and capacity upgrades
- Fire alarm and nurse call updates
- Lighting retrofits for energy savings
- Generator or emergency transfer switch installations
- Cabling for new medical equipment
We’ll coordinate with your facility team to plan phasing, maintain operations, and complete the work safely and quietly.
