Exit Sign Combo Replacement with Lift – Venice, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: EXIT SIGN COMBO REPLACEMENT WITH LIFT – VENICE, FL

Coharbor Electric was called to a commercial facility in Venice, FL to address issues with defective exit and emergency lighting. Safety lighting is a critical part of code compliance and building safety, so this job required thorough troubleshooting and careful installation.

The customer had already provided six new exit sign combo units, which feature both illuminated exit signage and emergency lights. Because the fixtures were mounted at elevated positions, our team utilized a 26-foot lift to ensure safe and efficient access. Rj coordinated the lift rental and delivery ahead of time so the project could be completed without delay.

WHAT WE DID:

• Brought in and safely operated a 26’ mechanical lift to access all elevated lighting points
• Troubleshot defective emergency lighting circuits to confirm wiring and power integrity
• Removed nonfunctional exit sign combo units from designated locations
• Installed and wired six customer-supplied exit sign combo units
• Verified functionality of both exit signage and emergency light backup operation
• Cleaned up the work area and confirmed with facility staff that all units operated properly

THE RESULT:
The commercial facility now has fully functional, code-compliant exit and emergency lighting throughout. The new exit sign combos provide reliable illumination during both normal operation and power outages. By using the lift, our technicians were able to work quickly and safely at height, ensuring that the business remains compliant with fire and building codes while maintaining a safe environment for employees and visitors.
