Data centers demand unyielding uptime. While construction sets the foundation, long-term reliability depends on the service that follows. Hunt Electric's Service Division brings decades of expertise to ensure that mission-critical environments continue to run at peak performance long after construction is complete.
Why Data Center Service Matters
- Uptime is Everything: A few minutes of downtime can mean millions in losses. Proactive service reduces unplanned outages, protects against cascading failures, and extends equipment life.
- Unique Challenges: Data centers are highly complex, always-live environments. Service providers must work without disrupting operations or compromising redundant systems.
- Beyond Maintenance: Modern data center service is not just fixing a problem; it's about anticipating them. Planned inspections, predictive testing, and strategic shutdowns ensure seamless integration with redundant backup systems.

- Trusted Partnerships
- Many of Hunt's service relationships extend for years beyond initial construction.
- Ongoing support includes not just electrical and technology maintenance, but also client education and infrastructure planning to maximize ROI on assets.
Technology Service & Integration
Modern data centers depend as much on connectivity and monitoring systems as they do on power. Hunt Electric's Technology Service offerings ensure that both sides of the infrastructure work together seamlessly.
- Low-Voltage Expertise: Structured cabling, fiber optics, DAS, and networking support.
- Critical Systems Service: Maintenance for fire alarms, security systems, and monitoring infrastructure.
- Data Center Connectivity: Ensuring communication system redundancy and scalability.
- Future-Proofing: Support for adds, moves, and changes as facilities expand or adapt to evolving needs.
Our dual capability provides clients with a single point of contact for both electrical and technology services, reducing complexity, ensuring coordination, and increasing reliability.
Data Center Service in Action
Hunt Electric's service teams manage highly complex environments where:
- Backup and redundant power systems require flawless integration.
- Fire alarm systems need adds, moves, or changes.
- Shutdowns are coordinated across multiple stakeholders to prevent downtime.
A proactive service team can mean the difference between a smooth operation and a costly disruption.
The Hunt Advantage
- Integrated Expertise: Our background in both construction and service allows us to anticipate vulnerabilities others miss.
- Scalable Solutions: From quarterly inspections to full-service data center maintenance programs.
- Long-Term Reliability: Commitment to evolving with your infrastructure as technology, redundancy, and capacity demands grow.
Building a data center is just the beginning. The real test of success comes after construction, when uptime, reliability, and client peace of mind are on the line. Hunt Electric's Service Division provides the preventative strategies, technical expertise, and trusted partnerships needed to keep mission-critical facilities operating without compromise.
