Dear Members,


As many of you already know, the state of Pennsylvania has adopted code changes that will impact the work of many of our

October 1. Calendar on white background. 3D illustration.
New Codes Take Effect 10/1/18

approved code for residential projects; in Philadelphia, commercial work will be specified to the 2017 National Electrical Code.  Jumping two and three code cycles ahead is a significant advancement and will likely require you and your employees to become familiar with the new set of standards.  EAP is already in the final planning stages to host a class which will take place late summer (learn more below).  Don't miss your change to get a jump on code changes before the busyness of September starts!

 

Wishing you and your staff great summer and a safe Fourth of July!
