Knights’ Electric’s TEGG Services recently helped to keep the Flamingo Resort Hotel & Conference Center in Santa Rosa up and running during an electrical upgrade by PG&E when the electricity was turned off at the hotel and the surrounding area.
On two consecutive Thursdays in June, the 14th and 22nd, PG&E cut the electrical power to the surrounding area of the Flamingo Hotel on 4th Street in Santa Rosa between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Knights’ Electric’s TEGG Services set up an 800KW generator with the necessary electrical connections to power the entire hotel while PG&E upgraded power poles and wires in the area.

The Flamingo Hotel had been an existing customer of Knights’ Electric’s TEGG prior to this incident. The Flamingo contacted Michael Saitone, Knights’ Electric’s TEGG Services Senior Sales Representative, who turned the job over to Luka Dexter, Knights’ Electric’s TEGG Services DES Sales & Project Manager.
Dexter contacted PG&E to confirm the scheduling and the load calculation for the electrical needs of the Flamingo Hotel. “We decided along with the Flamingo that the best time for us to do the switch over to the generator was between 2:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon, between lunch and dinner, when there wouldn’t be as much activity disrupted with the power down. The procedure involved connecting and running power cables from the generator to the PG&E main service panel that powers the hotel. The generated power ran for 24 hours on both Thursdays.

During one of the electrical change over nights the North Coast Builders Exchange was holding their annual dinner and inductions for their new president at the Flamingo. On an especially warm night 300 people were wined and dined as one of their members, Knights’ Electric TEGG Services, supplied the power and air conditioning for the evening. |

The new Bolinas Fire Station is located at 100 Mesa Road in Bolinas

Just in time for the most challenging months of the fire season Bolinas has a new fire station. Built by Oliver & Company, the project includes a detached community clinic situated next door.
This is the second fire station that Knights’ Electric, Inc. has worked on recently. The other one was the Geyserville FireStation completed in 2006. Both fire stations were designed by RRM Design Group. |

The 11,878 square foot facility on slightly over one acre of land is composed of two buildings. The new Bolinas Fire Station is an 8,909 square foot, one-story structure comprised of an administration office, living accommodations including dorms, kitchens, day areas, exercise and training rooms and a fire truck Apparatus Bay with ancillary spaces including a workshop and storage areas. The Community Clinic building is 2,969 square feet and includes six examination rooms, six treatment rooms and an administration area. |
Knights’ Electric installed the lighting and electrical system for the two new buildings plus an emergency backup generator and switchgear on the property with lines to the fire station and clinic. The switchgear and generator also provide power to the Mesa Park wastewater lift station located on an adjoining property. |

Knights’ Electric also installed the Digilink emergency signal and relay system that activates the P.A. system and Apparatus Bay lights when the fire alarm goes on at the fire station. Knights’ Electric’s Dan Beltran worked closely with Bolinas Fire Chief Anita Brown on the entire project, “Anita was very organized |

Oliver Ranch includes ongoing private art and sculpture exhibit with an artist’s house. Knights’ Electric works on the art installations periodically along with the buildings on the property. Knights’ Electric is also currently working with Oliver & Company on an art gallery in Geyserville. |

The Divine Affair is a wine country eatery that offers “high end picnic food” to go. Located on Healdsburg Avenue just off the downtown square in Healdsburg in a retro-fitted brick building, the Divine Affair will be opening soon.
Knights’ Electric, Inc. has completed the wiring and lighting for the restaurant, which has a complete commercial kitchen but no seating as the entire menu is “to go’. |
 |
|
Knights’ Electric installed an elegant, suspended low-voltage track lighting system with adjustable fixtures, some of which will highlight art work on the walls in the main area where customers order their food. Three gooseneck wall sconces behind the sales counter will also be used for art lighting. Knights’ Electric installed surface mounted fluorescent pendant lighting in the food preparation area. |

A Leviton D3208-1LW lighting control system was installed as a dimming system for the restaurant lighting. This Leviton system has eight lighting zones instead of six zones, which most systems offer and in the panel display each zone can be individually named. The panel also has a built-in display clock for lighting scene timing. |

Knights’ Electric installed a small, remotely mounted Q-Tran transformer behind a parapet wall above the bathroom. The high-end Q-Tran transformer has individual circuits to boost power for long runs of wire, in this case the lighting, and it is super quiet. The Q-Tran transformer can also be used in residential applications with a recessed wall mounting and wall cover. |
