Retail (W.R. Controls)
We Start by Providing the Industry's Best Integrated Facility SystemTM (IFS) Switchboard, but Our Real Business Is Handling the Complex Challenges of New Construction Rollouts.
There's More in the W.R. Controls Box
At W.R. Controls, it's not just a switchboard and a price. When you buy our box, we take ownership of the project from your order through successful start-up and operations. We become a single point of contact for "all things electrical" on your project — including logistics, parts, warranty issues, damaged shipments, energy management, and low-voltage requirements. Our business is making your electrical problems go away — even after installation.
The W.R. Controls IFS Switchboard
It's flexible — handling stores from 900—250,000 sq. ft. It's easily custom designed to meet your exact requirements for now — and for the future. The IFS Switchboard features a 30—50% space savings, low-voltage capability, and arrives in one shipment to facilitate fast, no-problem installation.
Bringing Cost-Saving Ideas to the Drawing Stage
There's a powerful dynamic that takes place when the expertise of your engineering firm, your understanding of your facilities, and our understanding of the industry's most full-featured Integrated Facility System (IFS) begin to collaborate. This process often brings fresh features, functionality, cost savings, and installation simplification to the drawing and design phase.

Project-Ownership — Not Project Management!
Project ownership means working with you on every detail and the ultimate, on-time, on-budget operation of your electrical system. At W.R. Controls we "own" the project so you don't have to.
One Person, One Phone Call for All the Answers You Need
You will have one person fully committed to your project — one person who will know more about the electrical portion of the project than you will. Answers and scheduling information will always be one phone call away.
An IFS Switchboard Provider that Manages Construction Schedules?
Your construction schedules are always changing. We know that. That's why we manage that information daily and provide pre-purchase order tracking and "red flag" alerts. Before lead times become critical, you will be alerted to order your IFS Switchboard.
Being Lowest Cost Is All about Stopping Change Orders
The complexity of local building codes, last minute changes, and miscommunications that happen in the heat of the project make drawing errors more common than you might think. W.R. Controls has been extremely effective in minimizing and often eliminating change orders by using a painstaking print verification process. Stopping the painful chain of expenses related to change orders is why W.R Controls continues to be the industry's lowest-cost electrical system provider
