than 20,000 single-family houses –
some worth up to $4 million – apart-
ments and condominiums in Southern
California, Terri Faucher notes.
The company designs lighting for all
interior and exterior areas of the home.
Its staff's strength is in working with
builders and designers to achieve dra-
matic results, it says.
"Advance electrical planning with the
Foshay team greatly reduces costs of
any future improvements," the compa-
ny says, adding that its knowledge of
products and installation techniques
enhances the beauty and value of the
home.
Foshay Electric has been impacted by
the current housing market, but fortu-
nately, one of the company's strengths is
adapting to market changes, Terri
Faucher notes.
"We are not caught off-guard," she
stresses.
For example, the company has
entered the solar power market, as well
as home automation. “We would like to
maintain market share and be diverse,"
she says. "These markets we're taking in
aren't going to be temporary avenues;
they are consumer driven and we'll be
involved from here on out. It's not a fad.
"We expect [the residential market]
to be flat through 2009," Mark Faucher
adds. "Maybe it'll pick up in the first
quarter of '10. Hopefully, it'll pick up
sooner."
Community Involvement
Foshay Electric is involved in local chap-
ters of national charities, including
Project Playhouses – which are auc-
tioned to the public – Boy Scouts and
the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Terri
Faucher says. "We do projects on an
individual scale [for the charities]," she
says. "The community is good to us, so
we want to give back to the community."
'Integrity and Superior Service'
Foshay Electric prides itself on its cus-
tomer service. "Our staff of profession-
als have been instrumental in develop-
ing our reputation for integrity and
superior service," the company says. "At
Foshay Electric, we strive to ensure our
team is the best in the field."
The company has the ability to pro-
vide repairs of all sizes, it adds. “[Our]
emphasis on the goal of service is to give
our customers a sense of confidence
through prompt response and assur-
ance that problems will be solved," the
company adds. x
