About
Established in 1946 and now 950 employees strong, Intermountain Electric (IME) brings nearly 80 years of commercial and industrial electrical expertise to Reno, NV and the broader Nevada market. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quanta Services — the largest specialty contractor in North America — IME delivers the resources and technical depth that facility managers, property managers, and general contractors demand on complex, high-stakes projects. IME's Reno operation specializes in power distribution, switchgear installation and renovation, panelboards and breakers, commercial lighting systems, backup power, and low-voltage/data infrastructure. Their project portfolio spans critical environments including healthcare campuses, data centers, hospitality properties, industrial and manufacturing facilities, and institutional buildings — making them a strong fit for the diverse commercial real estate mix across the Reno-Sparks metro and Northern Nevada. Notable completed work includes data center electrical for Switch, healthcare electrical at Carson Tahoe Hospital, and award-winning central utility plant upgrades at major aviation facilities — demonstrating proven capability in mission-critical and occupied-facility environments where downtime risk is unacceptable. IME supports both new construction and ongoing facility operations. Their construction services include conceptual estimating, design-assist, design-build, BIM coordination, prefabrication, and value engineering — capabilities that reduce schedule risk on ground-up and renovation projects alike. On the service side, IME offers 24/7 on-call response, service agreements, emergency electrical repairs, and a dedicated single point of contact — a structure that aligns well with multi-building portfolios and facilities requiring rapid-response support. Their 0.67 EMR safety record reflects a disciplined field operation, a meaningful metric for facility managers managing contractor risk on occupied properties. For Reno-area commercial and industrial facilities requiring a contractor with national backing, deep technical capability, and a demonstrated record in critical environments, IME is a credible long-term electrical partner.
