We’re here for you when something goes wrong. 

  • After-Hours Emergency Service 

    When production stops—or is about to—preferred service customers can reach Kraun after hours for emergency troubleshooting, equipment breakdown response and urgent repairs. Fast response helps reduce downtime.

  • Planned Shutdown Support 

    Scheduled shutdowns are for completing electrical work that can’t be done during regular operations. Kraun helps pre-plan, coordinate, and execute efficient shutdowns with your maintenance team to get your systems back online before regular operations resume. 

  • Shift Coverage

    Your operation runs nights, weekends, and holidays — and needs qualified electrical support on-site. Kraun provides electricians during your operating shifts, so your team has immediate electrical response if something goes wrong during a critical production run. 

Emergency Support

After-hours emergency service available. 

Electrical problems don’t follow business hours. A tripped panel, a piece of equipment that won’t start, an electrical fault that shuts down a production line — these things happen at night, on weekends, and on holidays. Kraun’s preferred service customers have access to after-hours emergency response when they need it most. 

  • Electrical troubleshooting
  • Diagnosing faults, tripped breakers, and power quality issues
  • Temporary power solutions
  • Keeping critical systems running while permanent repairs are arranged 
  • Equipment breakdown response
  • Urgent electrical repairs to get production equipment back online 
  • Emergency lighting and life safety systems
  • Rapid response when life safety systems are affected 

Operational continuity

Electrical coverage during the shifts that matter most.

Some facilities operate around the clock or have critical production windows at night, on weekends and during holidays. Kraun provides qualified electricians for shift coverage, giving your team on-site electrical support when downtime is not an option.

Common coverage scenarios

  • Night, weekend and holiday production
  • Critical production runs where continuity matters
  • Temporary gaps caused by vacation, leave or staffing changes
  • Unexpected electrical issues during active shifts

Who uses shift coverage 

  • Multi-shift manufacturing plants
  • Industrial facilities operating around the clock
  • Operations with critical production windows where downtime is not an option
  • Facilities without full-time electrical coverage on every shift

How it works 

  1. Share dates, shifts, and site requirements
  2. Kraun assigns a qualified industrial electrician
  3. The electrician integrates with your team and protocols
  4. Service ends when the scheduled coverage is complete.

Make the most of your planned shutdown

We provide planned shutdown support, whether you’re powering down equipment, a production line, or your entire building to perform maintenance, upgrades, inspections, or repairs. Our team works alongside yours to maximize what gets done during the shutdown.

  • Switchgear, transformer, MCC, and distribution panel upgrades 
  • Disconnecting and reconnecting equipment for machinery replacements or relocations 
  • Panel work and breaker replacements that require the system to be de-energized 
  • Lighting upgrades across production areas
  • Cable tray, conduit, and wiring work that requires production to be offline  
  • Thermal scanning and load testing as part of a broader maintenance program
  • Any deferred electrical repairs and upgrades that have been waiting for a shutdown window 

How a planned shutdown works with Kraun

01

Planning

We work with your maintenance team in advance to scope the electrical work, sequence tasks, and coordinate with other trades and facility management. 

02

Lockout/tagout

Kraun electricians follow your facility’s lockout/tagout procedures and work within your safety program.

03

Execution

We work extended hours where needed to complete the scope within the allotted timeframe.

04

Closeout

Systems are tested and verified operational before production resumes. The goal is to hand the facility back on schedule, every time.

Why facility managers trust Kraun for after-hours and critical coverage. 

Industrial experience matters at 2am

Our electricians are experienced in manufacturing and industrial environments — the environments where after-hours emergencies and shift coverage needs are most common and most consequential.

We integrate with your team

Whether we’re covering a shift or working alongside your maintenance crew during a planned shutdown, Kraun electricians follow your facility’s protocols and work as part of your team — not around it.

Responsive. Every time.

The value of after-hours coverage is only as good as the response. Kraun’s preferred service customers know we pick up the phone and we show up. That’s the relationship we build before the emergency happens.

Powering potential.
