Preston Link Electric
Preston Link Electric is a family owned and operated electrical contractor in Gainesville, Florida, founded by Jay Linkenhelt after he moved to Gainesville from his home state of Indiana. The company has been providing residential electric service in and around Gainesville for over 30 years and works across three areas: homes, businesses and industrial plants. Residential work runs from changing a light switch to whole-home renovations, and includes light fixtures, landscape lighting, receptacles, ceiling fans, pool wiring and full remodels. Commercial work covers outside and parking lot lighting, fire alarms, exit signs, signage, communication systems, card readers and camera and security systems, while the industrial side handles power distribution, machine installation, preventative maintenance, industrial controls and plant maintenance. Preston Link Electric also installs whole home and commercial generators, handles storm and hurricane repair, and uses infrared cameras to locate shorts, overheating and bad wiring connections during rewiring work. The company says it is bonded, licensed, insured and a drug-free workplace, stays up to date on training and OSHA requirements, and hires its own electricians rather than subcontracting out electrical work.
