Public Housing
Much of America’s public housing lacks electrical systems capable of meeting modern needs. Aging electrical systems are difficult to maintain, inadequate for the demands of today's technology and lack modern safeguards against hazards.
Eaton can help renovate and modernize public housing into safer, more comfortable homes. We offer a wide range of products and solutions that help make public housing renovations better able to support modern technology like high speed Internet access as well as providing safeguards against hazards like electrical shock and water damage. When it comes to new construction for public housing, Eaton supplies a product and service portfolio that is unmatched in the industry.

Safer kitchens and baths People can be injured by electrical shock if small appliances come into contact with water. These ground faults are a hazard most commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms during public housing renovation. Ground fault circuit interrupters help provide life-saving protection by interrupting the flow of electricity in the circuit when a ground fault occurs.
Reduced fire risk Electrical house fires claim many victims and destroy many homes every year. Concealed arcing faults, the sudden release of electrical energy, are one possible cause of fires. Eaton's arc fault circuit interrupter uses advanced technology to recognize arc faults when they happen, then interrupts the flow of electricity in the circuit to reduce the potential of igniting a fire.
Update obsolete equipment Many homes have outdated electrical fuse panels that are no longer supported by their original manufacturer. This vintage equipment can't be upgraded with modern technology to protect against common electrical hazards. Replace aging equipment with a modern Eaton loadcenter that offers protection against ground faults, arcing faults and power surges.
Protect sensitive equipment Residential power systems are at risk from surges and transient spikes in an electrical circuit caused by lightning, power grid switching and many other factors. These surges can damage computers and other sensitive equipment connected to the circuit. Eaton offers a complete line of surge protection to guard against these damaging effects.
Meet 21st century needs Many homes were not wired to handle the power demands from today's electronic equipment. Structured wiring products make it easier to distribute Internet, TV, telephone and audio signals throughout the building.
Emergency power Hurricanes, tornados and other violent weather can leave homes without utility power. Without access to power, homes are unsafe and uncomfortable and refrigerated food quickly begins to spoil. Eaton home standby generators provide a quieter, more fuel-efficient source of emergency power.
