Misalignment is the quiet killer of rotating equipment.

Bearings wear faster. Seals leak sooner. Energy bills creep up. And the failure shows up months later, far from where it started.

The Fluke Corporation 832 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool brings precision alignment within reach of every technician on your team, not just the specialist:

→ Guided, step-by-step workflows. Enter dimensions, take measurements, see actionable results.
→ 8-point active clock measurement to reduce shaft play and backlash errors
→ Live Move corrections in real time
→ 8-inch Gorilla Glass display, 11-hour battery, IP65 rated, 1.2 m drop tested
→ Cloud sync to ARC 4.0 software so the field and the reliability team see the same data

Talk to your Capital Electric rep about how the 832 fits in the toolkit.

Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW Posts are more than buildings. They’re places where veterans come together to share stories, find camaraderie, and build a community.

Through our parent company Sonepar USA’s Bright Lights Brighter Futures program, we’re helping make those spaces brighter, more comfortable, and more welcoming.

Capital Electric is awarding a free lighting upgrade to a local VFW post, including materials, installation, and recycling with help from our partners Acuity Inc., Cooper Lighting Solutions, and PSG Energy Services.

Know a VFW Post that could benefit from better lighting and lower energy costs?�

The label calls for higher-rated PPE than what's on the truck. The right call costs you an hour. The wrong one costs more than that.

ESFI's 2026 Electrical Safety Month is built around a simple idea: being a qualified worker means being willing to stop the job. Not for the easy reasons. For the ones that cost time, or a tough conversation with the customer.

Reading the label and acting on it is the job. 🦺

Your crimper fit fine on the workbench. It doesn't fit in the panel.

The Milwaukee Tool M18 ForceLogic Commercial Crimper & 750 MCM Cable Cutter has an in-line, open-jaw design that works where U-shape tools can't, and it cuts up to 750 MCM copper or 1000 MCM aluminum with the same tool.

One tool. Tighter panels. Cleaner crimps.

Waiting 20+ weeks for a switchboard? That's a project killer.

FlexSeT from Schneider Electric is a modular, digitally configured low-voltage switchboard that's built to ship faster, flex with last-minute changes, and meet UL 891 without the typical lead-time pain.

Even better: we assemble them right here at our Upper Marlboro, MD CDC, with local support from the Capital Electric team.

Faster delivery. Real dates. Local hands on the build.

This Mother's Day, we're celebrating moms, because moms make the world go 'round. Moms keep us grounded. Moms light up our world. To the moms doing both out there with us, today's especially for you.

Here's how we're saying thanks to mom this year: drop a photo in the comments of you and your mom (or the mom in your life), and tell us what makes her special to you. We'll randomly pick three of you and send some Capital swag your way.

Whether she's right beside you, cheering you on from home, or watching over you from somewhere else, today's hers.

Now get out there and show mom some appreciation! ❤️

Older home, no neutral wire, twenty-two switches to swap.

The Dalia LED+ Dimmer from Lutron Electronics doesn't need a neutral. Fifteen minutes per install. Classic rotary control, LED+ technology, and a SoftGlow Locator that's easy to find in the dark.
