Experience and a Commitment to Satisfaction
Our unlimited supply would be reason alone to turn to American Conduit. However, we offer much, much more. We’ve been in business for nearly 40 years. There are a lot of other factors besides supply that have contributed to our longevity, with customer service being the most important.
We have a team of people we truly believe are the best in the business. They’re also experts in our products. Many customers aren’t exactly sure what kind of conduit is best for their needs. Many of them aren’t sure what diameter they need. If this applies to you, we’ll be here. Just get in touch with us and ask any questions you like. We will be more than happy to answer them, and we’ll also give you the correct answers.
Boosting the Bottom Line
Of course, no matter how great a company’s customer service might be, they can’t claim to deliver superior value if they don’t help their customers save money. American Conduit can do just that.
Aluminum conduit weighs about 30 percent less than steel. The average 10-foot length of aluminum conduit is about 34 pounds, while the same length of steel is about 100 pounds. The lighter weight translates to lower costs – not just from a materials perspective but also from a labor perspective.
How is this possible? It will take at least two workers to install steel conduit most of the time because it’s so heavy. It will only take one to install aluminum. You could assign those other workers to other installations, taking care of multiple jobs in the same amount of time it used to take one to complete. Your efficiency will skyrocket, and your labor costs will plummet.
Quality and Durability
But if you think you’ll be giving something up regarding quality, that won’t happen. Even though our aluminum is much lighter than steel, it’s just as strong. The secret lies in the special alloys we use to fortify our conduit.
Durability is another area where aluminum beats steel. Aluminum has a natural coating of aluminum oxide that protects it from corrosion. Steel doesn’t. The only way to protect steel from degrading is by applying costly coatings.
Safety is another reason why aluminum is the superior choice. If you typically install conduit in a volatile environment, you should stop using steel immediately. The reason is that steel can emit sparks – with could be a disaster. Aluminum doesn’t pose that risk. It will not spark, but it also won’t emit noxious fumes when it gets hot.
There are many reasons why American Conduit stands out from other aluminum EMT & conduit suppliers in Illinois. Learn more by contacting us online or calling 1.800.334.6825.
