Schneider Electric donates supplies to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Schneider Electric, in cooperation with Beazer Homes, recently donated all the electrical distribution equipment for the Feb. 20 episode of the ABC television show, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” The company donated Square D brand electrical distribution products like a combination service entrance device, QO load centers, and various circuit breakers.

Located in Atlanta, the home belonged to the Harvey family and was seriously damaged by a septic tank malfunction. A team of designers, contractors, and several hundred workers totally rebuilt the home in one week, and after the makeover, the home proved to be the largest project ever built on the show, totaling 5,300 sq. ft.
