Top Electrical Components Every Industrial Facility Should Keep in Stock

mike • October 6, 2025

Industrial facilities suffer high costs from unexpected downtime. An automotive manufacturer, for example, could lose $22,000 every minute they're down, and industrial manufacturers lose around $50 billion a year due to lost time and interruptions. While some degree of downtime is inevitable, facility managers can keep it under control with on-hand inventory for fast repairs and maintenance. 


One of the most important industrial electrical inventory tips is to be ready for emergencies. Start preparing your operations by evaluating your critical electrical components stock and ordering essential components now. At Teal Electric Company, we distribute high-quality industrial electrical components to industrial sites so your team can stay ready. 


Why Stocking Critical Electrical Components Matters

When something breaks down at your facility, speed is one of the most important parts of resolving the problem. Delays for ordering and shipping the project can set back operations hours or days, causing bottlenecks, loss of customer confidence, and downstream delays that cost your organization money. Stocking critical  industrial electrical components can help:


  • Make repairs and maintenance a simple matter of locating the replacement part and installing it
  • Mitigate supply chain issues in the electronic components market and the rising costs of critical goods
  • You offer your clients more consistent lead times and forecasts
  • Reduce total facility downtime significantly


Essential Components Every Facility Should Have on Hand

Assess your facility and create a list of what components are vital for your business, so you can maintain a sufficient in-house stock. Audit your entire facility to determine which parts are business critical and how much capacity you have to keep components available in on-site storage. Industrial electrical components and electronics components to consider keeping in stock  include the following: 


  • Power connectors for DC power supplies
  • Battery connectors for mobile tools
  • Motor control components
  • Industrial equipment and control devices
  • Safety switches
  • Control power transformers
  • Disconnects
  • Circuit breakers
  • Monitoring devices
  • Contactors
  • Relays
  • Framing struts
  • Channel struts and accessories
  • Temporary power devices for severe downtime events
  • Wiring modules


Spotlight on High-Quality Brands

Stock your emergency backup electronic components and tools with components from high-quality brands you can trust. Investing in top-tier manufactured goods doesn't just reduce downtime per incident; it also lowers the total number of incidents because the parts can last longer and provide high-quality performance. Teal Electric Company distributes a large catalog of products from the following manufacturers such as:


  • Anderson Power
  • Burndy
  • Littelfuse
  • Leviton
  • Siemens
  • Unistrut


Partnering With Experts to Minimize Downtime

Evaluating your facility's unique electrical engineering parts needs can be challenging, especially without extensive data to work with about past outages and breakdowns. Instead of guessing at what parts make the most sense to keep on-site, partner with an expert manufacturer representative who can help you efficiently evaluate and forecast your needs so you maintain an inventory of the right goods at the right quantities. 

Teal Electric Company can help recommend products needed for general facility systems, major industrial equipment, and each of your service lines. We can also schedule regular deliveries of new components to keep your in-house stock ready for any emergency and continue to refine your inventory over time to best meet your company's needs. 


Secure Your Facility's Reliability With Teal Electric Company

Industrial equipment can run for months without a critical part breakdown, but electrical components wear out eventually. Preparing for outages, breakages, and faults protects your company by minimizing unscheduled downtime and quickly getting your equipment up and running once more. 


Teal Electric Company supplies manufacturers, warehouses, and industrial centers with critical components so you have fast access to a resolution every time.
