Difference between facilities and installations

If we are talking about electrical installations, when would you use "installations" vs "facilities".




The Merriam Webster dictionary defines facilities as "something (such as a building or large piece of equipment) that is built for a specific purpose", but then mentions "installations" as a synonym.



For installation, the Merriam Webster has "the act or process of making a machine, a service, etc., ready to be used in a certain place: the act of installing something" but also "something (such as a piece of equipment) that is put together and made ready for use". This last definition looks pretty similar to the one for facilities.
