Commercial Remodels

Remodeling your business or tenant building can be an important and costly undertaking. Whatever your needs for a newly renovated commercial building, a certified electrician can help.

What is Electrical for Commercial Remodel?

Electrical work for a commercial remodeling project requires experience and a high-quality job. If you have plans for renovating your business, restaurant, office space, or tenant building, a certified electrician can help at every step of the way to ensure your electrical service is safe, reliable, and effective for your business’s needs.

Why Would I Need a Certified Electrician For Commercial Remodel?

Whether you’re upgrading your current place of business or remodeling an existing one, a certified electrician can help make sure your location meets your needs. Commercial electrical work can be complex, large-scale, and higher voltage than residential work, especially in an existing commercial building. Adding new services and electrical demands to an existing commercial building can require an experienced electrician to integrate new electrical wiring and features of many different kinds. A certified electrician can also ensure your remodel is long-lasting with the right high-quality materials that meet the demands of your business every day.

Frequently Asked Questions about Residential Contracting

Can you evaluate my current electrical system and tell me if it can handle the increased load after the remodel?

Yes. We perform a full assessment of your existing service, panels, wiring, and connected loads to determine whether your system can safely support the added demand. If upgrades are needed, we’ll provide clear recommendations before any construction begins.

Are there any safety issues with using existing wiring, panels, or breakers that must be corrected before starting cosmetic work?

Absolutely. Before walls or finishes go up, we verify that all existing electrical components meet current code and safety standards. If we find outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or panel issues, we address them early to prevent hazards and costly rework.

How will the electrical work be phased so my business can stay open or minimize downtime during construction?

We coordinate with your contractor and schedule work in phases, isolating areas so operations can continue whenever possible. We offer off-hours and weekend work when needed to reduce disruption to your staff, customers, or production.

Will we need dedicated circuits for specific equipment like kitchen appliances, data racks, or medical devices, and where should those go?

Yes. Specialized equipment often requires its own dedicated circuits for safety and performance. We review your equipment list, plan the proper locations, and size circuits to meet manufacturer requirements and future expansion.

Can you help design a lighting layout that is energy-efficient but still bright enough for staff and customers?

Definitely. We design lighting layouts using modern, high-efficiency LED fixtures that deliver the right brightness and color temperature for your space. We also offer dimming, controls, and smart-sensor options to reduce energy costs.

Are there any known issues with panel brands or ages that would make replacement a safer option than expansion?

Yes. Some older or discontinued panel brands—such as Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or certain early-generation equipment—are known to have reliability and safety issues. If your existing panel falls into one of these categories or is at capacity, replacement is usually the safest and most cost-effective option.

How do you estimate the electrical load for my future needs, including added technology, EV chargers, or additional workstations?

We calculate load based on current code requirements, your existing equipment, and any planned expansions. We also incorporate future-growth allowances so your system can support added stations, new technology, or EV charging without costly rework later.

What are the options for backup power or battery storage if I want to maintain operations during outages?

We offer solutions including standby generators, battery storage systems, and UPS units for critical circuits. We help determine the right size and placement based on your business’s needs and local code requirements.

Will the remodel require permits and inspections, and do you handle that process for the electrical portion?

Yes. Commercial remodels typically require electrical permits and inspections. We handle all permitting, scheduling, and coordination with local inspectors to ensure your project passes code requirements.

Do you provide surge protection or power conditioning solutions for sensitive electronics, and where would those be installed?

Yes. We install whole-building surge protection at the service panel, as well as dedicated surge or conditioning equipment for sensitive systems like data racks, POS systems, and medical devices.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance or periodic inspections after the remodel to help prevent future outages or safety issues?

We do. We offer on-call support to ensure your electrical system continues running safely and reliably long after the remodel is complete.

Are there ways to futureu2011proof the space now, such as extra conduit, spare circuits, or flexible layouts for tenant changes?

Yes. During the remodel, we can add spare circuits, extra conduit paths, oversized panels, and flexible wiring layouts to make future expansions or tenant changes faster and more affordable.
