What To Expect When You Call Us In
Evaluation
An evaluation marks the beginning of each commercial electrical service call.
To identify if repair, maintenance, or replacement is required, a dedicated, licensed electrician will comprehensively inspect your commercial property and its existing electrical infrastructure. This assessment covers the circuits, outlets, wiring, electrical panel, and other core components.
Furthermore, the electrician will evaluate the electrical load demands of your facility, reviewing all currently installed appliances and lighting fixtures.
The inspection also verifies compliance with local electrical codes, ensuring any safety hazards or technical problems are detected and resolved.
Recommendation
Based on the evaluation, your electrician will recommend whether an upgrade to the existing system is necessary, or a replacement is needed. This may include upgrading the electrical panel and other major components.
Recommendations are also made for improving safety and efficiency, such as installing whole-building surge protection or GFCIs.
All recommendations are thoroughly explained and consider your needs and budget. We always provide full pricing before the work begins and you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees.
Commercial Service
Before any commercial electrical work begins, our team carefully prepares the designated area. This includes turning off power to the system, setting up necessary safety protocols, and securing all required permits.
Regardless of the project scope, our electricians are committed to keeping the workspace clean and organized, ensuring minimal disturbance to your business’s daily routine.
Following the completion of repairs or installations, the electrician will perform a detailed quality check to verify the workmanship.
