Commercial Electrical Service Changes

A commercial electrical service change typically includes upgrading or modifying the electrical service entrance to meet current and future power demands. This may involve replacing or upsizing service conductors, meters, meter sockets, main disconnects, panels, and switchgear, as well as coordinating with the local utility and authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The goal is to ensure your building has sufficient, safe, and code-compliant electrical capacity.

We recommend a visual inspection annually and a more thorough inspection every 3–5 years, depending on the environment and load conditions. Facilities with high usage, sensitive equipment, or harsh conditions may benefit from more frequent inspections. Regular maintenance helps identify loose connections, heat issues, or component wear before they become costly problems.

Yes. We offer ongoing service and maintenance options tailored to commercial properties. These can include scheduled inspections, thermal imaging, load checks, and priority response for service calls to help protect your investment and reduce unexpected downtime.

Common indicators include frequent breaker trips, voltage fluctuations, overheating panels, limited spare breaker space, or the need to use extension cords and power strips. A formal load calculation and on-site evaluation will confirm whether your existing service is adequately sized for your current and planned equipment.

A full upgrade is typically recommended if the panel is obsolete, damaged, overloaded, or no longer supported by the manufacturer. If the panel is in good condition and has available capacity, it may be possible to safely extend it. We evaluate condition, code compliance, capacity, and long-term reliability before making a recommendation.

Signs include rust or corrosion, discoloration, burning smells, excessive heat, buzzing sounds, loose breakers, cracked insulation, or evidence of moisture intrusion. Any of these issues should be addressed promptly to avoid safety risks or unplanned outages.

An upgraded service provides increased capacity, improved voltage stability, and room for additional circuits. This ensures new equipment operates reliably, reduces nuisance tripping, and supports modern power needs such as high-efficiency HVAC systems, IT equipment, and specialized machinery.

Absolutely. We perform load studies and capacity planning to evaluate both current usage and future expansion. This helps owners and property managers make informed decisions that avoid repeated upgrades as tenant needs change.

Yes, commercial service changes require permits and inspections. We handle the permitting process, coordinate inspections, and work directly with the utility company and local inspectors to ensure everything is completed correctly and efficiently.

Yes. Service upgrades are an ideal time to add circuits, panels, and receptacles to support tenant improvements, office reconfigurations, and future equipment without major additional disruption.

Yes. We can incorporate LED lighting upgrades, occupancy sensors, daylight controls, and lighting control systems as part of the project to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance occupant comfort.

We provide a workmanship warranty on labor and pass through manufacturer warranties on all installed equipment. Warranty specifics are clearly outlined in your proposal so you know exactly what is covered.

Yes. We provide updated panel schedules, circuit directories, and as-built documentation as part of the project. Clear documentation makes future maintenance, troubleshooting, and tenant improvements faster and more cost-effective.
