Commercial

Commercial electrical services for small Los Angeles properties

Storefronts, offices, restaurants, studios and small industrial space along the Jefferson, Washington and La Cienega corridors. Work sized for buildings, not for campuses.

Who we work for

Independent businesses and the people who own the buildings they sit in. Tenant improvements in retail bays, restaurant kitchen and hood circuits, office lighting and data-adjacent power, small production and creative space, and the multi-meter maintenance that comes with older mixed-use buildings. We are not set up for large ground-up construction, and we will refer that rather than take it.

Tenant improvements

A new tenant in an old bay usually inherits power that matched the previous use and nothing else. We work from the tenant’s equipment list backward: what has to be on a dedicated circuit, what the total demand does to the existing panel, whether the existing service supports the build, and what the permit and inspection sequence looks like against the opening date. The schedule matters as much as the scope in a tenant improvement, because rent runs whether the space is open or not.

Maintenance and thermal problems

Commercial panels fail differently from residential ones. Continuous loading, three-phase equipment, and years of added circuits produce loose terminations and heat. Periodic inspection of terminations, breaker condition and load balance across phases prevents most of the failures that otherwise happen on a Friday night.

Lighting retrofits

Replacing fluorescent troffers and metal halide fixtures with LED cuts consumption and maintenance, but the part that decides whether the retrofit is a success is light level and uniformity in the space as it is actually used. Retail, warehouse and office each want a different answer. We look at the space rather than matching fixture counts one for one.

After-hours work

Most commercial work is better done when the business is closed, and our 24-hour availability is not only for emergencies. Scheduled night and weekend work avoids lost trading hours, and for emergency failures the line is answered at any hour.

Typical commercial calls

New equipment, no capacity

Kitchen, HVAC or production equipment arriving without the circuits or service to support it.

Nuisance trips on a shared circuit

Multiple tenants or functions on one circuit that was never intended to carry them.

Heat at the distribution panel

Loose terminations under continuous load. Found by inspection, fixed before it becomes an outage.

Failing legacy lighting

Ballast and lamp failures in fluorescent and HID fixtures that cost more to maintain than to replace.

Unbalanced three-phase load

Uneven loading across phases that shortens equipment life and wastes capacity.

Deferred maintenance in older buildings

Decades of tenant modifications with no documentation. We map and label what exists.

How the work goes

  1. Site survey

    We walk the space with the equipment list and the existing distribution, then document what is there.

  2. Scope, schedule and permit

    Written scope with the inspection sequence mapped against your opening or operating schedule.

  3. Installation

    Performed in phases or after hours where continued operation matters.

  4. Documentation

    Panel schedules updated, circuits labeled, permits closed, and a record you can hand to the next contractor.

Questions about commercial work

Do you work after hours for businesses?

Yes, routinely. Scheduled night and weekend work is often the cheaper option once lost trading hours are counted.

Can you handle three-phase equipment?

Yes, for connections, circuits and distribution in small commercial buildings. Very large service work is outside what we take on and we will tell you so early.

Do you do work for landlords across multiple units?

Yes. Common-area lighting, house panels, unit turnovers and correcting items flagged during inspections are regular work for us.

Will you coordinate with our general contractor?

Yes. On tenant improvements we work to the GC’s schedule and inspection sequence, and we keep the electrical permit under our own license.
