Update retail or office spaces with new wiring, circuits and lighting to meet current code requirements and tenant needs. We design layouts that support productivity and energy efficiency.
Panel and service upgrades
Lighting retrofits
EV charger installation
Older commercial buildings may have undersized panels. Upgrading to higher‑capacity service improves safety, provides room for future equipment and reduces the risk of tripped breakers.
Converting to LED lighting can reduce lighting‑related energy costs by 50–70 % and improve light quality while meeting safety regulations and eliminating dark spots.
Install Level 2 charging stations for employees or customers. We handle permits, load calculations and infrastructure so your property can offer convenient electric vehicle charging.
Emergency and backup power
From temporary generator connections to UPS systems, we keep businesses running during outages. Our temporary power solutions include generator rentals, temporary panels, load balancing and lighting so construction sites and events stay powered.
Preventive maintenance and inspections
Scheduled maintenance plans for strata and commercial properties include load assessments, thermal imaging and electrical safety inspections to identify issues before they become costly problems.
