Our Commerical Electrical Services

  • Checkups: Regularly checking electrical systems to ensure they are functioning properly. This can include reviewing power outlets, electrical connections, air conditioners, electromechanical machines, and electrical board and circuit breakers.

    Tests: Testing electrical appliances to ensure they are working correctly, including power plugs, cables, and lighting fixtures.

    Weatherproofing: Ensuring outdoor outlets and wiring are properly weatherproofed.

    Cleaning: Cleaning the outlets and light switches to remove dust and dirt.

    Code inspections: Completing all commercial electrical maintenance should include working to state-specific code and OSHA requirements

  • Repairs: Repairing or replacing damaged equipment. This can include cleaning and replacing filters, and inspecting and repairing any damaged outdoor electrical components.

  • UPS systems power on automatically in the event of an outage, whereas generators need to be manually turned on. The power supply for a UPS comes from AC mains, whereas generators convert mechanical energy into its own power. UPS systems produce zero carbon emissions making them more environmentally friendly.

  • As simple as it sounds. We offer emergency install and repair for lighting at your commercial space.

  • Custom Design Consultation: We work closely with you to understand your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and budget constraints to develop a tailored lighting design plan that enhances the beauty and usability of your outdoor areas.

    Professional Installation: Our skilled technicians execute flawless installations, utilizing industry-leading techniques and high-quality materials to ensure optimal performance and durability. Whether it's pathway lights, accent lighting, security floodlights, or decorative fixtures, we handle every aspect with precision and care.

    Energy-Efficient Solutions: We prioritize eco-friendly lighting solutions to minimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact. From LED fixtures to smart lighting controls, we offer innovative options that not only save you money on utility bills but also contribute to sustainability efforts.

    Routine Maintenance and Repairs: To preserve the integrity and functionality of your exterior lighting system, we provide regular maintenance checks and swift repairs as needed. Our proactive approach helps prevent costly issues and ensures uninterrupted operation year-round.

    Upgrades and Retrofits: If your current lighting setup is outdated or inefficient, we offer upgrade and retrofit services to modernize your system with the latest technologies and designs. Whether it's switching to energy-efficient LEDs or integrating smart automation features, we optimize your lighting for peak performance and convenience.

    Seasonal Adjustments: With changing seasons and daylight patterns, we offer seasonal adjustments to fine-tune your lighting settings for optimal visibility, safety, and ambiance throughout the year.

  • A multimeter can be used to check ballasts. Insert one probe into the wire connector, and touch the other probe to the ends of the yellow, red, and blue wires. If the needle doesn't move, the ballast needs to be replaced.

    Replace ballasts: If lights flicker or turn off, the ballast may need to be replaced. When replacing a ballast, it's important to find a replacement with the same wiring configuration and voltage rating as the original.

    Clean fixtures: Lamps should be wiped with a dry cloth, and non-metallic lamps can be wiped with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup. Grow lights and ballasts should be cleaned after each harvest.

    Check Other Components: Other replacement components should match the original. Dimming pre-sets and scene pre-sets should be checked periodically to ensure they meet original requirements.

    Replace Aging Components: Any capacitors, ballasts, lamp holders, or starters that show signs of aging should be replaced immediately.

    Service Lights: Lights should be serviced at least every three years, or whenever fluorescent tubes and HID lamps are replaced

  • Structured Cabling: Low voltage copper or fiber wiring in walls that connects computers, phones, wireless access points, cameras, and copiers to a data and phone network

    Data Cables: Cables that connect two devices to transfer data. Data cables can be broken down into three main types: twisted pair cabling, coaxial cabling, and fiber optic cabling

    Communication Cables: Low-voltage cables that transmit data and information. Communication cables can include coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, data and ethernet cables, or twisted wire pair cables

  • Install or repair your intercom system.

  • HVAC wiring connects electrical components, delivers power to controls, and delivers power to loads. A basic thermostat used with HVAC usually requires four wires: power, ground, heating, and cooling. More advanced thermostats may need more wires
