Commercial Electrical Services in Rosenberg, TX
Business owners rely on their properties’ electrical systems every day. From powering office computers to keeping the lights on for customers in a store, electricity is vital to daily operations. That’s why it’s so important for business owners to have a Commercial electrician on speed dial to help with all of their needs.
Frequently Requested Services
Electricians that work with business owners have a different set of skills and professional experiences than their peers that focus only on residential systems. Even the parts of these systems that are the same tend to differ significantly in terms of size and scope of projects.
Lighting Services
Installing, maintaining, and repairing lighting in stores, restaurants, and offices requires a specialized skill set. Most of today’s business owners prefer LED lighting thanks to its energy efficiency, but T8 fluorescents, electronic HIDs, and other options remain popular, as well. In addition to interior and exterior lighting installation services, business owners can also get help with malfunctioning light switches, fixtures, and LEDs.
Every company’s lighting needs are different. While the need for things like exit and emergency lighting is ubiquitous, most installations are highly specialized. Refrigerator lighting, hospital bed lighting, suspended fixtures, and drop-ceiling fixtures are all good examples.
Panel Services
Just like breaker boxes play vital roles in residential power supply, panels are essential for keeping businesses of all sorts powered. As businesses expand and their needs change, the panels may need to be upgraded.
The problem is that older buildings simply weren’t built to handle the larger power requirements of modern businesses. Their systems and panels were designed to handle a few circuits of up to 120 amps. Now, even small workshops pull at least 200 amps of power. Panel upgrades allow businesses of all sizes to power lights, electronics, and machinery without worrying about overloading circuits.
Safety Services
Safety is important when using electricity in any context. However, it’s particularly essential for businesses. If anything goes wrong with the power supply system, serious interruptions to business as usual can ensue. Electricians can help with installing surge protectors to avoid damaging sensitive office electronics and equipment, generators to keep the power on for refrigerators and freezers in stores, and emergency lighting systems that can guide building occupants to safety.
Inspections are also vital to ensuring safety. All fire alarms and CO2 detectors should be tested frequently and inspected by a professional at least once a year, and business owners should schedule frequent safety inspections of the rest of their systems.
Upgrades and Installations
As businesses expand, their power needs tend to increase. Modernizing a system in an older building will ensure that everything from lights and switches to sensitive electronics and machinery can be run efficiently. Sometimes, only a few minor upgrades are required like installing new lighting. Others, the whole system will have to be revamped. Contact an electrician to get a professional opinion about how to move forward.
Energy Audits
Electricians don’t just maintain the safety of power supply systems for businesses. They can also perform valuable energy audits that let business owners know where their pain points are in terms of power overconsumption. Depending on what type of business is done in a building and how old its infrastructure is, an energy audit can save a company up to 40% on monthly utility bills.
Why Work With a Specialist?
With the possible exception of small businesses being run out of residential spaces, all companies should work with specialized electricians. The problem isn’t that residential electricians don’t know what they’re doing. These industry experts are equally skilled, but they don’t have experience working at the scales required to complete installations, maintenance, and repairs of power supply systems in larger buildings or to work on specialized fixtures, wiring, and equipment.
No business owner should work with electricity in any way unless they have dedicated experience. This kind of work is dangerous, even for professionals with adequate training and safety equipment. For amateurs, a seemingly innocent mistake can wind up being deadly. Plus, the dangers don’t end when the project does. Employees, customers, and business partners could all be placed at risk in the future due to faulty installations or unprofessional repairs.
