Professional electricians offer the top-notch electrical services you need to keep it in good working order, and they want to ensure your business is safe and successful. It is important to choose someone with experience in commercial electrical services specifically when hiring an electrician to work on your business location, as opposed to the residential electricians, though many companies provide both services. For example, we at Simon Electric provides residential and commercial services. For our commercial clients it is important to know the distinctions between residential and commercial electrical needs to ensure your business gets the right services, and what we do for our customers.
Size of the Property
The relative size of the project is another important distinction that providers of commercial electrical services need to be aware of. Commercial property’s they are equipped with more appliances and therefore more electrical wiring since they are larger than private homes, with rare exceptions of course. While a residential one is likely to struggle, a commercial electrician will be prepared to take on projects of this scale and know how to make the necessary arrangements.
Electrical Load
Each type of property requires a different load of electricity is another distinction between commercial electrical services apart from residential electrical services. For example, residential wiring uses single-phase power, or power delivered in 120 volts. With two smaller legs operating at 120 volts and a larger one running at 208, commercial properties, on the other hand, use a three-phase system. For the best results, a commercial electrician needs to be familiar with these specific needs.
Types of Electrical Wiring
The type of wiring each has to work with is a prime difference between commercial and residential electrical services. It is typically installed in open spaces like the attic or basement and it the wiring in a private home is typically thin and sheathed in plastic. You need an electrician who is used to working with that arrangement and the wiring in a commercial property is generally housed in tube-like conduits or in the rafters of the ceiling, in contrast.
Common Electrical Services
1) Retrofits & Lighting Upgrades. With upgrade and/or a retrofit in order to save money on energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint, many commercial properties are changing the lighting. They perform the work in such a way that it does not interfere with the day-to-day operations of the business in addition to commercial electricians are not only well-trained in this area. If any panel work or special wiring is required, the tasks may be completed quickly and easily.
2) Upgrades & Electrical Panel Installation. To provide the necessary power to complete operations, commercial properties require a higher level of electrical backing. Basically, it depends on the electrical panel. Issues related directly to the electrical control panel is one of the main commercial services provided. Upgrading the current electrical panels or do a complete installation of a new electrical panel may be necessary by the commercial electrician.
