There are many signs that your commercial electrical services may need the help of a professional. Some of the most obvious include excessive light bulb replacement, frequent circuit breaker tripping or blown fuses, worn-out electrical outlets or light switches, and sparks or a burning smell. These are all serious issues that should be immediately addressed by a professional.

If you experience unusual circuit breaker activity, you should consult a professional. Commercial circuits can handle a larger electrical load than residential, so they shouldn’t be tripping during the course of normal daily operation. If a circuit won’t properly reset or continues to trip during regular use, this could be a very serious issue.

Flickering lights are also symptomatic of a larger problem, since this may indicate a short somewhere in the wiring. If you experience multiple flickering lights, it’s likely indicative of a larger problem within the electrical system.

Warm spots are another problem to keep an eye on because this could be an extremely dangerous electrical issue involving wiring short-circuiting. Older wires can fall victim to this when the insulation eventually wears away to expose the wires themselves. If an exposed wire touches a beam or drywall, it may heat up the area and present a dangerous fire risk. If you notice any warm/hot spots on walls or anywhere within your building, call a professional right away.

Another serious sign is a burning smell. If you experience burning in your building’s walls due to an electrical issue, the first thing you’re likely to notice is an acrid smell. Because electrical fires can spread very quickly, the sooner you call in a professional the better off you’ll be. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

A commercial or industrial electrician typically services a store, office, factory, or some other facility and uses specific troubleshooting and preventative maintenance techniques to ensure that all electrical systems are properly functioning. At Bell Solar & Electric, we understand your business’s energy is critical to your operations, so we offer a wide variety of electrical installation, maintenance, and repair services for commercial properties.

Electrical repair isn’t something you want to wait on, because a small problem can balloon into a much larger issue if not quickly corrected. Bell Solar & Electric has an emergency electrician ready to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Electrical repair can’t wait, and neither should you.

If you’re experiencing an emergency, call us immediately: 702-914-9393.

Electrical work can be very complex and dangerous without proper training. You should always hire a skilled electrician with the qualifications and experience to safely repair or maintain your electrical system rather than attempting this yourself or asking your own team to do so. Many electrical problems should only be handled with professional assistance, including faulty wiring, lights frequently burning out, dead outlets, tripping breakers, regular electrical surges, flickering lights, overloaded circuits, and not enough power outlets, among others.

This question really depends on the extent of your requirements. In jobs involving complete building rewiring or a highly dangerous situation, it’s certainly a possibility. However, we do everything in our power to successfully conclude all our jobs without the need to close down, because we strive to minimize any and all inconveniences to you and your business.

But there are also a few things you can do to streamline the process. Before reaching out to an electrician, spend a little time evaluating your business’s electrical needs. Make a comprehensive list of any electrical equipment or appliances you use or are planning to add, including any lighting. Determine where you’ll be wanting more electrical outlets or whether you plan any future additions that need electricity. Our electricians will then use this information when inspecting your building in order to accurately calculate the building’s total electrical load and the time/cost needed to complete the job.

If your planned upgrade is something simple like an additional circuit, this could potentially be accomplished by just adding a subpanel, provided your main electrical panel already supplies the power needed for the whole building. It’s also important that all your wiring is in good condition. If needed, your main electrical panel can be upgraded to 200 amps, 400 amps, or more, depending on your needs.

It may also be necessary to open some sections of walls within your building to gain access to the wiring. Because this may lead to some noise and mess, it’s best to schedule work like this during a time period that won’t affect your ability to conduct normal business. Whether you have a major outage or you’re looking to reduce your monthly power bill, we are here to handle all your commercial electrical services with the expertise to quickly identify any issues and solve them with minimal disruption to you and your business.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) documents any damage or deterioration that could pose a hazard to your building. It identifies defects or conditions that could be dangerous and provides recommendations for improving or fixing them. This critical test assesses the overall condition of your electrical system, with particular attention given to any circuit or equipment issue that could overload and overheat your system or that may result in electric shock or a fire hazard.
