If you’re noticing lights dimming or circuit breakers shutting off unexpectedly, it’s likely that your system is under too much stress. This often happens when older wiring or panels are expected to support modern equipment and electronics. What was sufficient 20 or 30 years ago might now be struggling to handle the demand.

When our electricians assess your system, we check for overloaded circuits, aging components, and outdated panels. Upgrading the electrical panel or redistributing the load can prevent future issues and improve the stability of your power supply.

Not Enough Outlets for Your Equipment

If your staff is relying on power strips or extension cords just to plug in the basics, your layout may need improvement. It’s not only inconvenient but also potentially unsafe. Extension cords are meant for temporary use and can easily become overloaded.

Rather than making do with workarounds, our team can install new outlets, reroute circuits, or reconfigure the electrical layout so every workspace has access to the power it needs.

Older Wiring or Panels Still in Use

Many commercial buildings still rely on outdated systems that were installed decades ago. If your building still uses a fuse box or has aluminum wiring, it’s time to consider a replacement. These systems can pose fire risks, may not meet current code, and typically can’t handle modern energy use.

Our licensed electricians are trained in full system upgrades. We’ll bring your building up to today’s standards using high-quality materials and proper installation techniques, giving you peace of mind and long-term reliability.

Equipment Isn’t Performing as It Should

Power surges, voltage drops, and inconsistent current can cause computers, printers, and machines to shut down or malfunction. You might not always connect these issues to the electrical system, but poor power quality is often the cause.

We can inspect your building’s wiring, grounding, and electrical load to find the source of the problem. Our services include installing dedicated circuits for sensitive equipment, ensuring each system operates safely and consistently.

Planning for Growth or Changes

If you’re renovating, adding more employees, or updating equipment, your current setup may not be enough. Even if things are working fine now, changes in layout or usage can quickly overwhelm an older system.

Whether you’re remodeling office space, building out a new warehouse, or upgrading lighting, we can help prepare your electrical system for what's next. From service upgrades to new construction wiring, B-Town Electric handles it all.

What a Commercial Upgrade Involves

An upgrade starts with a full evaluation of your building’s current setup. We review everything from the main panel to wiring, outlets, and capacity. After assessing your needs, we’ll recommend a clear path forward that fits your schedule and budget.

During the upgrade, our goal is to keep your business running with as little disruption as possible. We plan work around your hours, use efficient methods, and maintain a clean, safe work environment.
