Electrical Repair for Commercial Businesses

When something goes wrong with the electrical system in your commercial building, chances are it’s going to need some repairs. Sometimes a repair is as easy as changing a light bulb or tightening a screw, but often an electrical repair for commercial businesses is more difficult than that. Whether your building needs a small electrical repair or a large one, High Output Electric can help. 

What qualifies as a small electrical repair for commercial businesses?

Not all electrical repairs are large and difficult. A small electrical repair is one that doesn’t necessarily need to be done by a licensed electrician but can be done by any business owner. These types of repairs include changing light bulbs, tightening loose outlet connections, and fixing faulty switches. 

If a light in your commercial building stops working, the first thing you should do is change the light bulb. Chances are that the light bulb has simply gone out. If this isn’t the problem you can contact High Output Electric to figure out what’s going on. If you need to replace a light bulb more often than you should, then you may be using the wrong wattage. Try lowering the watts and see if that fixes the problem. If the lights in your home are flickering or more than one won’t turn on and it isn’t a dead bulb, contact High Output Electric. 

As a building ages, the power sockets and outlet connections tend to loosen. This can be fixed simply by tightening some screws and possibly adding a shim or two. Before doing anything with your outlets or other electrical sources, make sure to turn the breaker off and check that no power is coming through the outlet.

If a switch in your building isn’t working, you can replace that switch fairly easily. Again, make sure to turn off the breaker and check that no electricity is coming through before working on your switches or outlets. 

These are examples of common small electrical repairs for commercial businesses. If it’s something you can do yourself without advanced knowledge or complicated tools, then it’s a small electrical repair.  

What qualifies as a large electrical repair for commercial businesses?

There are a couple of things that make it a large electrical repair for a commercial business. If you need a licensed electrician to fix the problem for you, you need advanced knowledge or previous experience to fix the problem, or you need harder-to-come-by tools to properly do the repair, then it’s a large electrical repair. Often it takes all three of these to correctly diagnose and fix electrical problems. 

Here are some examples of large electrical repairs:

• Breaker keeps tripping for no clear reason
• Wires need to be stripped or replaced
• Outlets won’t work even after a replacement
• The system needs to be rewired
• There are frequent electrical surges
• Outlets or appliances shock you
• Many more!

As you can see, there are plenty of things that can go wrong with your commercial building’s electrical system. If your building is having electrical problems, it’s usually best to call an electrician and get a professional’s help. Electrical systems are dangerous, and fixing something when you have no previous experience can result in a bad shock or permanent damage to you or the electrical system. It’s always best to be careful and safe, so call High Output Electric. 

When should you call an electrician for electrical repairs? 

There are countless things that can go wrong with your electrical system. You can fix some of these things yourself, but many of them require the help of an electrician. Most homeowners don’t know much about electricity or how their home uses electricity, so most can’t be asked to fix anything that comes along. That’s what electricians are for. 

If you find yourself stumped by what to do or unable to get the proper tools needed, call High Output Electric. We would love to help you with all your commercial electrical repairs, and we promise that by the time we’re done, all your electrical problems will be gone.
