Finding the problem fast so you can stay open
When something stops working at a business, the first job is finding out why. A tripped breaker, a failed part, or a damaged wire can shut down a cooler, a register, or a whole room. Troubleshooting means we test the system step by step until we find the cause. Then we explain what failed and how we will fix it.
If the problem is urgent, we offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency service. Emergency calls reach a real person.
Larger electrical equipment, explained simply
Many commercial buildings use equipment that homes do not have. Here is what a few of these parts do:
- Transformer: changes the voltage of the power coming into a building so your equipment can use it.
- Motor starter: safely starts and stops large motors, like the ones in pumps, fans, and compressors.
- Switchgear: a group of switches and breakers that controls and protects power in a larger building.
- Power pole: carries power from the utility line to a building or another part of a property.
We install, repair, and replace this equipment. If you are not sure what you have, we can take a look and explain it. This kind of work should only be done by a licensed electrician.
LED lighting for shops and facilities
Good lighting helps workers do their jobs safely and helps customers find what they need. LED lights use less electricity than older fluorescent bulbs and usually last much longer. That means fewer burned-out bulbs and fewer trips up a ladder.
We install and upgrade lighting inside stores, offices, warehouses, and shops. We also install outdoor lighting for parking areas, entrances, and work yards. Winter evenings get dark early, and good outdoor lighting helps staff and customers come and go safely.
Ranch, farm, and shop buildings
Many businesses around St. Johns and nearby Concho are ranches, farms, and repair shops. These buildings often run heavy equipment like welders, air compressors, pumps, and coolers. As you add equipment, the original wiring may not keep up.
We can add circuits, upgrade service, wire pumps, and bring power to new buildings. If a building is far from the main power source, we may set a new power pole to reach it.
Power for new equipment
Before you buy a new cooler, oven, compressor, or other large machine, check what kind of power it needs. Every machine has a label, called a nameplate, that lists its voltage and amps. Some equipment also needs three-phase power, which is a type of electrical service common in commercial buildings.
Send us a photo of the nameplate or the spec sheet before the equipment arrives. We can tell you whether your building already has the right power or needs a new circuit or a service upgrade. Planning ahead helps you avoid having new equipment sit unused while the wiring catches up.
Working around your business hours
Your business has to keep serving customers while we work. Before we start, we ask:
- What hours you are open
- Which areas or equipment must stay running
- When the power can safely be off
Then we plan the work to keep disruptions low. Some jobs can be done after hours or in stages. For public buildings and schools, we can work with your facility manager on timing and access.
Backup power for businesses
A power outage can spoil food, stop sales, and close your doors. A standby generator is permanently installed and starts on its own when the power goes out. We install Kohler, Cummins, and Generac units. For short-term needs, such as an event or a long repair, we also rent portable generators. Learn more on our generators page.
