Industrial and Commercial Electrical

Without electricity, your business stops - it's as simple as that. As a business owner or key decision maker, it's important to understand the most common reasons that businesses experience trouble with their electrical circuits and the things to consider when installing or repairing the circuits that power your business.

Typical reasons businesses experience trouble with electrical circuits

The problems that businesses experience with electrical circuits are often the same as those experienced by residential clients. One common problem is overloading any branch circuit, as each branch has a specified purpose and if you exceed the limitations the circuit will fail. When repairing a circuit, the most important thing is to troubleshoot the reason why it has failed including: poor workmanship, poor quality of electrical parts, water damage from leaking roof or stucco, and tampering by a non-qualified workman. Make sure that a qualified licensed contractor like Norm Galyean Electric is performing your electrical work!

Things to consider when installing new or upgrading the circuits in your business

Commercial electrical work requires different electrical components, but the electrical theory is the same. Most commercial power is three-phase and of these there are 2 kinds - Delta and Wye. The wiring technique changes with these two systems, but the biggest difference is the material used. Commercial wiring is normally in pipe, which provides a raceway back to the panel - this means that you can add circuits or change voltage or phases by removing and replacing the wires in the conduit. It is important that you trust your business circuit install or upgrade to a professional, qualified contractor who understands the different methodologies used and can implement the correct solution on time and on budget.

Things to look for in an electrical contractor

The first thing that should be considered is how long the electrical contractor has been in business. When selecting a contractor, you want to make sure that the contractor can warranty the product and their installation without having to worry if they will be in business when you need them to repair their work. When reviewing a contractor license in the state of California, the oldest licenses start with the number 1, then 2. Norm Galyean Electric license number is 390681 - the 3 series of licenses were given between 1976 - 1982 and having this number currently means that Norm Galyean Electric has been in business since that time and has not gone through a Chapter 11 filing.
