Brooklyn Commercial Electrical Contractor for Businesses

Reliable Commercial Electrical Services Across Brooklyn

Every Brooklyn business depends on a reliable, properly designed electrical system. Whether you are opening a new restaurant in Williamsburg, renovating an office in Downtown Brooklyn, or upgrading a retail space on Atlantic Avenue, the quality of your electrical installation directly affects your operations, safety, energy costs, and code compliance.

Brooklyn Electrical Experts is a full-service commercial electrical contractor serving businesses throughout Brooklyn. Our licensed electricians have the expertise and equipment to handle projects from simple office rewiring to complex three-phase industrial installations. We understand NYC’s demanding commercial building codes and handle all permitting and inspections so your project stays on track and fully legal.

Commercial Electrical Expertise for Every Industry

We have wired and maintained electrical systems for virtually every type of Brooklyn business. Each industry has unique electrical requirements, and our broad experience means we understand what your specific business needs before we even start the design process.

Restaurants and food service operations require three-phase power for commercial ovens and refrigeration, high-amperage circuits for cooking equipment, explosion-proof wiring in certain kitchen areas, and sophisticated lighting that creates the right dining atmosphere. Retail stores need flexible lighting systems, abundant power for displays and point-of-sale equipment, and security system wiring. Office spaces require distributed power for workstations, dedicated circuits for server rooms and IT equipment, and energy-efficient lighting with occupancy controls.

Tenant Improvement and Build-Out Electrical

Tenant improvements represent the most common commercial electrical work in Brooklyn. When a business moves into a new space, the existing electrical system almost never matches the new tenant’s needs. We transform raw commercial spaces into functional business environments with properly designed and installed electrical systems.

The Build-Out Process

A successful commercial build-out begins with understanding your business operations. We meet with you, your architect if you have one, and your general contractor to review floor plans and discuss power requirements. We then create a detailed electrical plan that includes panel sizing and location, circuit layouts for equipment and outlets, lighting design and control systems, data and communication conduit, and emergency lighting and exit signs.

Our plans are designed to meet all NYC commercial building codes and the specific requirements of your industry. A medical office has different code requirements than a restaurant, and a manufacturing space has different needs than a retail store.

Coordination With Other Trades

Commercial construction involves multiple trades working in the same space. As experienced commercial electricians, we coordinate closely with plumbers, HVAC contractors, fire suppression installers, and general contractors to ensure electrical rough-in happens at the right time and in the right locations. Poor coordination is one of the leading causes of construction delays and cost overruns.

We work from detailed schedules and communicate proactively with your general contractor or project manager. If you are managing the project yourself, we can help establish a construction sequence that keeps all trades productive and prevents conflicts.

Three-Phase Power Installation

Many commercial operations in Brooklyn require three-phase electrical service for heavy-duty equipment. Three-phase power provides more efficient power delivery for motors, compressors, commercial ovens, and other high-demand equipment. It is essentially how the commercial electrical grid delivers power to businesses that need more than standard single-phase residential service.

When You Need Three-Phase

If your business uses commercial kitchen equipment with large motors, industrial machinery or manufacturing equipment, large HVAC systems, or high-capacity electrical panels exceeding 200 amps, you likely need three-phase power. We determine whether your existing service is single or three-phase, calculate your load requirements, and coordinate with ConEdison for service upgrades when needed.

The Upgrade Process

Upgrading to three-phase power in Brooklyn involves several steps. We file a service application with ConEdison specifying your power requirements. ConEdison evaluates whether the building’s existing infrastructure can support three-phase delivery. We install a three-phase main panel and distribution equipment, wire all three-phase equipment with proper conductors and protection, and coordinate the ConEdison meter installation and service activation.

This process can take several weeks to several months depending on ConEdison’s workload and whether street-level infrastructure upgrades are needed. We manage the timeline and keep you informed at every stage.

Restaurant and Food Service Electrical

Brooklyn’s vibrant food scene means we wire a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, and food production facilities. Restaurant electrical is a specialty that requires understanding commercial cooking equipment power requirements, fire and health code electrical requirements, and the unique aesthetic lighting needs of dining spaces.

Commercial Kitchen Wiring

A commercial kitchen is one of the most electrically demanding spaces in any building. Each piece of equipment from convection ovens to walk-in coolers to hood ventilation systems has specific voltage, amperage, and circuit requirements. Many pieces of commercial kitchen equipment require dedicated circuits that cannot be shared with other equipment.

We create detailed equipment schedules listing every piece of kitchen equipment with its electrical specifications, then design the panel and circuit layout to serve each item with proper capacity and protection. This planning prevents the common restaurant problem of tripping breakers during busy service periods.

Dining Room and Bar Lighting

The dining experience is heavily influenced by lighting. We install lighting systems that create the ambiance your restaurant concept demands, from bright and energetic fast-casual environments to intimate fine-dining atmospheres. Dimming systems allow you to adjust lighting throughout the day, from bright lunch service to romantic evening settings.

We also install the required emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs that meet NYC fire code without disrupting your design aesthetic.

Commercial Lighting Design and Installation

Lighting affects everything in a commercial space: employee productivity, customer experience, merchandise appearance, and energy costs. We design and install commercial lighting systems that balance function, aesthetics, and efficiency.

Energy-Efficient Commercial Lighting

Modern LED technology offers dramatic energy savings compared to fluorescent and HID lighting that still exists in many Brooklyn commercial buildings. A well-designed LED lighting system can reduce lighting energy costs by 50 to 75 percent while providing better light quality and longer fixture life.

We design commercial lighting using a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting tailored to your space and operations. Lighting controls including occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and scheduling automation ensure you are never paying to light empty spaces.

24/7 Commercial Emergency Service

When your business loses power or experiences an electrical emergency, every minute of downtime costs you money. We provide round-the-clock emergency response for Brooklyn businesses with fast response times and the expertise to diagnose and repair commercial electrical problems quickly.

Common commercial emergencies we handle include main breaker trips and power loss, burning smell or sparking in panels or equipment, partial power loss affecting business operations, and failed emergency lighting or fire alarm circuits.
