Restaurants, cafés, and food service providers rely on carefully designed electrical systems that power kitchen equipment, lighting, climate control, and point-of-sale technologies.

The fast-paced nature of the food industry demands wiring that can safely handle high loads and frequent use without risk of outages or hazards. Reliable electrical infrastructure supports food safety, employee productivity, and an inviting atmosphere for guests. Proper lighting enhances food presentation and customer experience, while wiring solutions must accommodate everything from refrigeration units to cooking appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Why do my lights keep flickering in the office or retail space?
Flickering lights in a commercial property can be caused by several issues, such as loose wiring, overloaded circuits, voltage fluctuations, or failing ballasts in fluorescent lighting. If the problem is consistent or affecting multiple areas, it’s important to have a licensed electrician inspect the system to prevent potential fire hazards or electrical damage.
What causes frequent tripping of breakers in my business?
Constant tripping can indicate that your electrical system is overloaded, especially if you’ve recently added new equipment or appliances. It may also signal a short circuit or ground fault. In a commercial setting, this is not just inconvenient—it can disrupt operations. An assessment from a certified commercial electrician can determine if an upgrade or repair is needed.
Is my commercial building at risk if the electrical system hasn’t been inspected in years?
Yes. Without regular inspections, you could be at risk of non-compliance with Ontario Electrical Safety Code regulations, which could affect insurance, lead to unexpected power failures, or even pose fire risks. Commercial properties—especially older buildings—should be inspected every 3–5 years or sooner if issues arise.
Can adding new equipment overload my current electrical setup?
Yes. New machinery or electronics may exceed the capacity of your existing system. A load assessment can help determine if an upgrade or reconfiguration is needed.
How often should a commercial electrical system be inspected?
It's recommended to have a licensed electrician inspect commercial systems every 1–3 years, depending on the building’s age, usage, and previous maintenance history.
