Rental spaces encompass a wide variety of commercial properties, including retail units, office suites, and mixed-use buildings that are leased to different tenants.
Because these spaces often host multiple businesses with unique electrical needs, having a flexible and dependable electrical system is essential. Proper electrical infrastructure supports tenant safety, comfort, and operational requirements, while allowing for easy modifications as tenants change or expand. Ensuring that wiring, panels, and power distribution are up to date minimizes risks such as outages, overloads, or safety hazards that could disrupt tenancy or property management.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS):
Why do some outlets or equipment lose power intermittently?
Power loss at specific outlets or machines could stem from faulty wiring, outdated panels, or circuit degradation. In commercial buildings, shared circuits or overused connections can cause power inconsistencies. This should be checked promptly to avoid productivity loss and prevent damage to sensitive electronics.
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.
