Electrical Work That Keeps Businesses Operating

Commercial electrical installations, repairs, and upgrades for businesses in Everett, Washington and neighboring communities.

When electrical systems fail in a commercial space, the impact is immediate. Registers stop working, lighting goes dark, equipment shuts down, and operations halt until power is restored. Whether you manage an office building in Everett, operate a retail store, or run a light industrial facility, your electrical system has to handle higher loads, longer hours, and more devices than a typical home. Problems show up as tripped breakers during peak hours, outlets that stop working in high-traffic areas, or lighting that dims when machinery starts up.


Advantage Electric delivers electrical services for offices, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities throughout Everett and nearby commercial corridors. The work includes installing new circuits, repairing faulty wiring, upgrading panels to support additional equipment, and maintaining systems to prevent downtime. This also covers tenant improvements where spaces are reconfigured, equipment hookups for new machinery or HVAC systems, and lighting upgrades that reduce energy use or improve visibility. Every job is planned around your business schedule to minimize disruption during operating hours.


If your business in Everett, Mukilteo, Mill Creek or a surrounding area needs electrical repairs, equipment installation, or system upgrades, contact Advantage Electric to review the work and coordinate timing that fits your schedule.

How Commercial Electrical Work Gets Completed

The electrician arrives at your Everett location with the tools and materials needed to complete the job based on the scope discussed during scheduling. This might involve running new conduit to support additional circuits, replacing breakers that no longer hold under load, installing dedicated lines for equipment that requires 240-volt power, or adding outlets in areas where employees or customers need access to power. Some jobs require working after hours or during weekends to avoid interrupting daily operations.


Once the work is done, you will see circuits that handle equipment loads without tripping, lighting that stays on consistently, and outlets that work reliably throughout the space. If the panel was upgraded, your building will have the capacity to add equipment or expand operations without overloading the service. Any new wiring is routed through conduit or secured properly to meet commercial code requirements and avoid future damage from foot traffic or moving equipment.


The electrician will also test all connections before leaving and provide documentation if required for permits, inspections, or lease agreements. Some jobs may require coordination with property managers, general contractors, or other trades if the electrical work is part of a larger tenant improvement or renovation project.

Common concerns business owners bring up

These questions come up regularly when business owners or property managers are planning electrical work or dealing with issues that affect operations.

How quickly can you respond to an electrical failure?
Response time depends on the schedule and severity of the issue, but most service calls are scheduled within one to two business days. If the problem is causing a complete loss of power or creating a safety hazard, priority scheduling is available.
What does a tenant improvement electrical job include?
It typically includes relocating or adding circuits, installing lighting to match the new layout, wiring outlets where workstations or equipment will be placed, and upgrading the panel if the new configuration requires more power. The scope is determined after reviewing the floor plan and existing electrical service.
Why does the lighting dim when equipment starts up?
This happens when a high-draw device like a compressor or motor shares a circuit with lighting. Installing a dedicated circuit for the equipment prevents voltage drop and keeps lighting stable across the rest of the building.
How much does it cost to upgrade a commercial panel?
Cost depends on the size of the upgrade, whether new service from the utility is required, and how many circuits need to be moved or added. Most commercial upgrades are priced after reviewing the panel and discussing future equipment plans.
What should I do if outlets stop working in part of the building?
Check the breaker first to see if it has tripped. If resetting it does not restore power or the breaker trips again immediately, the circuit likely has a fault that needs to be traced and repaired by an electrician.

Advantage Electric works with business owners and property managers throughout Everett to plan electrical projects that support operations, meet safety standards, and fit within scheduling constraints.
