How Do I Know If My Commercial Building Needs an Electrical Upgrade?

If you're wondering whether your commercial building needs an electrical upgrade, here are some key signs to look out for:

• Frequent Circuit Breaker Tripping: If breakers are often tripping, your system may be overloaded or outdated.
• Flickering or Dimming Lights: This suggests your system can't handle the electrical load.
• Outdated Wiring: Older wiring types (like knob-and-tube) are unsafe and need replacing.
• Increased Power Demands: New equipment or machinery may require an upgraded system.
• Overuse of Extension Cords: Relying on extension cords for regular use signals insufficient outlets.
• Burning Smell or Discolored Outlets: These are major safety hazards requiring an upgrade.
• Non-Functional Outlets: Multiple outlets that don’t work can indicate system failure.
• Non-Compliance with Current Codes: If your system doesn’t meet codes, an upgrade is necessary for safety.
• High Energy Bills: An inefficient system can contribute to rising energy costs.
• Old Building: If your building is 30+ years old, it may be due for an electrical upgrade.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to consult with a licensed electrician to assess whether an upgrade is necessary for your commercial property.
