Commercial Electrical Repair and Troubleshooting
Dispatch inside business hours for commercial electrical faults: tripping breakers, dead circuits, flickering lights, failed equipment connections and intermittent problems, diagnosed and repaired by licensed electricians.
When a circuit dies in a store, an office or a warehouse, the first question is whether anyone can come today. No Shorts Electric dispatches commercial repairs inside our 7 AM to 8 PM window, seven days a week, across Nassau and western Suffolk. The technician diagnoses the fault, explains it, quotes the repair and fixes it with your approval.
Common commercial faults
- Breakers that trip under load: overloaded circuits, failing breakers, shorted equipment or a loose neutral.
- Dead outlets or circuits: tripped GFCI protection, failed connections, damaged conductors.
- Flickering or dimming lights: loose connections, failing drivers, voltage problems on one phase.
- Equipment that will not start: control circuit, disconnect or motor connection faults.
- Intermittent problems that only appear at certain times or loads.
Small jobs on the same visit
Most commercial repair calls end with a short list of small jobs the building has been putting off. We do them on the same visit when you want them done, quoted first.
- Switch and receptacle replacement, quad receptacles, USB receptacles, and GFCI installation or replacement where code or water requires it.
- Three-way, dimmer and timer switch installation and replacement.
- Breaker replacement and panel labeling.
- Dedicated 20, 30 and 40 amp circuits for equipment, coolers, kitchen appliances and machinery.
- Junction box conversions, splice corrections and other code corrections an inspector or insurer has flagged.
Before the electrician arrives
Note which breaker tripped and whether it resets, what equipment was running, and whether the problem is in one area or the whole building. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips immediately; it is doing its job. If anything smells hot or shows scorching, switch it off and keep people away from it until we arrive.
How repairs are priced
Diagnosis is quoted as a service call, and the repair is quoted before the work is done. Standing commercial accounts have an agreed rate structure. We do not publish prices online.
Questions managers ask
How fast can you come?
Repairs are dispatched inside our 7 AM to 8 PM window, seven days a week. Call and the office will give you a window for today or the next available day.
Do you repair equipment or just the wiring?
We repair the electrical supply, controls and connections up to the equipment. Internal repairs to machinery or appliances are the manufacturer’s or a specialist’s job.
What should we have ready?
Access to the panel and the affected area, and a contact who can approve the repair.
