Electrician for Retail Stores and Restaurants on Long Island

Sign and parking lot lighting, kitchen and dedicated equipment circuits, exit lights and multi-location pricing, scheduled around your hours of business.

A dark sign, a dead walk-in or a tripping kitchen circuit costs a store or restaurant money by the hour. No Shorts Electric has worked with Long Island retailers, restaurants and franchise operators since 1984, and we schedule repairs for the quiet part of our 7 AM to 8 PM window so you are not closing the dining room to fix an outlet.

For operators with more than one location, we keep one rate structure and one contact across all of them, so the manager at each store calls the same number and gets the same answer.

What we handle for stores and restaurants

Sign, canopy and parking lot lighting repair, photocell and timer replacement, LED conversions with utility rebate pre-approval.
Dedicated circuits for ovens, refrigeration, POS systems and display equipment, sized and documented for the equipment on the schedule.
Kitchen and bar circuits, GFCI protection where code requires it, and troubleshooting for the breaker that keeps tripping.
Exit and emergency lighting tests and repairs, logged for inspection.
Fit-out electrical for new locations and remodels, with permits and inspections handled.

Scheduling around trade

Tell us when the store is quietest and that is when we come. Repairs that cannot wait are dispatched during business hours; lighting surveys and planned work are booked outside your peak. Every job ends with a note to the manager and an invoice that names the location.

Questions managers ask

Can you fix our sign lighting?

Yes. Channel letters, cabinet signs, canopy and parking lot fixtures, including conversions to LED.

Do you work with franchise approval processes?

Yes. We provide the insurance, license and W-9 documents most franchisors require and follow the brand’s equipment specifications.

How do you price multiple locations?

One rate structure across all locations, with a named contact and invoices that reference each store.
