Electrical service for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-unit buildings, planned around your hours and documented for your records.
Commercial electrical work requires careful planning, reliable scheduling and electricians who understand how a building is used every day. Northgate Electric serves offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical suites, warehouses and multi-unit residential buildings across the Denver metro. We handle tenant improvements, service upgrades, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits, code corrections and ongoing maintenance, and we work around your hours so your business keeps running.
Commercial spaces carry a wider range of demand than a home. A restaurant kitchen runs ovens, walk-in coolers and exhaust fans at the same time. An office floor needs clean power for computers and servers, plus lighting that meets energy code. Retail spaces need display lighting, security systems and signage, and many buildings use three-phase power that residential electricians rarely touch.
Codes are stricter too, with requirements for emergency lighting, exit signs, fire alarm coordination and accessible controls. Our electricians plan each project around the equipment you run, the people in the building and the inspections it has to pass. We document every circuit, label every panel and provide the records your property manager and insurer will ask for, so the work is as easy to maintain as it is to use.
Planning is the backbone of reliable commercial work. Before we start, we review drawings, walk the space, calculate loads and confirm what the utility and the city will require. That work prevents the most expensive surprises: a panel that cannot handle new equipment, an inspection that fails late in the schedule, or a tenant opening that slips by weeks.
We coordinate with general contractors, architects and other trades so conduit, boxes and equipment go in once, in the right place. For occupied buildings, we plan phased shutdowns during evenings or weekends and communicate every step with your team.
A safety review gives you a clear picture of the parts of your electrical system that rarely get attention. We inspect panels and switchgear for heat damage and loose connections, check grounding and bonding, test emergency and exit lighting, confirm GFCI protection in wet areas, look for overloaded circuits and extension cords used as permanent wiring, and review labelling and clearances. You receive a written report that prioritises any corrections, which also helps with insurance renewals and tenant turnovers.
We dealt with a stubborn outlet problem for months. Two other companies told us to replace the whole circuit. Northgate diagnosed a damaged connection deep inside the box and fixed it without unnecessary work. Very skilled troubleshooters.
Commercial equipment works long hours, and electrical problems rarely appear all at once. Connections loosen with heat and vibration, breakers wear, and dust builds up inside panels and motor controls. Preventive maintenance catches those problems while they are still inexpensive to fix.
Our maintenance visits include thermal imaging of panels and switchgear to find hot spots, torque checks on critical connections, breaker and GFCI testing, emergency lighting tests and a review of any new loads added since the last visit. Regular service reduces unplanned downtime, extends the life of expensive equipment and gives you documentation that supports warranty and insurance requirements.
Commercial buildings need reliable electrical service that fits around the way you operate. Whether you are planning a tenant improvement, dealing with a recurring problem or scheduling routine maintenance, call Northgate Electric at (720) 555-0142 for a site visit and a clear written proposal.
Have questions? We have answers. Find quick information about our electrical services, pricing, and safety below.
Yes, 24/7. If you smell burning, see sparking, or a breaker will not stay reset, shut the circuit off at the panel if it is safe to reach and call us. Describe what you are seeing when you call so we bring the right parts.
A written estimate fixes the price before the work starts and shows exactly what is included. It protects you from an hourly meter running while nobody explains what is happening.
Yes. LEDs use a fraction of the electricity, run far cooler, and last years longer. In older Denver homes they also reduce load on circuits that were never designed for modern demand.
Clear access to the panel and the affected area, note when the problem started, and if a breaker is involved read us the amp rating printed on it. That is usually enough for us to arrive with the right parts.
Yes. We handle scheduled maintenance, turnover repairs and code compliance across multiple units, and we invoice in a way that works for property management.
No. Extension cords are for temporary use. If a room permanently relies on one, that room needs another outlet, a cord under continuous load is a real fire risk.
A fuse burns out once and must be replaced. A breaker trips and can be reset. Both protect the circuit, but a panel still using fuses is old enough to be worth assessing.
Usually yes. Two-prong outlets have no ground, which leaves sensitive electronics unprotected and removes a layer of shock protection. Whether it is a simple swap depends on the wiring behind the wall.
Yes, and the earlier the better. Bringing an electrician in during planning is far cheaper than moving circuits after the drywall is up.
Yes. Remodel-rated housings are designed to install from below without tearing out the ceiling. Placement and joist locations decide the layout.
