Diagnostics first

Permits handled
Permits, utility coordination and inspection sign-off taken care of for you.
Commercial Service Upgrades
More capacity without shutting the building down
Added tenants, new equipment, EV charging or a change of use, and suddenly the gear is at capacity. We plan the upgrade around occupancy rather than around our convenience.
Switchgear & Distribution
Main switchboards, distribution panels and MCC work replaced or expanded with phased shutdown planning.
Tenant Metering
Meter stacks, tenant subpanels and separate metering for multi-tenant buildings and new demising walls.
Transformers
Dry-type transformers and step-down distribution added to serve new equipment or a different voltage.
Surge & Protection Coordination
SPDs, correct breaker sizing and clearance corrections so the new gear is protected and inspectable.
Permits & Utility
AHJ permitting, utility applications, disconnect scheduling and final inspection handled by us.
How a commercial upgrade is planned
In an occupied building the shutdown plan is the project. Everything else is logistics around it.
- 1Capacity study
Recorded demand, existing gear condition, available fault current and what the building actually needs going forward.
- 2Utility and permitting
Load letter, utility design, permit and long-lead equipment ordered early so the schedule is realistic.
- 3Phased shutdown plan
Tenant notifications, temporary feeds where required, and cutover windows planned with tenants in advance.
- 4Cutover and inspection
New gear energized, circuits transferred and labeled, inspection completed and as-builts handed over.

Commercial Service Upgrades FAQs
Commercial upgrade questions
How long does a commercial service upgrade take?+
Field work is often one to two weeks, but switchgear lead times and utility scheduling usually set the calendar. Starting the utility application and equipment order early is the single biggest schedule lever.
Can you upgrade the service while tenants stay open?+
In most buildings, yes, using temporary feeds and phased cutovers planned with tenants in advance. We build the tenant impact plan into the proposal rather than discovering it mid-project.
Do we need an arc flash study?+
If you are replacing or modifying switchgear, an updated study and labeling is both a code expectation and a real safety issue for anyone working on the gear. We coordinate it as part of larger projects.
Our building is 208V and new equipment needs 480V. Options?+
Either a step-up transformer serving that equipment or a service change to 480V with step-down transformers for existing loads. Which one wins depends on how much of your load is at each voltage.
Who handles the Rocky Mountain Power side?+
We do. Load letters, applications, design coordination and disconnect scheduling are part of our scope. Utility fees are theirs, and we identify those costs up front.
