Commercial electrical work in a Los Angeles building

Commercial Electrician in Los Angeles

Panel work, tenant improvements, and lighting for LA retail, office, and small commercial spaces.

This page describes commercial electrical capability based on JE Electric's general electrical contracting scope; specific commercial project types are confirmed on a per-job basis when you call.

What Commercial Work Involves

Commercial electrical differs from residential mainly in scale and in who else is involved — landlords, property managers, and sometimes a general contractor on a tenant improvement timeline. A retail buildout in a Los Angeles strip mall or an office suite in a converted building often needs new circuits and lighting laid out around a specific floor plan, on a schedule that has to work around a lease start date or a business's operating hours.

We approach it the same way we approach residential work: check what's actually there (panel capacity, existing circuits) before quoting anything, and pull the permits the job actually requires.

Types of Commercial Work

Tenant improvements

New circuits and layout changes for a new tenant's space.

Panel & capacity work

Upgrading commercial panels for higher loads or new equipment.

Commercial EV charging

Multi-station charger installs for parking lots and structures.

What Drives the Cost

Commercial jobs are quoted off scope: square footage affected, circuit and fixture count, panel capacity needed, and whether work happens during business hours or after. Landlord and permit requirements can also add steps a residential job wouldn't have.

Why Choose JE Electric

You get the same direct communication and permit discipline on a commercial job as on a house call — we don't treat a business as a black box just because the stakeholders are different.

We take on commercial electrical projects throughout Los Angeles and in Glendale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size of commercial jobs do you take on?

Small to mid-size commercial spaces — retail buildouts, office tenant improvements, restaurants, and multi-unit properties. Call and describe the scope; we'll tell you honestly if it's a good fit.

Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting a business?

For occupied commercial spaces, we can schedule around business hours where the job allows it — ask when you call.

Do you handle tenant improvement (TI) electrical work?

Yes — TI electrical typically means new circuits, lighting, and outlets to fit a new layout inside an existing commercial shell, coordinated with the landlord's and city's permit requirements.

Can you install EV chargers for a commercial parking lot?

Yes, including the panel capacity assessment for multiple charging stations, which is a bigger load calculation than a single home charger.
