A Commercial Electrician Who Plans Around Your Business
Downtime costs a business more than the electrical work itself. A restaurant cannot close its kitchen for a week, and a clinic cannot lose power to exam rooms. So our commercial work starts with a walkthrough where we learn how your space runs, when staff are there and what has to stay powered.
Cedarwell Electric is a family-owned electrical company in Denver, insured and run by a Colorado-licensed master electrician. We take on small and mid-size commercial projects, and you deal with one point of contact from walkthrough to final inspection.
Tenant Finish and Improvements
A new lease usually means the space is not ready for your equipment. Outlets may be in the wrong places, the panel may be too small and the lighting may be a leftover from the last tenant.
We handle the electrical side of tenant finish: new circuits, panel changes, lighting layout and the connections your equipment needs. We coordinate with your landlord, general contractor and other trades, so the electrical work lands on schedule.
Equipment Circuits for Restaurants, Clinics and Shops
Commercial equipment does not plug in like household appliances. A commercial oven, a dental chair, an air compressor or a shop machine each has a nameplate that tells us what voltage, amperage and circuit type it needs.
We install dedicated circuits sized to that nameplate, with the right disconnects, grounding and labeling. If your existing panel is out of space or capacity, we say so, and we cover the options.
Three-Phase Panels and Distribution
Many commercial spaces run three-phase power for motors, larger HVAC and heavy equipment. Three-phase panels and feeders have their own sizing, balancing and labeling rules, and mistakes here show up as tripped breakers and overheated equipment.
We install and replace panelboards, subpanels, disconnects and feeders, then label every circuit so whoever works on the building next can follow it. When you need more capacity, we also handle electrical panel upgrades and coordinate the Xcel Energy disconnect and reconnect.
Lighting Retrofits, Emergency and Exit Lighting
Old fluorescent fixtures cost money every month in maintenance and energy. LED retrofits replace them with fixtures that last longer and need fewer service calls.
Commercial spaces also need working emergency lighting and exit signs, which inspectors check. We replace failed units, add fixtures where coverage is missing and update controls like occupancy sensors. See our lighting installation page for more on fixtures and dimming.
Code Corrections and Inspection Findings
A failed inspection, a landlord punch list or an insurance finding has to be fixed by a licensed contractor. Common items include missing covers, overloaded panels, improper grounding and lighting that does not meet code.
We walk the space, scope every item and give you a written flat-rate price. Then we pull the permit, make the corrections and schedule the reinspection. You get the paperwork to close it out.
How Commercial Jobs Run With Us
- We walk the space with you and learn how the business runs.
- You receive a written flat-rate price and scope before work begins.
- We pull permits and schedule work around your operating hours.
- The electrician who quoted your job stays on the crew that does it.
- We test, label the panel, photograph the finished work and attend the inspection.
What Affects the Price of Commercial Electrical Work
We give a written flat-rate price after a free estimate. The things that move it most are:
- The size of the space and how many circuits it needs
- Whether walls and ceilings are open or finished
- The age and capacity of the existing panel and service
- Equipment loads and whether three-phase power is involved
- Permit, inspection and plan review requirements for your jurisdiction
Permits, Inspections and Documentation
Commercial permits are handled by the city or county where your building sits, and requirements differ between Denver, Aurora and the unincorporated areas. We pull the permit with whichever jurisdiction covers your address and attend each inspection.
When the job is done, you receive a labeled panel directory and photos of the finished work, plus a one-year workmanship warranty in writing. Landlords, insurers and future tenants often ask for exactly that paperwork.
Who Calls Us for Commercial Work
Our commercial customers are usually owners and managers who want a clear answer and one person to talk to:
- A restaurant adding a hood, fryer or walk-in cooler
- A clinic or office opening in a leased suite
- A shop that needs a circuit for new machinery
- A property manager working through an inspection list
- A landlord preparing a space for the next tenant
Adding EV Charging to a Commercial Property
Businesses and property owners increasingly ask about charging for employees, tenants and customers. We handle that through our commercial EV charging station installation service, starting with a capacity study of your electrical service.
