A small office electrical job gets scheduled around the hours you're open, not the hours we prefer.

Desk-bank circuits

A bank of six or eight desks with monitors, docking stations and space heaters under every third chair in winter draws more than the two shared circuits most older office suites were built with in the 1990s. We run dedicated 20-amp circuits sized to the actual desk count, not a guess, and land them on quad receptacles spaced so a power strip isn't doing the job a proper outlet should. Surface conduit is often the honest answer in a leased space where opening the drywall isn't allowed under the lease, or where the landlord requires it; we'll say which applies before pricing anything.

This is small office electrical contractor work in the plainest sense: we're not touching the building's main service, just the branch circuits that feed where people actually sit.

Receptacle additions

Growing into a space usually means the outlets that came with the lease aren't where the desks ended up. Adding receptacles along a wall, behind a reception counter, or at a floor box under a conference table is priced the same way a residential outlet swap is: per device, with the price dropping per unit once you're past the third on one visit, because the setup cost of the visit is already covered by then. We'll also flag, at no charge, if an existing receptacle in a break room or kitchenette should be GFCI and currently isn't — that's a code gap we won't leave unmentioned just because it wasn't what you called about.

Decora switches go in for $0 extra when we're already opening the box for something else. Otherwise it's its own line item.

Keeping data and power separate

Running a data cable and a power conductor in the same conduit or through the same stud bay without separation causes real interference on longer runs, not a theoretical problem — a video call that stutters every time the copier kicks on is usually exactly this. Where a new circuit runs alongside existing network cabling, we keep dedicated pathways rather than sharing a chase, and we won't staple a data line to the same run as a 20-amp circuit to save fifteen minutes. If your office has an IT contractor already, we coordinate the pathway with them rather than assuming.

After-hours scheduling

Evenings and Saturdays are booked hours, the same as any residential call, at a stated flat rate for the after-hours window rather than an open-ended overtime multiplier tacked on afterward. That rate is set when you book, so there's no surprise on the invoice for the hour the work happened to land in. Floor protection and drop cloths go down before anything is cut, and we clear the area completely before the first employee walks in the next morning — no tools, no debris, no wire scraps left for someone to find at their desk.

We won't schedule work that requires shutting off power to the whole suite during business hours without confirming that with whoever runs the office first, even if the booking calendar shows the slot as open.

Small Office Electrical — pricing and scope

If the office needs a new circuit run from the panel rather than added receptacles on an existing one, see wiring & partial rewires. If a breaker in the suite's panel keeps tripping before any new work even starts, that's a panel diagnostics call first. Not sure which fits? Run it through Find a Fix.
