Right-Sized Service

Focused on repairs and maintenance, not big construction.

Many small businesses struggle to find an electrician for the everyday problems: a few lights out, a damaged plug on a piece of equipment, or an exit sign that will not stay lit. Those are exactly the jobs we take on.

For property managers handling rentals and multiple properties, see our property management electrical service.

Common Questions

Commercial electrical FAQs.

What kind of commercial electrical work do you do?

Surge Electric focuses on small commercial repairs and maintenance for local businesses and properties: lighting repair and lamp replacement, exit and emergency lights, receptacles and equipment plugs, dedicated circuits for equipment, and electrical troubleshooting.

Do you do large commercial construction projects?

No. We focus on repairs, maintenance, and smaller improvements for local businesses rather than large tenant build-outs or new commercial construction.

Can you keep up with recurring lighting maintenance?

Yes. We provide recurring lighting maintenance for local commercial properties, including matching replacement lamps to the existing color temperature and brightness so the property looks consistent.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service for businesses?

No. Surge Electric is not a 24/7 dispatch company. Call during business hours and we will schedule the work based on availability and the type of problem.

Do you work with national facility-management or warranty companies?

We focus on working directly with local business owners and local property managers rather than national vendor programs.

Do you service commercial fire alarm systems?

No. We repair exit signs and emergency lighting fixtures and their wiring, but we do not design, monitor, or service commercial fire alarm systems.
