The Electrical Side of a Commercial Renovation

Fit-outs

Almost every commercial renovation touches the electrical: walls move, lighting changes, kitchens and equipment get added, and the code requirements move with them. We take the electrical scope end to end so your GC has one less trade to chase.

What we handle in a fit-out:

  • Demo and safe-off of existing circuits before walls come down

  • Rough-in wiring, receptacles and dedicated circuits for the new layout

  • Lighting, fixtures and controls for the new space

  • Panel changes, subpanels and service upgrades when the new use needs more power

  • Fire alarm extensions and exit lighting where the layout changes

One crew, one accountable scope, and the ESA notifications and inspections handled so occupancy isn't held up by the electrical.

Built for GC Schedules

Charged Electric runs the electrical scope on commercial renovations and fit-outs across Waterloo Region: retail, restaurant, office and industrial spaces, working with your GC or directly with you.

Commercial Renovations

We Hit Rough-In Windows
Renovation schedules collapse when trades slip. We show up when framing is ready and book inspections ahead so drywall isn't waiting on us.
One Trade, Full Scope
Wiring, lighting, panels and fire alarm handled by one electrical contractor instead of three subs pointing at each other.
Licensed, Insured, ESA Inspected
ECRA/ESA licensed 7011473 and fully insured. Inspections booked ahead so occupancy and opening dates hold.
Upfront Pricing
The electrical scope quoted from your drawings before demo starts. Changes priced before they happen, not after.

Renovations Change More Than Walls

Code moves with you

When occupancy or layout changes, the electrical requirements change with it: receptacle spacing, lighting levels, exit and emergency lighting, fire alarm coverage. What passed for the old space may not pass for the new one.

Common renovation scopes we run:

  • Retail and restaurant fit-outs, including kitchen equipment circuits

  • Office reconfigurations: lighting, power and controls for new layouts

  • Change-of-use conversions where the whole electrical picture gets reassessed

Send us the drawings and we'll quote the electrical scope upfront. Request a quote and we'll get back to you within one business day.

They installed a whole home generator for us. Top notch job! Everything went tickity boo. A lot of work involved but the trades were all very professional and explained the job to us as we went along. Other contractors wouldn’t even return our calls. Highly recommend! Local too!

I had them come help me with issues when I had my Lyric Thermostat. On time (early), pet friendly (did not mind my hyper chocolate lab) and price range very reasonable. I would highly recommend Charged Electric in the future.

Commercial Renovation Questions

Both. If you have drawings, we quote the electrical scope from them. If you don't, we walk the space with you, build the electrical scope around how you'll use it, and put a firm number on it before demo starts.

Yes, most of our fit-out work runs through a GC. We hit the rough-in window when framing is ready, book inspections ahead, and return for devices, fixtures and finals so the schedule keeps moving.

It depends on the scope: fixture counts, dedicated circuits for kitchen or specialty equipment, panel work, and any fire alarm changes. We quote the full electrical scope upfront from your drawings, and changes get priced before they happen.

New work has to meet the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and changing a space's layout or use can change what's required: exit lighting, fire alarm coverage, receptacle spacing. We flag those requirements at the quoting stage so they don't surface as surprises at inspection.

Yes. Fire alarm extensions, exit signs and emergency lighting are part of most layout changes, and we handle them within the same electrical scope, wired to code and documented.

We run electrical scopes on renovations and fit-outs across Waterloo Region and Southwestern Ontario, including Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford and London, from our shop in New Hamburg. Call +1 (519) 469-9797 or request a quote and we'll respond within one business day.
