Ask any business owner in Salt Lake City, losing even one day of operations due to a power outage can have a devastating impact on their bottom line. If you own a commercial property, your tenants want to know they have a reliable source of electrical power to keep their workplace running smoothly and without interruption.
But over time, commercial properties start to grow, install new equipment, and modernize the building's infrastructure and that can render the existing electrical panel obsolete as power needs change and evolve.
Keeping that old panel in place increases the risks of flickering lights, power interruptions, and safety hazards brought on due to overloading an electrical panel that simply can't manage or distribute the current as easily as it once did.
Epic Electric is Salt Lake City’s premiere commercial electrical contractor with the experience and expertise for performing commercial electrical panel upgrades to ensure that your building supports an increased electrical load, improves the safety of the business, and keeps your property in code compliance with modern standards.
WHY IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR AN ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE
Many commercial properties that were built ten, twenty, or more years ago still have the original electrical panels running their electrical systems. But it’s a different world now, a different marketplace where electrical needs have increased and become more dependent on modern machinery and equipment, security systems, high-speed computers, wi-fi networks, and a whole litany of power-hungry devices that are a part of our daily lives and business operations.
Electrical panels from "back in the day" can’t begin to properly supply the power demands of today’s business needs and expectations, so most businesses will decide to have their building’s electrical panel upgraded with a replacement that is better-suited to the growing demand for energy.
REASONS TO CONSIDER AN UPGRADE OF A FAILING ELECTRICAL PANEL
Call Epic Electric today and we can solve all of these issues:
-
Persistent breaker trips

Unexpected dimming or flickering lights

Expansion or renovation of the building
-
Installation of new equipment or fixtures

IMPROVED BUILDING SAFETY AND CODE COMPLIANCE
The electrical codes from years ago are much different today. As new technology develops and electrical demands change, codes and regulations are updated to meet basic safety standards.
When your business still relies on an outdated electrical panel, chances are you're violating National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, insurance and fire safety standards, and municipal building regulations in your local area.
An upgrade not only gets your building in compliance but also helps to reduce the risk of electrical fire, overheating circuits, and damaged fixtures and equipment that can lead to costly repairs.
