Service upgrades, three-phase panel installations, sub-panel additions, code-compliant work. We schedule around your hours so the upgrade does not interrupt operations.
Commercial panel work is fundamentally different from residential. Three-phase 208V or 480V service. Higher amperage feeders. Different breaker types and sizing. Coordination with utility companies for service drops or transformer changes. After-hours scheduling so the business can keep operating. ABC Electric Inc. has handled commercial panel upgrades across Lawrenceburg, Frankfort, and Versailles since 1999.
Common reasons businesses upgrade their service: adding new equipment that exceeds current panel capacity, expanding the building, addressing aging panels (especially Federal Pacific or other defective brands), preparing for tenant improvements, or correcting deficiencies flagged in an electrical inspection. We handle all of these scenarios with after-hours scheduling when needed to avoid impacting your business.
Our commercial panel work includes load calculations, utility coordination, permit handling, after-hours installation when required, and full inspection coordination. We work with property owners, property managers, general contractors, and tenants depending on the project structure. We can also bring you into compliance with current code if an older installation has fallen out of compliance over time.
Here is what is typically included when we handle this service for you.
Larger service drops, meter upgrades, utility coordination handled end-to-end.
208V and 480V three-phase panel installations. Standard for most commercial.
Current NEC and Kentucky commercial code. Bring older installations up to standard.
Overnight or weekend work to avoid business disruption. Standard for occupied spaces.
Detailed load analysis for expansion, equipment additions, or capacity verification.
Adding sub-panels for tenant spaces, equipment areas, or expansion zones.
