Call (520) 376-2779Tenant improvement projects are a core part of our commercial work. When a new business moves into an existing Tucson retail center or office space, the electrical system almost always needs modifications to suit the new layout and equipment. We handle everything from moving outlets and adding circuits to installing new sub-panels, dedicated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, and data cabling infrastructure. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to neighboring tenants and meet tight construction timelines.
Three-phase power is essential for many commercial operations in the Tucson area, including restaurants, machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and large office buildings. We install and maintain 3-phase panels, transformers, and motor connections, and we coordinate with TEP for new 3-phase service where it is not already available. Our commercial electricians understand the differences between single-phase and three-phase systems and can design the most cost-effective solution for your equipment requirements.
Parking lot and exterior lighting is another area where Tucson businesses benefit from professional electrical work. LED retrofits for existing parking lot fixtures can reduce energy costs by 60 to 70 percent while improving visibility and security. We design, install, and maintain commercial exterior lighting systems that meet Pima County dark-sky ordinance requirements while keeping your property well-lit and welcoming for customers.

The permit process includes plan review for larger projects and a final inspection by the county inspector. We handle the entire permit process for every commercial job we perform.
Can you do the electrical work for a commercial solar installation?

What is involved in upgrading to 3-phase power?
A 3-phase upgrade typically requires coordination with TEP to bring 3-phase service to your property, installation of a new 3-phase panel, and rewiring of equipment circuits. The timeline depends on TEP availability and the scope of the internal work. We manage the entire process from the initial TEP application through final inspection.
