Tenant Fit-Outs & Renovations

Opening a new retail unit, renovating an office, or preparing a restaurant kitchen often requires changes to the existing electrical layout. We handle commercial electrical wiring, new circuits, equipment connections, and alterations to suit the tenant's space.

Work is coordinated with landlords, property managers, and general contractors to fit the renovation schedule.

Power Distribution & Capacity Upgrades

New machinery, kitchen equipment, or additional tenant loads may require changes to commercial electrical distribution. We assess existing panels, subpanels, breaker space, and available electrical capacity before recommending suitable modifications.

The assessment also considers existing 120/208 V three-phase distribution where present and whether additional service capacity is required.

EV Charging Stations

We provide commercial EV charging station installation for customer parking, employee spaces, and company fleets. Our work includes Level 2 charging equipment and DC fast charging installations for suitable commercial properties.

Each EV charging station installation starts with an assessment of available power, parking arrangements, and equipment requirements. We also plan workplace EV charging around the site's daily operations.

Commercial Lighting Upgrades & LED Retrofits

Older fluorescent and metal-halide fixtures cost more to run and fail more often. A commercial LED lighting retrofit gives you brighter, more even light with lower energy and maintenance costs.

Interior LED Retrofits

Replace outdated fluorescent fixtures in offices, retail stores, medical clinics, and other commercial interiors. Our commercial lighting installation work includes LED panels, recessed fixtures, and lighting layouts suited to the space.

Warehouse High-Bay Lighting

Upgrade high-bay fixtures in warehouses, storage areas, and production facilities. LED lighting improves visibility across aisles, workstations, and loading areas while reducing frequent lamp replacements.

Exterior & Parking Lot Lighting

Improve lighting around plaza parking lots, entrances, building façades, and business signage. We install and replace exterior-rated fixtures with attention to coverage, mounting positions, and reliable operation.

Lighting Controls

Add occupancy sensors, timers, daylight controls, and programmable lighting schedules. These systems reduce unnecessary operating hours and help match lighting levels to how each commercial area is used.

Scheduled Electrical Checks

Electrical-side inspections, transfer equipment checks, and scheduled load testing where applicable. Industrial generator maintenance planning also considers equipment connections and operating requirements.

Commercial Generator Installation

Commercial Electrical Inspections

Routine commercial electrical inspection helps identify deteriorating components, overheating, and equipment faults before they interrupt business operations. Our inspections support electrical safety, maintenance planning, and property documentation.

Emergency Lighting & Exit Signs

Emergency lighting inspection includes checking backup light operation, battery-supported fixtures, and illuminated exit signs. We assess the equipment against applicable Ontario Fire Code requirements and identify items needing attention.

Thermal imaging helps locate abnormal heat in electrical panels, breakers, connections, and distribution equipment. An infrared electrical inspection can reveal developing faults that may not be visible during a standard visual check.

Electrical Preventative Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance may include inspecting distribution panels, checking connections, correcting loose terminations under safe working conditions, and documenting equipment condition.

What Ajax Businesses Say About Our Commercial Electrical Work

We manage several retail units in an Ajax plaza, and one tenant had a circuit that kept cutting power to their equipment. The electrician coordinated access with our property team, traced the problem and repaired the damaged connection. What I appreciated most was the communication. We knew which unit needed to be accessed and when the power would be interrupted. It made a potentially disruptive repair much easier to manage.

Our kitchen equipment was putting too much demand on an existing circuit, and we needed the electrical work done without closing for dinner. They inspected the setup, gave us a written price and arranged the work outside our busiest hours. The new connection was installed neatly, and the electrician checked everything before the kitchen reopened. Good experience from a restaurant owner's perspective.

Nadine Levesque

I brought Ajax Electrician onto a retail tenant fit-out that had a fairly tight schedule. We needed new circuits, lighting connections and changes to the existing electrical layout before the ceiling could be closed. Their electrician worked with our other trades, kept the work area organized and handled the necessary ESA paperwork. Having someone who understood the sequencing of a commercial renovation was a big help.

The fluorescent lights in our clinic had become unreliable, with a couple of rooms noticeably dimmer than the others. We arranged to replace them with LED fixtures after our appointments finished. The electrician protected the work areas, completed the installation and cleaned up properly. The light is now much more consistent in the examination rooms. Our staff noticed the improvement immediately.

Our warehouse needed new high-bay lighting, but we couldn't have the entire floor shut down for the work. The crew planned the installation section by section and coordinated lift access around our shipping schedule. They replaced the older fixtures with LEDs and checked the lighting across the aisles afterwards. The warehouse is noticeably brighter, especially in the picking area. I'd use them again for electrical work at the facility.

Emmett Gallagher

We requested a thermal inspection of the electrical distribution equipment as part of our maintenance review. The electrician identified an unusually warm connection that wasn't obvious from looking at the panel. We received a report with the findings and recommendations, which made it easier to arrange corrective work and update our maintenance records. The documentation was clear enough to share with the building owner.

Meera Sandhu

Commercial Property Manager

Ajax, Ontario ·

We wanted Level 2 EV charging for our employees and needed to understand what the existing electrical service could handle. The electrician reviewed our parking layout, checked the available capacity and explained the proposed installation before we approved it. They placed the chargers where employees could use them without blocking other spaces. We also received instructions on operating the equipment after installation. The process was well managed.

Bryce Pelletier

Business Owner

Kingston Road, Ajax ·

During a routine generator test, our automatic transfer switch wasn't changing over properly. We needed the electrical side checked before the next scheduled building test. Ajax Electrician inspected the connections and switching equipment, identified the problem and explained the repair options. They coordinated the work with our maintenance staff and tested the transfer operation afterwards. Clear explanations and no disruption to the other building systems.

Commercial Electrical Services FAQs

Can you work after hours or on weekends so we don't have to close?

Yes. Commercial electrical work can be scheduled during evenings, overnight hours, or weekends to reduce disruption to your business. Some projects can also be divided into stages so unaffected areas remain operational while electrical work takes place. During the site visit, our team reviews your business hours, equipment shutdown requirements, building access, and deadlines before agreeing on a suitable work schedule.

We're leasing a unit in an Ajax plaza. What should we check electrically before signing?

Before signing a commercial lease, confirm that the unit has enough electrical capacity for your intended business and that the existing equipment is in suitable condition. A retail shop, restaurant, or clinic may need additional circuits or power capacity beyond what the previous tenant used.

Important items to review include:

  • Available electrical service capacity and panel space.
  • Condition of the electrical panel and existing wiring.
  • Power requirements for kitchen equipment, HVAC, computers, or specialized machinery.
  • Responsibility for electrical improvements under the landlord's work letter or lease agreement.

Our commercial electricians can inspect the prospective unit and identify electrical work that may be required before occupancy. This gives you information to discuss with the landlord or your legal adviser before finalizing the lease.

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested in Ontario?

Under the Ontario Fire Code, self-contained emergency lighting units must be inspected and tested at intervals no longer than one month to confirm they operate when normal power fails. They also require a test at least every 12 months to verify they run for their required design duration.

Battery-backed exit signs follow similar monthly and annual testing. Other backup lighting systems may have different requirements depending on the equipment. Our electricians can inspect the applicable lighting systems, identify defective batteries or fixtures, and document any corrective work needed.

Will an LED retrofit actually lower our electricity bill?

Yes, replacing older fluorescent or metal-halide lighting with appropriately selected LED fixtures generally reduces electricity consumption. The actual savings depend on the wattage of the old and new fixtures, operating hours, number of lights, and electricity rates. LEDs can also reduce routine maintenance because they generally require fewer lamp replacements.

Before purchasing equipment, check the current Save on Energy eligibility requirements. Eligible lighting products may qualify for instant discounts through participating distributors, while certain projects may fall under other incentive programs.

Our electricians can review the existing fixtures, discuss suitable LED replacements, and explain the installation work after assessing the property. Any potential energy savings or incentive eligibility should be evaluated for the specific project.

Do you service the generator engine, or only the electrical side?

Generator engine maintenance and electrical servicing are different types of work. Engine maintenance includes oil changes, filters, fuel-system checks, and mechanical repairs. Electrical servicing involves automatic transfer switches, wiring, controls, and connections to the building's distribution system.

The scope of service depends on the generator model and the problem involved. Our team reviews the equipment details and confirms which tasks can be performed before arranging the work. Engine servicing is not assumed to be included unless it has been specifically agreed.

Can you provide an inspection report for our insurer or landlord?

Yes. A commercial electrical inspection report can document the equipment examined, visible defects, test findings, and recommended corrective actions. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it may also include thermal imaging findings, equipment photographs, and details of any electrical concerns requiring follow-up.

Our team can prepare reports for property managers, building owners, and insurers based on the inspection performed. If your insurer or landlord requires a specific format or testing procedure, provide those requirements before the site visit so we can confirm the appropriate inspection scope.
