Commercial Electrical Services Across Chicagoland

Your business depends on reliable electrical systems to stay operational. When equipment stops working, lights go out, or circuits overload, you lose money. We're licensed commercial electricians who handle office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and industrial facilities across Chicagoland. Fast response, code-compliant work, minimal disruption.

Electrical problems in commercial properties cost more than the repair bill. Every hour your store can't process credit cards or your restaurant kitchen loses power means lost revenue and frustrated customers. We handle commercial electrical work for businesses across Des Plaines, Schaumburg, Elgin, and surrounding areas. From installing lighting in retail spaces to upgrading electrical panels in office buildings, we work around your schedule to minimize downtime. Last week we helped a restaurant in Arlington Heights that kept tripping breakers during dinner service. Their kitchen equipment was overloading a shared circuit. We installed dedicated circuits for each appliance and upgraded their panel capacity. The work happened overnight so they didn't lose a single service shift. That's how we approach every commercial job—fast, efficient, and designed around your business needs.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE Quikwire Electric LLC for Commercial Electrical Services

Most commercial electrical work happens after hours, on weekends, or during slow periods so you don't lose business. We schedule installations and upgrades when your building is closed or least busy. Need emergency repairs during operating hours? We get there fast and fix the problem without disrupting your customers or employees more than necessary.

Commercial electrical work has stricter codes than residential. We hold the proper licenses and stay current on Illinois commercial electrical requirements. That means your work passes inspection the first time, meets OSHA standards, and protects your business from liability. Inspectors know our work because we do it right.

Retail lighting, restaurant equipment circuits, office data centers, warehouse distribution panels—we've wired them all. Commercial properties have different electrical demands than homes. Three-phase power, high-voltage equipment, complex load calculations. We understand how businesses use electricity and design systems that handle your actual needs, not just minimum code requirements.

When your HVAC system stops working or your point-of-sale terminals lose power, you need an electrician now. We dispatch someone to your business location quickly—usually within hours for emergencies. Our trucks carry common commercial parts so we can fix problems on the spot instead of scheduling a second visit.

Our Commercial Electrical Services Service Includes:

Commercial Lighting Installation

Good lighting affects how customers see your products and how employees perform their work. We install LED retrofits, track lighting for retail displays, warehouse high-bay fixtures, parking lot security lighting, and emergency exit lighting. Most businesses in Wheaton and Hoffman Estates see lower electric bills after switching to LED. We handle the installation, disposal of old fixtures, and coordinate utility rebates when available.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older commercial buildings often have undersized panels that can't handle modern equipment loads. We upgrade 100-amp and 200-amp services to 400-amp or higher, install sub-panels for additions, and replace panels with damaged bus bars or outdated breakers. Panel upgrades typically require coordination with the utility company and local inspectors—we handle all of that so you don't have to.

Equipment Circuit Installation

Commercial equipment needs dedicated circuits rated for the load. We install circuits for restaurant kitchen equipment, HVAC systems, server rooms, manufacturing machinery, and retail point-of-sale systems. Each circuit gets properly sized wire, appropriate overcurrent protection, and tested under load before we sign off. Equipment that keeps tripping breakers usually needs its own circuit, not a bigger breaker on a shared line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does commercial electrical work cost?

Simple repairs like replacing ballasts or fixing circuits typically cost $200-$500. Lighting retrofits run $50-$150 per fixture depending on type. Panel upgrades range from $3,000-$10,000 based on capacity and complexity. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your facility and understanding exactly what work needs to be done.

Can you work during business hours without disrupting operations?

For most installations and upgrades, we work after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting your business. Emergency repairs happen whenever needed—we minimize the impact on your operations and customers. Some work requires temporary power shutdowns, but we coordinate those carefully and keep them as brief as possible.

Do you handle three-phase electrical systems?

Yes. Most commercial and industrial facilities use three-phase power for heavy equipment and HVAC systems. We install, repair, and upgrade three-phase panels, transformers, and distribution systems. Our electricians are experienced with both 208V and 480V three-phase configurations common in commercial buildings.

How long does a commercial lighting retrofit take?

A small office with 50 fixtures typically takes one or two nights. Larger retail spaces or warehouses with hundreds of fixtures take several nights, usually completed in phases. We work efficiently to minimize how long your space operates with partial lighting. Most retrofits finish within a week.
