New outlets for a growing team, wiring for a fresh fit-out, or updates for an older building? Brian Electric LLC wires offices, shops and restaurants in Durham and the Triangle. We plan it with you, pull the permit and give you the price up front.
What We Do
Good wiring is planned around how you use the space. Here is the commercial wiring work we do for offices, shops and restaurants in Durham, NC.
More desks, a new copy area or a busier break room means you need power in more places. We add outlets and circuits so you can stop chaining power strips together.
Moving into a new space or changing your layout? We wire it to match how you will use it, and we work with your landlord and contractor.
Older buildings often have wiring that was never meant for today’s equipment. We update it in stages, so you can keep working while we do.
When you change how a space is used, the wiring may need to change too. We bring it up to the current electrical code.
Need power for new equipment instead? Call us and we will plan the dedicated circuits too.
Know the Signs
Wiring problems in a business rarely start with a failure. They start with small signs that are easy to live with until something stops working.
Power strips plugged into power strips, and extension cords run under desks or across floors, are a common fire risk. Fire codes do not allow them as a substitute for permanent wiring. If your business depends on them, it needs more outlets where people actually work.
Plan It Right
Moving in, expanding or rearranging? The best time to get the wiring right is before the furniture arrives. These are the questions we work through with you.
Working with your landlord or contractor?We coordinate with them, so the wiring fits the rest of the build.
Outlets belong where people work, not where an old layout put them.
We count what will plug in, then leave a few spare for later.
Coolers, ovens, copiers and similar machines often do.
Lighting is easier to plan with the wiring than to add later.
We check the panel can handle the new circuits before the plan is final.
A little extra capacity now costs less than opening walls again.
How It Works
From the first walk-through to a labeled panel, here is what happens on a typical job.
We walk the space with you, look at the panel and check how much power you use now.
You get a wiring plan and a clear price. Nothing starts until you approve it.
We pull the electrical permit before any wiring goes in.
We run the new wiring in stages or outside your business hours, so you can stay open.
The local inspector checks the work. We set up the inspection for you.
We test every new circuit and label the panel, so you know what each breaker does.
Wiring Costs
Every commercial wiring job in Durham, NC is priced after we see the space. These five things make the biggest difference.
More square feet and more outlets mean more wire and more hours.
Wiring during a build-out with open framing is faster than working through finished walls.
Commercial spaces often need wire run in conduit or protected in other ways, which adds material and labor.
Each new circuit needs its own breaker and wire run back to the panel.
If the panel is full, it may need a subpanel or an upgrade before the new circuits go in.
