Commercial electrical service
Commercial electrical service upgrades
Tapps Electric installs new and larger electrical services for commercial buildings. We size the service, order the gear, coordinate with the utility and handle the permit, so the building has the power it needs for new equipment, tenants or EV charging.
Call (253) 344-4622 and a person will answer. Tell us what you need and we will set up a site visit.
When does a building need a bigger service?
When the load you plan to add is more than the service can safely carry. New production equipment, a commercial kitchen and EV charging are the usual reasons.
How long does a service upgrade take?
The work on site is often short. The long parts are utility design and switchgear lead times, which can run months. Calling early matters.
Have you done this for a restaurant or small business?
Yes. We installed a new electrical service for Over the Bar, and a service upgrade for Interwest Metals.
