Convenience store electrical FAQs.

Quick answers to common questions from c-store operators about costs, timelines, and service options.

01How much does convenience store LED lighting cost?

Convenience store LED lighting projects typically range from $8,000-$35,000 depending on store size, fixture count, and whether exterior/parking lot lighting is included. Most stores achieve full ROI within 12-24 months through energy savings alone. We provide detailed proposals with utility rebate opportunities to maximize your investment.

02Can you work while our store stays open?

Absolutely. We specialize in live-environment electrical work for 24/7 convenience stores. Most projects are scheduled during overnight hours (11PM-6AM) when customer traffic is lowest. For critical work like panel upgrades, we coordinate brief, planned shutdowns during your slowest period with advance notice.

03Do you handle refrigeration circuit installations?

Yes. Refrigeration circuits are one of our core convenience store services. We install properly sized dedicated circuits for walk-in coolers, reach-in cases, beverage walls, and ice cream freezers, with correct wire gauge, disconnects, GFCI protection where required, and proper load calculations to prevent nuisance tripping.

04Can you install a backup generator for our c-store?

Yes. Standby generators protect your perishable inventory, keep POS systems running, and maintain lighting during outages. We handle generator sizing, concrete pad, fuel connections, automatic transfer switch, permitting, and inspection. Most c-store generator projects are completed within 2-4 weeks.

05Do you work with multi-location c-store chains?

Yes. We regularly support multi-location convenience store operators across Southern California. You'll get one dedicated project manager, standardized specifications, volume pricing, coordinated scheduling, and consistent execution quality across your entire portfolio.

06What about signage and exterior lighting?

We handle all signage electrical, LED channel letters, monument signs, window neon, price boards, and fuel canopy lighting. For exterior lighting, we install LED wall packs, parking lot pole lights, soffit fixtures, and bollard lights with photocell and timer controls.
