Restaurant electrical services FAQs.

Quick answers to common questions from restaurant owners and operators about costs, timelines, and service options.

01How much does commercial kitchen electrical work cost?

Commercial kitchen electrical projects typically range from $5,000-$50,000+ depending on scope, equipment requirements, and existing infrastructure. New restaurant buildouts with full kitchen electrical are at the higher end, while equipment circuit additions and upgrades are more affordable. We provide detailed proposals with load calculations and phased options.

02Can you work around our restaurant operating hours?

Absolutely. We specialize in after-hours and overnight scheduling for restaurants. Most work happens between closing and opening, typically 11PM-6AM. For larger projects, we coordinate phased installation to keep your kitchen operational throughout. Your food service operations are never interrupted.

03Do you handle multi-location restaurant chain electrical?

Yes, we work with multi-location restaurant groups and franchise operators across Southern California. You get one dedicated project manager coordinating all locations, standardized execution quality, volume pricing, and streamlined communication so you manage one relationship, not multiple contractors.

04Can you help with restaurant buildout and tenant improvement electrical?

Yes. We handle complete electrical design-build for new restaurant locations including kitchen circuits, dining lighting, HVAC electrical, hood systems, POS infrastructure, and code compliance. Our fast-turnaround approach helps you open on schedule.

05What about walk-in cooler and refrigeration electrical?

We install and maintain dedicated circuits for walk-in coolers, freezers, and refrigeration systems. These critical circuits include proper disconnects, GFCI protection where required, and backup power options to protect your food inventory around the clock.

06What if we have a kitchen electrical emergency during service?

We offer priority emergency service for contracted restaurant clients, typically responding within 2-4 hours across Southern California. When kitchen equipment loses power, walk-ins go down, or critical systems fail, our emergency dispatch team gets you operational fast to minimize revenue loss.
