Commercial Electrical in Chicago, IL
Chicago businesses deserve an electrical contractor who understands commercial demands. MidWest Electrical Services provides comprehensive commercial electrical services for businesses across the south and southwest side, from small storefronts on 26th Street to office buildouts and restaurant renovations.
Commercial electrical work requires a different level of expertise than residential projects. Three-phase power systems, commercial-grade panels, dedicated circuits for heavy equipment, code requirements specific to commercial occupancy, and the need to minimize business downtime all set commercial work apart. Our licensed electricians have extensive experience with the unique demands of commercial properties throughout Chicago.
Our commercial services include new construction wiring, tenant improvement buildouts, retail and restaurant lighting design and installation, commercial panel upgrades and three-phase power setup, signage and display lighting for storefronts, dedicated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, emergency and exit lighting installation, parking lot and exterior lighting, and electrical code compliance for Chicago commercial inspections.
We understand that downtime costs money. When possible, we schedule commercial work during off-hours to minimize disruption to your business operations. For urgent commercial electrical issues, our emergency service ensures your business is not left without power any longer than absolutely necessary.
