Electrical Improvements for Tenant Upgrades
Every tenant has unique requirements and demands the knowledge and skills of an experienced electrical contractor.
Electrical improvements in tenant-occupied buildings involve customized alterations or upgrades to a rental home or business space. The building owner sanctions these alterations, as agreed upon in the lease agreement, to accommodate the needs of the tenants. Every tenant has unique requirements and demands the knowledge and skills of an experienced electrical contractor.
Whether it is an empty home or office that needs customization or there is a need to reconfigure the existing space, reliable full-service electricians offer cost-effective solutions to all. Electrical tenant improvement projects usually aim to improve safety and security, keep the electrical system well-maintained and up to code, increase productivity, and enhance the living and work quality.
Let us look at the most common electrical tenant improvement services by electrical contractors.
Electrical rewiring
Old, outdated, or worn-out wiring poses a severe safety threat. The wiring of any building holds more importance than other electrical problems. Old wiring can overheat when overloaded, increasing the risk of sparks and electrical fire. For tenants moving into an older property, getting the wiring inspected and rewiring needs to be the top priority and one of the most critical electrical tenant improvements.
Interior and exterior lighting replacement
Tenants often request a light replacement for different reasons. While some install new lighting to boost the aesthetics or to match the interior design after a remodel or repaint, for others, updating outdoor lighting is a way to improve the property's safety, security, and appearance. Tenants may also require reactive lighting, smart switches and outlets, and dimming systems.
Electrical panel upgrade
Old or outdated electrical panels need replacement. Worn electric panels or damaged wires in electrical panels present the risk of electrical shocks and fires. For this reason, a common request tenants make to improve the building's safety, and overall energy efficiency is to upgrade the electrical panel.
Install or replace surge protectors
Another expected electrical tenant improvement is installing or replacing surge protectors. Several areas experience power surges which are hazardous for the electrical equipment and devices. Power surges can cause a lot of inconvenience and expensive issues in residential and commercial properties. Power surge protectors are necessary to protect valuable equipment and carry business operations uninterrupted.
Power backup systems
Unexpected power failure or blackout due to issues with the power grid or a major storm can halt business operations, spoil perishable items, and pose a safety threat. A backup system or power generator becomes necessary for ensuring continuous power supply during emergencies.
EV charger installation
With the increase in popularity and use of electric vehicles, the demand for electrical charging stations is also rising. Installing an EV charging station is more of an investment that will increase the value of a property and make it more attractive for future tenants. As a result, more tenants are requesting an EV charging station for commercial buildings and workplaces, multi-unit residences, and single-family homes.
Energy audits or energy monitoring systems
Regular energy audits or monitoring systems help improve building efficiency and reduce energy costs. Electrical contractors can perform inspections or suggest the best solution for the building.
