Commercial Electrical Services
Give Your Building the Electrical Infrastructure It Actually Needs.
Most commercial buildings run into the same problem — electrical systems that were never built for what the business actually demands. Loch Monster Electric designs and installs power distribution systems that are properly sized for today and built to handle what's coming next.
No undersized panels, no code headaches, no costly retrofits a year down the road. We get it right from the start, so your building runs reliably, and your business can grow without outgrowing its electrical system.
An outdated panel isn't just a limitation — it's a liability waiting to happen.
An undersized or aging panel holds your business back and creates real safety risks that compound over time. If your circuits are constantly tripping, you're adding equipment, or your building is older, your panel probably isn't keeping up with what your business actually needs.
Loch Monster Electric assesses your current load, specifies the right equipment for where your business is headed, and handles the full installation from start to finish — so you're not back in the same conversation in five years.
Your heavy equipment & HVAC systems need three-phase power. Is your building wired for it?
Heavy equipment, industrial machinery, and large HVAC systems are built to run on three-phase power — and when they don't have it, you pay for it in efficiency, equipment wear, and higher energy costs. It's a common problem in older commercial buildings that were never wired for modern operational demands.
Loch Monster Electric installs three-phase service for commercial and light industrial properties, making sure your equipment runs the way it was designed to — and your energy bills reflect it.
Know exactly what your electrical system can handle before you overload it.
Skipping a load calculation is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes in commercial electrical work. Before any major project, renovation, or equipment addition, you need to know exactly what your system can handle and where the limits are before you hit them the hard way.
Loch Monster Electric performs detailed load calculations for new builds, renovations, and equipment upgrades, giving you the clarity to make smart decisions and the documentation to back them up.

If breakers trip under normal load, you are adding equipment that your current service cannot handle, or you are planning a tenant buildout that requires more capacity, those are all signs. A load calculation tells you exactly where you stand. We do these before recommending any panel work.
A load calculation adds up the electrical demand of everything running in your building and compares it against your service capacity. It tells you whether your current panel can handle what you are asking of it, and it is what we use to size any upgrade correctly. Skipping a load calculation is how you end up with a panel that is too small six months after the upgrade.
If you run large motors, industrial HVAC, manufacturing equipment, commercial refrigeration, or high-capacity machinery, three-phase power is almost certainly the more efficient and cost-effective option. For a standard office or retail space, single-phase is usually sufficient. We look at your equipment list and tell you what makes sense.
Most commercial panel upgrades are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the service and the condition of the existing installation. We coordinate the utility disconnect in advance and schedule the inspection so there are no unnecessary gaps between the work and the sign-off.
Yes. A properly installed generator connection requires a transfer switch that prevents backfeed onto the utility grid, which is both a safety requirement and a code requirement. We install manual and automatic transfer switches for commercial properties and size the connection to the loads you need the generator to cover.
