Our Work
Benefits
Future-Proof Power Solutions
We design with growth in mind: right-sized circuits today, scalable capacity for tomorrow. Our layouts include balanced phase loading on 3-phase services, strategic spare spaces in panels, and oversized conduit where helpful for future pulls. We can add circuit-level monitoring via smart panels or submeters and provide QR-coded labels that link to digital as-builts—making future upgrades faster and more cost-effective.
Expert Permit Handling
Shaffer Construction manages LADBS permitting, inspections, and documentation end-to-end. We perform load calculations per CEC Article 220, apply branch-circuit rules in Article 210, and ensure grounding/bonding to Article 250 and LA amendments. Where applicable, we coordinate Title 24-related considerations, update panel schedules, and deliver complete as-builts so your records match the field.
Reliable, Professional Installations
We use pro-grade materials and methods: EMT or rigid conduit as appropriate, copper THHN/THWN-2 conductors, stainless boxes in wet areas, and industrial-grade receptacles (Hubbell/Leviton). For equipment, we provide the correct NEMA configuration (5-20R, 6-20R, L6-30R, etc.), torque all terminations to spec, and verify performance with meter readings and optional infrared scans under load.
Custom Circuit Design Process
Every installation starts with equipment nameplate data and inrush/current profiles. We size conductors for continuous loads, account for voltage drop on long runs, specify dedicated neutrals where needed, and sequence circuits to balance phases. Routing prioritizes code compliance, serviceability, and minimal disruption to your build-out and finishes.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need 3-phase power for my equipment, and is it available locally?+
Many Atwater Village storefronts run on single-phase services, which is adequate for espresso machines, small ovens, and most coolers. Multi-tenant and light industrial suites near Casitas Avenue often have 120/208V 3‑phase. We verify your existing service, balance phases, and only recommend 3‑phase when equipment requires it or when it meaningfully reduces operating costs.
What’s the timeline including LADBS permits and inspection?+
Most installations take a half day to 2 days once materials are on site. With LADBS permits and inspection scheduling, plan on a 2–4 week overall window. We handle submittals, book inspections, and sequence the work to keep your business operating, often with off-hours installation to minimize downtime.
Can you minimize wall damage and work after hours?+
Yes. We route through accessible spaces, use existing pathways where possible, and choose surface EMT in back-of-house areas to avoid demolition. When cuts are required, we make small, strategic openings and patch to a paint-ready finish. Off-hours and weekend work are available to reduce business disruption on busy corridors like Glendale Boulevard.
