Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Electrical Solutions
We deploy modern diagnostics and future-ready solutions—think FLIR thermal imaging, power-quality logging, and circuit tracing to pinpoint faults without excessive downtime. For lighting, we service networked controls and can recommend scalable systems like Lutron Vive or compatible relay panels to reduce call-backs. Where appropriate, we specify meter-ready smart panelboards and surge protection to protect POS and AV equipment. Our reports document findings and set you up for phased upgrades as your business grows.
Code Compliance and Permits
Shaffer Construction handles LADBS permitting and inspections end-to-end when required. We adhere to the Los Angeles Electrical Code (based on the California Electrical Code), Title 24 Part 6 for lighting controls, and NFPA 70E safe work practices. Our team coordinates inspection scheduling, prepares panel schedules/as-builts, and ensures correct labeling, grounding/bonding, and GFCI/AFCI requirements. You get compliant repairs with clear documentation for property managers, insurers, and future maintenance.
Expertise You Can Trust
We use commercial-grade materials and proven methods: copper THHN/THWN-2 conductors in EMT, compression fittings, torque-to-spec terminations with recorded values, antioxidant on aluminum lugs, and listed surge protection where needed. Connections are verified with thermal imaging and load checks. We label panels and circuits for future service and leave work areas clean. The result is reliable performance and reduced service calls—especially critical for kitchens, coolers, and lighting-heavy retail.
Customized Assessment Process
Every site is different. We start with a walk-through during off-hours when possible, review any as-builts, and listen to how your operations flow—open hours, peak loads, and sensitive equipment. We map affected circuits, isolate hazards, and propose a repair plan that considers stocking, outage windows, and budget. If we uncover systemic issues, we’ll outline phased corrections so you can prioritize essential fixes now and schedule upgrades later without disrupting business.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for electrical repairs in Atwater Village?+
Minor like-for-like repairs (e.g., replacing a failed receptacle or driver) are typically maintenance. New circuits, panel replacements, service changes, and significant rewiring require an LADBS Electrical Permit and inspection. We’ll advise on permit needs during our assessment and can obtain and manage the permit and inspection on your behalf.
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting my business?+
Yes. We routinely schedule early-morning, late-night, or Sunday work to keep cafés, restaurants, and retailers operational during peak times. We can also stage repairs—diagnose during the day, complete the corrective work after close—and provide temporary power or lighting when necessary to maintain safety and continuity.
We share utilities with neighboring suites—can you help with flicker and nuisance trips?+
Shared neutral/ground issues, imbalanced phases, and overloaded common-area circuits are common in small strips. We’ll map circuits, check panel loads, and verify grounding. If the issue involves building service or utility problems, we coordinate with the property manager and LADWP. We can also recommend load balancing and labeling to prevent repeat outages.
How fast can you respond to a no-power call on Glendale Blvd?+
For urgent outages, we prioritize Atwater Village and can often be onsite the same day, sometimes within hours. Many issues are resolved in 1–4 hours once we arrive. Call or text (323) 642-8509 and we’ll provide an ETA and guidance for safe shutdowns or temporary measures while we dispatch.
Are you familiar with Title 24 lighting control requirements for commercial spaces?+
Yes. We troubleshoot and repair occupancy sensors, wall-box dimmers, relay panels, and networked systems to meet California Title 24 Part 6 requirements. We ensure proper functionality, time-of-day settings, and demand-response readiness, and document compliance so your inspections and energy reporting go smoothly.
