Our Work
Benefits
Built with Future Growth in Mind
We future-proof your distribution by incorporating smart monitoring and scalable protection. Our team deploys panel-level metering, thermal trend logs, and surge protective devices that protect sensitive AV and IT gear. We specify solutions compatible with leading ecosystems—Eaton Power Xpert, Schneider Electric PowerLogic, and Siemens SENTRON metering—to flag anomalies early. For growing facilities, we plan spare capacity, modular breakers, and labeling that anticipate EV chargers, expanded server rooms, and additional lighting loads common in Burbank’s evolving studios and offices.
Permits, Codes, and Compliance
Shaffer Construction handles permitting and inspections end-to-end when required—coordinating with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division and Burbank Water and Power. Our work aligns with the California Electrical Code (based on NEC), Title 24, and NFPA 70E safe work practices. We document torque values, equipment ratings, and panel directories to pass inspection the first time, and we schedule work to meet your production or business timelines with minimal disruption.
Quality You Can Trust
We use calibrated torque tools, apply anti-oxidant compound on aluminum conductors, and replace damaged or under-rated breakers with UL-listed, manufacturer-approved devices. Our technicians perform infrared scans, verify AIC ratings, and confirm grounding/bonding integrity. We update directories with durable labels, maintain clean, debris-free enclosures, and follow strict lockout/tagout. Every visit includes a detailed report with photos, findings, and prioritized recommendations so you know exactly where you stand.
Customized Electrical Planning
We begin with a pre-service walkthrough and a review of one-line diagrams, load profiles, and operational schedules. For busy retail corridors and studio lots, we plan off-hours or segmented shutdowns to isolate critical circuits. Our deliverables include an inspection checklist, thermal images, torque logs, and a punch list organized by urgency, budget, and downtime. You’ll get a clear, customized path to improved safety, reliability, and future expansion.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial breaker panels be serviced in Burbank?+
For most Burbank facilities, annual service is a solid baseline. Studios, post-production, and AV-heavy environments benefit from semi-annual checks due to heat and harmonics. High-traffic retail with long operating hours may also warrant twice-yearly inspections—especially before and after peak seasons.
Will our operations be disrupted during the 2–4 hour service window?+
We plan maintenance to minimize impact—often after-hours or in phases. Some steps require de-energizing the panel briefly for safe torqueing and inspection. We coordinate with your team, isolate non-critical circuits when possible, and restore power in stages to keep essential systems running.
Do I need a permit for breaker replacement or panel maintenance?+
Routine maintenance typically does not require a permit. Like-for-like breaker swaps may be allowed without one, but panel change-outs, feeder upgrades, and major repairs do. We’ll confirm with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division, handle permits if needed, and schedule inspections and any BWP meter pulls.
Can you service 277/480V panels and switchgear common in commercial buildings?+
Yes. We service both 120/208V and 277/480V systems, using NFPA 70E-compliant arc-rated PPE, calibrated instruments, and proper lockout/tagout. We also verify AIC ratings, grounding/bonding, and selective coordination to ensure your distribution system operates safely and predictably.
What are warning signs that my panel needs attention now?+
Common red flags include frequent nuisance trips, hot or discolored breakers, a burning or metallic odor, buzzing or crackling sounds, and loose or missing directory labels. If you notice any of these—or if the panel is older or a legacy brand—schedule service as soon as possible.
