Our Work
Benefits
Future-Proof Your Electrical Systems
We future-proof your property with smart, scalable solutions: networked lighting controls that satisfy Title 24 today and integrate with BAS tomorrow; panelboards with spare capacity and documented SCCR; whole-building surge protection; and metered subpanels for tenants. We use thermal imaging and data-logging to right-size corrections, deploy smart breakers and power monitoring (Eaton/Siemens/Schneider platforms), and design conduit pathways to accommodate EV supply equipment, LED walls, and server expansions without disruptive rework.
Expert Code and Permit Guidance
Shaffer Construction manages permits, plan check responses, and inspections end-to-end. We build to the 2022 California Electrical Code (CEC, based on NEC), Title 24 Part 6 energy standards, CALGreen, and applicable NFPA provisions (70, 72, 70E). Our submittals include one-line diagrams, load calcs per Article 220, fault current/SCCR documentation, and photometric controls layouts where required. We coordinate with City of Burbank inspectors and BWP to ensure meter and service work is released on time and fully compliant.
Top-Tier Workmanship and Reliability
We install copper THHN/THWN-2 conductors, galvanized steel EMT/RMC with insulated bushings, NEMA 3R/4 enclosures outdoors, and listed fittings throughout. Torqueing is documented per NEC 110.14(D). We replace obsolete panels with modern, listed equipment, add proper grounding electrode systems and bonding, and label everything—from directories to arc-flash warnings. Before turnover, we perform continuity, insulation resistance, GFCI verification, and thermal imaging to confirm long-term reliability.
Thorough Evaluations and Custom Plans
Every project starts with a site walk to document violations, review red-tag notes, and capture existing conditions. We compile as-builts, panel schedules, and feeder sizes; perform load calculations; and, when needed, short-circuit and arc-flash assessments. Our correction plan prioritizes life-safety, then operational risk, then aesthetics and expansion. We sequence the work for minimal downtime—night or weekend cutovers, coordinated shutdowns with BWP, and phased lighting controls commissioning to keep business operations flowing.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers an electrical permit for corrections in Burbank?+
Any work beyond like-for-like device swaps typically requires a permit—panel replacements, circuit additions, service upgrades, lighting control retrofits, or life-safety work. The City of Burbank Building and Safety Division issues permits; we handle submittals and plan check responses, and coordinate inspections, often within 1–2 weeks depending on scope.
How quickly can you resolve a red-tag violation at my business?+
Minor violations—missing covers, open J-boxes, labeling—can be corrected in 1–2 days. Multi-item corrections involving panels, grounding, or Title 24 controls usually take 2–5 days after permit issuance. We prioritize life-safety items first and can work nights or weekends to minimize downtime and meet re-inspection deadlines.
Do you coordinate with Burbank Water and Power for meter or service work?+
Yes. For service upgrades, panel changes, or meter relocations, we prepare load letters, request meter releases, schedule utility shutdowns, and ensure service equipment meets BWP standards. Proper coordination helps avoid extended outages and accelerates final inspection and power restoration.
Can you work on studio lots or secure facilities near the airport?+
We routinely perform after-hours and escorted work on studio lots and in secured Airport District facilities. Our crews follow site-specific safety, LOTO procedures, and access protocols. We plan corrections around production schedules to minimize disruption and maintain compliance with both site and city requirements.
