Our Work
Benefits
Advanced, Future-Ready Solutions
We deploy modern diagnostics and scalable solutions so your system improves over time. Tools include thermal imaging, data‑logging power quality analyzers, and circuit tracers to pinpoint hidden faults. We can add smart panels or branch‑circuit monitoring, networked lighting controls, and enterprise‑grade surge protection. Designs anticipate growth—dedicated circuits for new equipment, spare capacity in panels, and pathways for low‑voltage and PoE lighting—so your next tenant improvement is faster and less disruptive.
Full Compliance and Permits
Shaffer Construction navigates Culver City permits, inspections, and utility coordination (LADWP or SCE, depending on address). We adhere to the California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3), California Energy Code lighting control requirements, and UL 924 for emergency egress lighting equipment. Our teams follow NFPA 70E safety practices and document all work for inspectors—updated panel schedules, labeling, and as‑builts—so approvals are smooth and predictable.
Experienced Electrical Craftsmanship
We use commercial‑grade materials—copper THHN/THWN‑2 in EMT, listed connectors, proper ferrules on control wiring, and NEMA‑rated enclosures. Terminations are torqued to spec using calibrated tools and verified with thermal scans. Circuits are labeled per code, and grounding/bonding is corrected where legacy systems fall short. This disciplined approach yields reliable repairs, fewer callbacks, and safer, cleaner electrical rooms your team can maintain with confidence.
Custom Troubleshooting Assessments
Every service call starts with targeted assessment—reviewing symptoms, equipment nameplate data, and load history. We design corrective actions around your operations: after‑hours work windows, phased shutdown plans, and temporary power if needed. You receive a concise scope, timeline, and cost options before we proceed. When the dust settles, we update panel schedules and provide as‑built notes so facility staff and future trades have accurate documentation.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting our Culver City storefront?+
Yes. We regularly schedule evening or early‑morning troubleshooting to keep shops and restaurants open during peak hours. When shutdowns are unavoidable, we plan temporary power and staged work so POS, lighting, and refrigeration are back online before you reopen.
Do I need a permit for electrical repairs in Culver City?+
Like‑for‑like device replacements and minor repairs often proceed without permits. New circuits, panel replacements, or equipment connections typically require a City of Culver City Building and Safety permit and inspection. We’ll advise on your scope and handle the application, plan check, and inspector coordination.
How quickly can you arrive and how long will it take?+
We offer same‑day or next‑day service for most calls in Culver City. Many issues are diagnosed and fixed in 1–4 hours, depending on access and parts. If specialty components or permits are needed, we secure them quickly and schedule follow‑up—often within 24–72 hours.
Can you address power quality problems in studios and A/V suites?+
Absolutely. We deploy power quality analyzers to identify harmonics, transients, and imbalances that affect audio, video, and IT gear. Solutions may include load balancing, dedicated circuits, isolation transformers, proper grounding, and surge protection matched to your equipment and usage patterns.
