Whether you run a restaurant along Colorado Boulevard, manage office space near Lake Avenue, or are rebuilding after the Eaton Fire in northeast Pasadena. Your electrical panel is the backbone of your building's power. A commercial property running on outdated 100-amp service can't reliably support modern HVAC, EV charging for fleet vehicles, or the equipment demands of a full kitchen. Upgrading to 200A or 400A service, or adding a dedicated sub-panel, means your building handles today's loads without the constant threat of tripped breakers or overloaded circuits. Shaffer Construction holds California CSLB licenses in General Engineering (A), General Building (B), and Electrical (C-10), a combination most LA contractors don't carry. That breadth matters on commercial panel work, which often reveals structural or code issues that a C-10-only shop can't address without subcontracting delays. We handle City of Pasadena permits and load studies in-house, and we're actively doing Eaton Fire rebuild work across Pasadena and Altadena, so we understand what the city's building department expects, and how to keep your project moving through inspection without surprises. Ready to get your panel up to the job? Call (323) 642-8509 or email hello@shaffercon.com for a free, no-obligation estimate. We'll assess your current service capacity, walk you through what an upgrade looks like for your specific building, and give you a straightforward quote. No pressure, no padding.
