Picture your Colorado Boulevard storefront or Lake Avenue office suite running leaner on energy bills the month after an LED retrofit and smart controls upgrade, light levels actually improving while SCE demand-response credits start stacking up. Old Town Pasadena's historic commercial corridors present a particular challenge: older buildings need careful electrical work to meet Title 24 without compromising character, and the Eaton Fire's impact on northeast Pasadena means many commercial properties are being re-evaluated from the ground up. Whether you're rebuilding after fire damage or simply upgrading an aging system, the opportunity to build efficiency in from the start is one you won't get twice. Shaffer Construction holds California CSLB licenses in General Engineering (A), General Building (B), and Electrical (C-10), a combination most contractors in LA don't carry, and that breadth matters when an energy upgrade involves structural, permitting, and electrical work under one roof. Our in-house permitting team knows City of Pasadena building department requirements, and our load studies are done by the office, not farmed out to a third party. With 25 years and over a thousand projects behind us, the company stands behind every job with experienced crews and a structure built to handle commercial work at scale. Ready to see what an efficiency upgrade could look like for your Pasadena property? Call (323) 642-8509 or email hello@shaffercon.com for a straightforward conversation about your building's potential: no pressure, just a clear picture of what's involved and what you'd save.
