Benefits

Modern Solutions for Tomorrow

We blend proven practices with modern technology to future-proof your electrical distribution. Our techs use calibrated torque tools and infrared thermography to spot issues early, and we can add metering or surge protection to enhance reliability. For larger facilities, we support breaker coordination and arc-flash labeling updates and can integrate smart monitoring using vendor platforms from Schneider Electric, Eaton, or Siemens. Our maintenance reports create an asset history, helping you plan phased upgrades as loads grow (HVAC, IT, EV, process equipment).

Strict Code Compliance

Shaffer Construction manages permitting and inspections when your scope goes beyond maintenance. We coordinate with the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division and ensure adherence to the California Electrical Code (based on NEC), Title 24, and labeling rules (NEC 110.22, 408.4). We verify short-circuit ratings, grounding/bonding, clearances, and selective coordination where required. Expect code-compliant documentation, scheduled inspections, and a clean sign-off—without the administrative hassle.

Reliable Craftsmanship Every Time

Our commercial electricians follow NFPA 70E safety practices and use UL-listed breakers and components. We torque terminations to manufacturer specifications, apply anti-oxidant on aluminum conductors, and clean panels with dielectric-safe methods. We inspect bus bars for pitting or heat stress, confirm breaker AIC ratings, and verify labeling accuracy. Clear photos and a concise report back our workmanship, so you can make informed decisions about repairs or upgrades with complete confidence.

Tailored Maintenance & Upgrades

Every facility is different. We review one-lines, panel schedules, and recent TI history, then assess actual loads, ambient temperature, and ventilation in electrical rooms. We map our service to your operating hours—often early morning, overnight, or weekends—to limit disruptions. If the panel supports critical systems, we phase the work or bring temporary power solutions. The result is a maintenance plan that aligns with your risk tolerance, budget, and growth trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should commercial breaker panels be serviced in Santa Clarita’s climate?+

We recommend annual maintenance for most offices and retail and biannual checks for facilities with high HVAC loads or critical operations. Hot summers and rooftop equipment drive thermal stress, so infrared scanning during peak season is especially valuable to catch loose terminations or overloaded circuits early.

Will panel maintenance shut down my business operations?+

Many tasks can be performed with minimal disruption. For thorough torque checks and certain tests, we schedule a brief shutdown—often before opening, after hours, or on weekends. We can phase work across multiple panels or suites and coordinate tenant notices so your operations continue smoothly.

Do I need a permit for breaker replacements or panel work?+

Routine maintenance does not require a permit. Like-for-like breaker replacements typically don’t, but panel replacements, bus upgrades, or reconfiguration of feeders generally do. We evaluate your scope, advise on requirements, and handle permits with the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division when needed.

What if my panel is an obsolete brand like Zinsco or Federal Pacific?+

We’ll document the condition, explain the risks, and provide replacement options with UL-listed equipment that matches your available fault current and future load plans. If replacement is chosen, we manage design, permitting, and a scheduled changeover to minimize downtime and bring the system up to current code.

Can you assess capacity for future EV chargers or HVAC upgrades?+

Yes. During maintenance we review panel schedules, measure available capacity, and evaluate feeder and service limitations. We can provide a load study and recommend upgrades such as higher-capacity panels, subpanels, or smart load management to support EV charging, expanded HVAC, or new IT equipment.
