Our Work
Benefits
Modern, Scalable Electrical Solutions
We design device and control upgrades with scalability in mind. For lighting, we integrate 0–10V dimmers, digital vacancy/occupancy sensors, and networked systems like Lutron Vive or Wattstopper for phased rollouts. For power, we install Title 24–compliant controlled receptacles and clearly label them for easy expansion. Our team uses load data logging, circuit mapping, and thermal imaging to inform planning—ensuring today’s upgrades support tomorrow’s equipment, schedules, and energy goals.
Compliance You Can Trust
Shaffer Construction, Inc. manages permitting and inspections with the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division so your project stays on schedule. We implement California Electrical Code (CEC), Title 24 Part 6 nonresidential lighting controls, and CALGreen requirements, and coordinate where necessary with LA County Fire for special occupancies. From GFCI placement per NEC 210.8(B) to ADA-compliant mounting heights, we build submittals that pass plan check and final inspection the first time.
Superior Workmanship Every Time
We install spec-grade and hospital-grade devices from trusted brands, use copper conductors and listed connectors, and apply torque per manufacturer specs. Outdoor devices receive weather-resistant receptacles and in-use covers; interior dimmers are matched to LED drivers to eliminate flicker. Every device is circuit-tested and labeled, and we document changes to panel schedules. Expect durable nylon or stainless plates where appropriate, neat terminations, and reliable performance under heavy use.
Tailored Planning and Design
Every business is different, so we begin with a detailed walk-through to map circuits, assess panel capacity, and review device counts and locations. We confirm Title 24 control needs, ADA reach ranges, and any property management requirements. Then we present device options—GFCI, tamper-resistant, isolated ground, 0–10V dimmers, or smart controls—along with a phased schedule to minimize downtime. You get a clear plan, transparent pricing, and a clean installation window.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace outlets and switches in my Santa Clarita office?+
Like-for-like device swaps are often considered maintenance, but adding circuits, relocating devices, or implementing nonresidential lighting controls typically requires a permit through the City of Santa Clarita Building and Safety Division. We’ll review your scope, advise on permit needs, and handle submittals and inspections so you stay compliant without delays.
What dimming method works best with LED panels in offices?+
Most commercial LED fixtures are designed for 0–10V dimming, which provides smooth, deep dimming and easy integration with occupancy/daylight sensors. Phase-cut (triac) dimmers can cause flicker or limited range with some drivers. We check fixture driver specs, test representative luminaires, and match dimmers and sensors to ensure quiet, flicker-free performance.
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting customers?+
Yes. We regularly perform device upgrades evenings or early mornings for retail and restaurants near Town Center Drive and offices along Tourney Road. We stage materials in advance, phase circuit shutdowns, and leave spaces clean and operational by opening time. We’ll coordinate with your property manager for access and any required notifications.
Are controlled receptacles required in California offices?+
Yes. Title 24 requires automatically controlled receptacles in certain nonresidential spaces such as private and open offices, conference rooms, and reception areas. Typically, at least 50% of receptacles must automatically shut off via occupancy or schedule control. We install and label controlled outlets per code and set schedules or sensor logic to match your operations.
What’s the difference between residential-grade and spec-grade devices?+
Spec-grade outlets and switches are built for frequent use: stronger contacts, tighter grip, heavier-duty yokes, and sturdier face materials. They resist heat and wear better, reducing plug slippage and failures. In commercial settings—retail checkouts, office workstations, copy rooms—spec-grade devices last longer and lower maintenance costs compared to residential-grade hardware.
What are ADA considerations for switch and outlet placement?+
ADA and California Building Code require operable parts to be within accessible reach ranges, generally 15–48 inches above the finished floor, with clear approach and operation without tight grasping or twisting. During planning, we verify mounting heights, clearances, and device locations so your upgraded controls are accessible and compliant.
