Jesse and his team were able to complete a job on time and on budget. Highly recommend
Call me Mr. Mom
Call me Mr. Mom
We had Nixon Electrics Co. install a whole home generator at my wife’s parents home as well as our home and a full upgrade to our electrical panel. In all three jobs Jesse and his crew arrived on time, fully prepared for the job and then did the work flawlessly and with no hidden costs. All three jobs were completed on time and the jobs sites were left clean and tidy. Jesse saw to everything including final inspections and took the time to fully explain everything we needed to know about the equipment.. We have other work for Nixon Electrical Co. to do and know that we can count on Jesse and his crews to get the job done quickly and professionally. We highly recommend this company.

FAQ

Ask Us Anything

What is commercial electrical design, and why is it important?

Commercial electrical design involves planning and developing the electrical infrastructure for commercial buildings such as offices, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial facilities. It ensures safety, efficiency, and compliance with local building and electrical codes. A well-designed system supports energy efficiency, reduces operational costs, and ensures a reliable power supply for business operations.

Electrical consultants provide expert guidance to businesses, helping them design, implement, and maintain safe and efficient electrical systems. Their role includes:

  • Assessing project requirements to develop a customized electrical plan.
  • Ensuring compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC).
  • Recommending energy-saving solutions such as LED lighting and smart automation.
  • Conducting load analysis to prevent power disruptions.
  • Supervising installation and troubleshooting potential issues.

A commercial electrical system must be reliable, scalable, and cost-effective. Key factors include:

  • Power load requirements to meet the energy demands of the facility.
  • Compliance with OESC and local regulations to avoid legal issues.
  • Safety measures such as grounding, surge protection, and fire prevention.
  • Energy efficiency strategies to reduce electricity consumption.
  • Future expansion capabilities to accommodate business growth.

The Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) outlines strict regulations for electrical installations to ensure public safety. Electrical designers and consultants must:

  • Obtain necessary permits before starting work.
  • Follow electrical load guidelines to prevent overloading circuits.
  • Ensure proper wiring and grounding for safety.
  • Use energy-efficient and approved electrical materials.
  • Conduct inspections and testing to verify compliance before project completion.

Energy efficiency is crucial for lowering operational costs. Some solutions include:

  • LED lighting systems that consume less power and last longer.
  • Occupancy sensors and smart lighting controls to minimize waste.
  • HVAC and lighting automation for energy optimization.
  • Renewable energy integration such as solar panels and battery storage.
  • High-efficiency transformers and power factor correction systems to reduce energy losses.

Electrical consultants help businesses cut costs through:

  • Optimized electrical layouts to reduce material and labor expenses.
  • Selecting energy-efficient appliances and lighting to lower utility bills.
  • Recommending automation systems that reduce unnecessary power consumption.
  • Analyzing peak demand charges to find ways to reduce energy usage during high-cost periods.
  • Planning for long-term efficiency to prevent costly retrofits or modifications in the future.

Load analysis is essential to prevent electrical failures and optimize power distribution. It involves:

  • Calculating the total power demand of the facility.
  • Ensuring circuits are properly balanced to prevent overloads.
  • Designing for peak energy usage to maintain system stability.
  • Planning for future expansion by incorporating additional capacity into the system.

Scalability ensures that the electrical system can accommodate future business growth without requiring a complete overhaul. To achieve this, designers:

  • Use modular electrical panels that allow easy expansion.
  • Plan for additional circuits and conduits to accommodate new equipment.
  • Install oversized transformers and breakers to handle increased power demands.
  • Incorporate smart monitoring systems that track power usage and predict future needs.

A reliable backup power system ensures business continuity during power outages. Best practices include:

  • Installing generators with automatic transfer switches (ATS) for seamless power transitions.
  • Using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to protect critical systems.
  • Ensuring proper fuel storage for backup generators.
  • Implementing redundant power sources for high-priority loads.
  • Conducting routine maintenance and testing to guarantee reliability.

To ensure OESC compliance, businesses should:

  • Hire licensed electrical contractors who are familiar with Ontario’s regulations.
  • Obtain electrical permits before starting any work.
  • Schedule regular inspections with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA).
  • Use approved materials and components that meet safety standards.
  • Document all electrical work for future reference and audits.
