A Commercial Electrical Safety Inspection is a thorough evaluation of a business’s electrical system to identify hazards, ensure compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC), and improve efficiency.
Inspections help prevent electrical fires, power failures, and equipment damage, ensuring your workplace remains safe, compliant, and energy-efficient.
It is recommended to have an inspection every 3-5 years or whenever you renovate, install new equipment, experience electrical issues, or need an ESA compliance check.
Common issues include overloaded circuits, outdated wiring, faulty grounding, improper breaker sizing, poor surge protection, and non-compliant electrical installations.
While not always legally required, electrical inspections are necessary for code compliance, insurance purposes, and workplace safety. Certain businesses, such as restaurants and healthcare facilities, must meet strict electrical standards.
If your property fails, an electrician will provide a detailed report with required corrections. Nixon Electric Company offers repair and upgrade services to bring your system into compliance.
Yes! Inspections identify energy inefficiencies, outdated lighting, and high-power-consuming systems, allowing for cost-saving recommendations like LED upgrades and power factor corrections.
A licensed electrician will assess wiring, panels, grounding, emergency systems, lighting, surge protection, and compliance. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining any issues and recommended fixes.
The duration depends on the size and complexity of your business. A standard inspection can take a few hours, while larger facilities may require a full day.
You can schedule an inspection by calling (705) 874-1347, emailing info@nixonelectric.ca, or visiting nixonelectric.ca to book a consultation.
