How Electricians Can Help Yourr Businness Expand
Business expansions require more hiring and accommodating a larger workforce. You’ll need more equipment and work areas for new employees. While your network administrator can set up all the tech stuff, you’ll still need electrical connections. Hiring an electrical professional is a must to add workstations safely.
Mister Sparky has a team of licensed electricians who can expand work areas for new hires. We have the expertise to add new electrical panels, direct connections, and wire new workspaces. Read on and learn more about our electrical services.
Electrical Compliance and the Necessary Permits
Electricians know what to expect when starting a new electrical project. Each new project requires permits from local authorities, and licensed electricians can file applications for these permits.
They also understand electrical compliance requirements for all service areas. Typically, the electricians follow known electrical safety standards during the project. Once the installation is finished, they will schedule inspections per the terms of the construction permits.
Since Mister Sparky performs services in Florida and Alabama, inspection requirements may vary. However, the electricians will make sure the project remains in compliance with state and federal regulations.
Accommodating Each Worker’s Daily Tasks
While planning the electrical project, the electricians will calculate the electrical load. They consider what equipment you need for each worker. You’ll need an electrical connection for each machine with a steady supply of power. The electricians review the volume of power required for each tool and the total number of workers using each workstation.
Adequate Electrical Supplies
Establishing power supplies for these work areas may require direct and indirect electrical connections. For instance, work areas that accommodate multiple computers will need outlets for each PC and its accessories.
Power strips can accommodate one computer, a printer, and related equipment. While the power strip is plugged into an outlet, it is balancing power between each piece of equipment. The computer and other components, however, are plugged into the power strip and not directly into the wall outlet.
However, if the work area includes a large-scale machine, it will require a direct connection to the electrical panel. The electrician will install a dedicated breaker for the machine.

Protecting the Worker’s Equipment
Your organization’s size determines if a new electrical panel is necessary. The addition of new work areas may call for a new electrical panel to accommodate multiple machines and equipment.
Surge protection for each electrical panel is vital to protecting your workers’ equipment. In large-scale commercial spaces, business owners may already have surge protection for the main line.
However, they will need additional surge protection for individual electrical panels, too. Mister Sparky can evaluate surge risks and offer advice about protecting each work area.
Adding Connections in the Electrical Panel
Circuit breakers supply power from the electrical panel to each work area. The size of your commercial space will determine how many breakers are needed for your workspaces. Licensed electricians can calculate the load and determine if multiple breakers are needed. They can also calculate the voltage requirements for these breakers.
It’s imperative to make sure that each workstation receives the correct electrical load to power equipment. However, it is equally important to avoid overloading the circuits.
Planning for Future Connections
New electrical panels could make it easier to add new workstations in the future. Consider these future requirements when setting up new work areas for your workers. Licensed electricians can help you plan these projects in advance and save you time and money later.
