A tripped breaker in a restaurant kitchen during the dinner rush, a dark storefront on a Saturday afternoon, or an office where half the outlets quit working can cost you real money before anyone even picks up the phone. Craig Faria Electrician has been handling commercial electrical services in Taunton, MA, and nearby areas since 1996, and we understand that every hour your building sits without power is an hour you're not doing business. Getting someone out quickly matters, and so does having that person actually solve the problem instead of patching it until next month.
Based in Taunton, MA, Craig Faria Electrician is an electrician serving Bristol and Plymouth counties. Our crew specializes in commercial work for office buildings, retail spaces, and restaurants, covering generator installation, tenant improvements, electrical maintenance, service upgrades, troubleshooting, and general service calls.
Here's a problem we get called about a lot. A breaker trips, someone flips it back on, and everything works fine for a few days until it happens again. Eventually it starts tripping every afternoon, and now you're running an extension cord across the back room and hoping nobody notices.
The cause usually traces back to a building that's asking more of its electrical system than the system was ever built to handle. Commercial spaces change hands, tenants come and go, and each one adds equipment: a new espresso machine, a second walk-in cooler, another bank of computers. That old panel was sized for a business that closed 15 years ago, and nobody updated it along the way.
Fixing it properly starts with a walk-through where our licensed commercial electrician measures what your building is actually drawing and compares that to what the service can safely deliver. From there, we map out what needs to change, which might mean a service upgrade, a new subpanel, dedicated circuits for the equipment causing trouble, or rewiring a section that was patched together by whoever came before us. We handle permits and inspections on our end, and we schedule the work around your hours so your customers aren't watching us pull wire.
The result is a building that stops fighting you. Breakers hold, equipment runs the way it's supposed to, and you've got room to add more later without starting this whole conversation over. Most commercial property owners tell us the best part is not thinking about the electrical system at all anymore.
Below is a closer look at the work we handle for commercial properties throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.
Not every job needs a project plan. Flickering lights, a dead circuit, a receptacle that quit, or an exterior fixture that's been out for weeks all fall under the everyday commercial electrical service work we do.
Intermittent problems are the frustrating kind, since everything looks fine right up until it doesn't. Tracking down the actual source takes patience and the right test equipment, and a seasoned commercial electrical contractor like us knows where these things tend to hide.
Small issues have a way of turning into expensive ones when nobody's watching for them. Scheduled maintenance visits let us catch loose connections, overheating breakers, and failing fixtures before they take something down. Building owners with several properties often set us up on a regular rotation so nothing slips through the cracks.
Losing power means losing inventory, sales, and sometimes your whole day. Generac and Kohler standby units keep your operation running when the grid goes down, and our team handles sizing, installation, and the transfer switch that makes it all work automatically. Restaurants and medical offices tend to benefit most, though any business with a walk-in cooler or a server room should give it some thought.
Adding equipment to a building that's already maxed out rarely ends well. Upgrading the service means a properly sized panel, updated metering, and the capacity to support what you're running now plus whatever comes next. Older buildings around Taunton frequently need this before any real renovation work can move forward.
Fit-outs run on tight deadlines, and electrical is usually somewhere in the critical path. Our crew works alongside your general contractor to rough in lighting, power, and data pathways so the space is ready when the tenant moves in. Bring us in during the planning stage, and we'll flag anything in the existing infrastructure that could slow the schedule.
Manufacturing plants run on tight schedules, and a single piece of equipment sitting idle can back up an entire shift. That's why our industrial electrical services include machine wiring, equipment installation, power distribution, and generator installation, plus the preventive maintenance that keeps small problems from turning into shutdowns.
Older apartment buildings tend to hide their surprises behind the drywall, and you find them the hard way during a renovation. Multifamily electrical services from Craig Faria Electrician bring order to that, handling condos, apartment complexes, and multiunit properties with common area lighting, unit rehabs, generator installs, service capacity increases, and steady maintenance.
Luxury finishes deserve wiring that holds up behind them, especially in a house running smart controls, landscape lighting, and a pool out back. High-end residential electrical services from our crew cover custom builds and additions, with full-home wiring, statement fixtures, integrated smart systems, dedicated circuits for sensitive gear, upgraded panels, and Generac or Kohler standby power.
Adding a heat pump or an electric vehicle (EV) charger usually surfaces the same question: can the panel actually handle it? Electrical panel upgrades and service changes answer that with a properly sized service, new breakers, updated metering, and everything brought current with code so you've got room to grow.
Getting primary power onto a raw piece of land involves the utility, the excavator, and a permit or two before a single wire gets pulled. Underground utility and primary electrical services are where our experience really pays off, from primary underground utilities and distribution to conduit, service entrances, transformer pads, and connections that pass inspection the first time.
Old detection equipment has a way of failing quietly until the day it matters. We install, upgrade, and service fire alarm systems in commercial and new construction settings, including addressable panels, replacing outdated devices, and chasing down the faults behind those nagging trouble signals.
Flickering lights, a dead bedroom outlet, a breaker that trips the moment the microwave kicks on: small stuff, but it nags at you. Our electrical service calls and repairs cover exactly that kind of thing, plus emergency response when the power drops at a home, a storefront, or a plant floor at the worst possible moment.
Business owners across Southeastern Mass keep calling us back, and here's what tends to be behind that.
Power problems don't check your calendar, so emergency response is available when something goes down outside normal hours.
We install Generac and Kohler standby generators, since a backup system is only worth having if it starts every time.
A one-year workmanship warranty comes with our work, meaning you've got recourse if anything needs revisiting.
Two decades and more across commercial, residential, and industrial jobs have shaped how our crew works, and belonging to the Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association keeps us sharp on current code.
Massachusetts generally requires permits and inspections when electrical work adds, changes, or replaces wiring or equipment. For commercial electrical services in Taunton, the electrical contractor performing the work files with the local inspector and arranges the required inspections.
A planned maintenance program can uncover loose connections, heat damage, worn components, and overloaded circuits before they interrupt normal operations. Commercial electrical services may also include load reviews, backup generator planning, and repairs scheduled around quieter business hours.
No single interval fits every property because restaurants, offices, and retail spaces place different demands on their electrical systems. An electrician can set a commercial electrical services schedule based on equipment age, operating hours, environmental conditions, manufacturer guidance, and previous problems.
During a tenant buildout, an electrician plans circuits, lighting, receptacles, equipment connections, and available service capacity around the new use of the space. Commercial electrical services also cover permit coordination, inspections, troubleshooting, and final system checks.
Consider an upgrade when breakers trip regularly, panels run out of space, new equipment strains the existing system, or tenants experience recurring power problems. A commercial electrical services assessment can compare present loads with plans before the owner selects a larger service.
