Commercial Services

Dependable, on-schedule electrical solutions:
keep your business running efficiently

Powering Your Business Success

Commercial electrical systems demand a different level of expertise, precision, and efficiency than residential setups. When a retail space experiences a power failure, or when a leasehold improvement is delayed, it impacts your bottom line.

At MC Volts Electric, we provide professional commercial electrical services across Central Vancouver Island. We partner with local business owners, commercial property managers, and general contractors to deliver premium electrical installations, code compliance upgrades, and routine maintenance—always completed on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to your daily operations.

Save on Upfront Costs with BC Hydro

We help local businesses significantly lower their energy costs by taking full advantage of BC Hydro’s Business Energy-Saving Incentives (BESI). This program provides substantial upfront funding for eligible commercial and small industrial upgrades—such as replacing outdated fluorescent systems with modern LED fixtures—effectively cutting your equipment and installation costs while shortening your payback period.

By optimizing your power infrastructure and utilizing these active provincial rebates, your business can permanently reduce its utility overhead and redirect those savings back into your daily operations. Our commercial team stays up to date on current incentive structures and product catalogs to ensure your upgrades meet all pre-approval conditions.

Tenant Improvements & Leasehold Build-Outs

Whether you are opening a new retail storefront, upgrading an office space, or converting a restaurant, we deliver commercial lighting layouts, dedicated appliance circuits, and structured data cabling.

  • Office Fit-Outs & Corporate Layouts: Custom power and communication layouts for open-office cubicle arrays, dedicated server racks, conference room AV prep, and clean under-carpet floor outlets.
  • Retail Storefront Retrofits & Displays: Highlight your inventory with track lighting and display cases. We run dedicated circuits for POS systems, display monitors, and decorative accent lights.

Commercial LED Retrofits & Controls

Upgrade your facility’s lighting to modern, high-efficiency LEDs. We design and install interior office task lighting, high-bay warehouse layouts, exterior safety floodlights, and smart dimming systems that drastically lower your monthly operating costs.

  • Warehouse High-Bay System Overhauls: Replace outdated, buzzing, and slow-starting metal halide or T12 fluorescent tubes with bright, instant-on, industrial-grade LED high-bays integrated with smart motion detectors.
  • Commercial Office TROFFER Upgrades: Modern LED panel inserts that eliminate headaches, eye strain, and flickering. We pair them with daylight-harvesting controls that automatically dim interior bulbs when natural sunlight floods the windows.

3-Phase Power & DISTRIBUTION

From commercial kitchen lines and compressor hookups to industrial warehouse machinery, we safely design, route, and connect heavy-duty 3-phase distribution systems and dedicated motor circuits.

  • Heavy Equipment Connections & Starters: Code-compliant branch circuits, manual motor starters, local safety disconnects, and heavy-gauge conduit feeds for CNC routers, dust collectors, car lifts, and air compressors.
  • Main Distribution Panel Expansion: If your business is scaling up, we build out your secondary distribution framework. We install heavy-duty 3-phase panels and sub-meters so you can run heavier electrical loads with total safety.

Commercial Electrical FAQs

Can you work outside of our regular business hours?

Yes. To keep your doors open and avoid disrupting your clientele, we can arrange for our crew to perform noisy conduit routing, panel installations, or power shutdowns during your off-hours, evenings, or weekends.

Do you handle commercial permits and inspections?

Absolutely. We take care of the entire administrative pipeline—including drafting load calculations, submitting commercial permit applications to Technical Safety BC or local municipalities, and meeting with inspectors onsite.

What properties do you service?

We regularly service retail stores, professional offices, light industrial warehouses, multi-unit residential buildings (condos/apartments), fitness centers, and commercial leasehold spaces across the Central Island area.

Matthew was very prompt and personable. He checked to see if that fan I was replacing could have been fixed and since it was not fixable, he quickly and professionally installed the new one, answering any questions I had. Rates was reasonable. Clean up was completed. I would %100 recommend Matthew to anyone that needs an electrician. I plan on sharing his number with friends. Thank you for such a well done job.

Matthew did a great job installing a variety of lighting fixtures and ceiling fans throughout our house. Matthew is very competent and analytical, so he thought through challenges and when issues arose he asked questions so that we all knew what the expectations and final decisions were. His has a very strong customer service ethic and it showed in how he approached this job. We’re delighted with our new lighting and fans!

I totally recommend MC Volts Electric. Matt was great to deal with. Friendly and offered honest advice. None stop, hard worker. Totally thrilled with the new bathroom extractor fan he recommended and installed plus some electrical work in my crawlspace. I will definitely be using him again for future work.

We have engaged Matthew twice to perform jobs and in both instances his work has been excellent. He is knowledgeable, thorough in his analysis of the problems, and willing to explain in detail what needs to be done.
I would highly recommend MC Volts Electric for jobs minor or major.

Matthew should be everyone’s go to electrician. I found Matthew to be very conscientious, knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge when questioned. He upgraded and/or replaced outdoor outlets, a multitude of light fixtures and switches, a baseboard heater, a bathroom exhaust fan, GFI plugs and thermostats. It was a pleasure to have him work for me and I would highly recommend him for any electrical work you may require.

I would highly recommend MC Volts Electric. Matthew helped us in a pinch and on short notice to fix an issue we had with exposed outlets and switches. He was ready with a solution after our backsplash was installed. Matthew made sure our kitchen was safe and hazard free in no time. Thank you, Matthew! Much appreciated!

Kimberley Phillips | Google Review

Great customer service. Matthew changed a bunch of ceiling fixtures and light switches. He saved me time by sourcing out the light fixtures for me. When something wasn’t working, he came back and fixed it right away. Matthew also made some great recommendations that I did not think of for future projects.

Tara Baxter | Google Review

Matt at MC Volts Electric upgraded our electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, installed a 50 amp receptacle in garage and a 50 amp feed to sauna. Matt is a thinker, planner and a doer that gets the job done! Matt also balances aesthetics, cost and time in a practical cost effective way. We recommend MC Volts Electric!

Magdalena Perez | Google Review
