Commercial Service Upgrades & Load Calculations

Businesses outgrow their electrical service the same way they outgrow their square footage — and often around the same time. New equipment, an HVAC upgrade, an EV fleet, a kitchen expansion, a server room — any of these can push an undersized service past its limit.

Live Electric handles commercial service upgrades from the utility connection through the panel and sub-panels inside the building. We do real load calculations (not back-of-the-napkin guesses) so you're not paying for capacity you don't need, and not boxed in 18 months from now.

• 200A → 400A and larger service upgrades
• Single-phase to three-phase conversions where utility supports it
• Utility coordination — service entrance, meter base, CT cabinet
• Main switchgear and panelboard installation
• Sub-panel installation for departments, suites, or new equipment loads
• Feeder upsizing and conduit runs
• Load calculations and short-circuit analysis where required
• Documentation for utility rebates and incentives
