Downtown Bakersfield has a mix you do not find in newer parts of town: older commercial buildings, storefronts that have changed hands many times, restaurants with heavy kitchen loads, and older homes in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Each of those comes with its own electrical challenges. Electrical ASAP is a licensed electrical contractor based in Bakersfield, and our team handles both commercial and residential work downtown.
Commercial electrical downtown
For businesses, the work we do most often includes:
- Tenant improvements and build outs for new and changing tenants
- Restaurant and kitchen equipment circuits
- Sign lighting repair and storefront lighting
- LED lighting retrofits for offices and retail
- Exit signs and emergency lighting
- Panel work and troubleshooting in older buildings
Older buildings, careful work
Older downtown buildings often have layers of wiring from past tenants. Before we add anything, we trace what is there, label circuits, and make sure the panel can take the new load. If we find unsafe leftovers, we tell you and give you options.
We schedule work around your business hours where we can, and plan any shutdowns ahead of time so you are not caught off guard.
Homes near downtown
The neighborhoods around downtown have many older homes with original wiring, fuse boxes, or small panels. We handle panel upgrades, rewiring, outlet and lighting work, and emergency repairs for homeowners and landlords in the area.
