From spoiled inventory to downtime costs, here are the power reliability issues our clients call us about most often.
An extended outage can spoil an entire walk-in cooler or freezer's worth of inventory within hours, especially for restaurants and grocery operations. The financial loss often exceeds the cost of the backup system itself. We design standby systems sized to keep refrigeration running through any length of outage.
A manual-start generator requires someone on-site to physically switch it on, which doesn't help if an outage happens overnight or on a closed day. Critical systems can be down for hours before anyone responds. We install automatic transfer switches that activate backup power within seconds of an outage.
Businesses often either oversize a system and pay for capacity they'll never use, or undersize it and risk overloading the unit during an actual outage. Getting this wrong wastes money in either direction. We calculate the building's full electrical load before recommending a system size.
Every hour without power can mean lost sales, halted production, or missed service commitments for a commercial operation. The longer an outage runs, the more the cost compounds. We install standby systems that keep core operations running through extended grid failures.
Servers, point-of-sale systems, and specialized equipment can be damaged or lose data during an abrupt power loss. A sudden shutdown is often worse for equipment than the outage itself. We integrate backup power with the specific circuits protecting your most sensitive systems.
A generator that hasn't been professionally tested and maintained often fails to start during an actual outage, which defeats the entire purpose of having one. This is one of the most common and preventable commercial backup failures. We provide scheduled load testing and maintenance to confirm reliability.
Natural gas, propane, and diesel each come with different tradeoffs in cost, runtime, and refueling logistics, and choosing the wrong one affects long-term operating cost. Businesses often get steered toward whichever fuel type is easiest to sell rather than what fits the building. We recommend fuel type based on your existing utilities and load requirements.
Certain commercial operations, particularly healthcare, food service, and multi-tenant buildings, face insurance or regulatory expectations around backup power. Falling short of those requirements can affect coverage or compliance standing. We design systems that meet the documentation and reliability standards these situations require.
A backup system sized for a building's current load may fall short once new equipment, additional square footage, or added tenants increase demand. Assuming the existing system will keep up without checking risks an overloaded unit later. We assess future load plans when designing or upgrading a commercial backup system.
We lost grid power for almost six hours last winter and our standby system kicked in within seconds. Every walk-in cooler stayed at temperature and we didn't lose a single day of inventory.
Electrical Services Ontario walked through our full electrical load before recommending a system size, instead of just pushing the biggest unit available. We ended up with something that covers everything critical without overpaying.
The installation itself went smoothly but coordinating with the utility for the transfer switch connection pushed our timeline out by about two weeks. Worth the wait once everything was finally approved and running.
The team from Electrical Services Ontario comes out for scheduled load testing and always documents exactly what was checked. Knowing the system is actually tested, not just installed and forgotten, gives real peace of mind.
A storm knocked out power to our whole plaza for most of a Saturday and our restaurant was the only one still open. The automatic transfer switch worked exactly as explained during installation.
Electrical Services Ontario explained why natural gas made more sense for our building than diesel given our existing gas line, instead of just quoting whatever was easiest to sell. Straightforward advice that actually saved us money.

Tell us what is happening — no power, a breaker that will not reset, or a planned upgrade. We talk it through and book a time that works for you, including same-day for urgent calls.
A licensed electrician looks at the actual panel, circuit, and load rather than quoting over the phone, then gives you a firm written price with the scope set out line by line.
The electrician who quoted the job does the work. Drop sheets go down, permits are filed where the work calls for it, and you get an update before anything changes from the plan.
Every circuit is tested before we close the panel, the inspection is booked and the certificate handed over, and our labour is warrantied for two years.
Reach out to Electrical Services Ontario for panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, generators, or emergency electrical repairs across Lucan.
