Service · Commercial Electrician
Energy-efficient projects, commercial repairs, code compliance, planned installs — Lion Electric's master electrician handles commercial electrical work end-to-end across Peel. ECRA/ESA #7002360, ACP, fully insured, bilingual (EN / FR).
Why this service exists
A commercial site has tenants, customers, posted hours, fire and life-safety systems, and a landlord on the other end of the lease. The electrical work has to land inside that reality — not around it. That changes the way the scope is quoted, scheduled, and signed off.
The original Lion Electric brief on commercial work has stayed the same for years: provide safe, reliable electrical solutions that boost efficiency, productivity, and safety for the business — without the team having to chase multiple sub-trades to make it happen. The chief electrician on every commercial quote has 30+ years of in-field commercial experience, and the same ECRA/ESA #7002360 licence carries the work from intake to ESA approval.
If you are setting up a new fit-out, repairing a failing system that is interrupting trade, or planning a panel upgrade for a unit that has outgrown its service, this is the page that lays out how the engagement actually runs.
When commercial scope applies
Three sites, three constraints that residential work does not face. If any of these apply to your unit, the quote sits on a commercial schedule.
Storefront, restaurant, and clinic units rarely close for a panel cut. Commercial work isolates circuits at night or on weekends, then tests power-on before the unit reopens — the schedule is built around the trading window the operator gives us at the site walk.
Larger services, sub-panels, refrigeration feeds, POS dedicated circuits, hood and walk-in loads, and signage runs all sit at commercial spec. Residential 100–200 A single-phase guidance does not transfer to a retail unit with a hood and a walk-in.
Storefronts and offices are leased space. The lease, the landlord's building rules, and the fire/life-safety system all read the work as commercial. The chief electrician sequences the install around HVAC, drywall, fire, and the building's after-hours access process — a residential single-ticket workflow does not fit.
How the work runs
Commercial scope has more moving parts than residential, so the workflow is more explicit. Nothing skipped, no surprise line items at the end.
Tell us the unit, the trade, current hours of operation, and what is failing or being added. Urgent issues — sparking, breaker trips on a customer floor, exposed feeders — get triaged on the call.
The master electrician walks the unit at a time that does not interrupt customers. Service size, panel, existing wiring, fire system, and the next-door tenant boundary are all confirmed in person.
Free, itemised quote: labour, materials, ESA notification, after-hours premium where it applies, and a clear scope diagram. No verbal estimates and no scope drift later.
Lion Electric files the permit and ESA notification under ECRA/ESA #7002360 before any wire is pulled. You stay the business owner — we stay the licensed contractor of record.
Crew works in the agreed window: after-hours, weekend, or during a planned closure. Power-on is confirmed and tested before the team leaves the unit for the next trading shift.
We walk the ESA inspector through the work, address any notes the same visit, and hand over the certificate. The same licensed contractor stays the warranty contact going forward.
After-hours operator playbook

Bilingual on every visit (EN / FR). WSIB compliant. Fully insured and bonded. After-hours scheduling on request.
Our guarantees on commercial jobs
The list the original Lion Electric site has carried for years — and what we hold every commercial engagement to.
Commercial electrician FAQ
Specific to commercial work — fit-outs, repairs, after-hours scheduling, and ESA filings. Send a unit-specific question.
Request a commercial site walkYes. After-hours and weekend scheduling is a standard part of commercial work — storefronts, restaurants, and clinics rarely have the option to shut down for an install. We confirm the trading window at the site walk, isolate only the circuits we need, and test power-on before the unit reopens for customers.
Both. A single failing outlet on a customer floor, a tripped breaker on a fridge circuit, or a flickering light on a retail track is a valid commercial call. The same licensed team that wires fit-outs and panel upgrades runs repair work — the difference is in the quote, not in the crew.
Lion Electric does. Commercial work that crosses circuits, adds load, touches the panel, or affects life-safety wiring is ESA-notified work in Ontario. We file under ECRA/ESA #7002360 before any conductor is pulled, walk the inspection, and hand the certificate over with the project — you stay the business, we stay the contractor.
Yes — that is the difference between a single electrician and a licensed commercial contractor. The chief electrician sequences the electrical work alongside framing, HVAC, drywall, fire/life-safety, and the landlord's building requirements, so the wiring lands on the right day and the unit hands off cleanly.
Both — property managers and multi-unit operators in Peel use Lion Electric on recurring maintenance contracts for panels, common-area lighting, and after-hours repair callouts. As of 2026, the same chief electrician on the maintenance contract is the one who built the original install, which keeps the warranty contact consistent year over year.
