Does your business need immediate, exceptional and experienced commercial electric services? Electrical problems in a workplace are not just an inconvenience. They stop production, they create a safety exposure, and they cost money for every hour they last.
We understand that when your business experiences electrical issues, your business can take a hit. That is why our commercial work is built around fast response, minimal disruption, and turning up when we said we would. Reliability and respect for your time are the whole point.
Over five decades we have handled diverse commercial and industrial projects including data cabling, explosion-proof wiring systems, and automated lighting controls, alongside the everyday work of keeping retail, office, restaurant, and light industrial properties running.

“Kincaid did an excellent job adding outlets to my garage apartment. Their final fee matched their quote and they cleaned up and it was like they were never there!! (Except for the new outlets) Can’t stress enough the value of an honest electrician!”

Commercial Electrical FAQs
Can you work outside our business hours?
Yes, and for most retail and restaurant work we prefer to. Evening and weekend scheduling keeps your operation running and usually makes the job go faster because we are not working around customers and staff.
Do you handle tenant build-outs or new construction?
No. We focus on service work in buildings that are already in use: repairs, panel upgrades, lighting, code corrections, and maintenance. We are not a build-out or new-construction electrical contractor.
We have been cited for code violations. How fast can you correct them?
Call us with the citation. We inspect against the cited items and current NEC, quote the correction scope, and turn it around ahead of your re-inspection date. Getting the documentation right matters as much as the work.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled preventative maintenance covering panel inspection and thermal scanning, lighting maintenance, and parking lot lighting. It is far cheaper than the emergency call it prevents.
What size projects do you take on?
Everything from a single failed circuit in a storefront to panel upgrades, lighting, and industrial service work. We still show up for the small calls.
What does a commercial electrician do?
The same discipline as residential work at a different scale and under different code requirements. That means three-phase power, larger services and distribution, panel and switchgear work, lighting and lighting controls, dedicated equipment circuits, data and structured cabling, emergency and exit lighting, generators and transfer equipment, and the preventative maintenance that stops a facility having an outage. It also means working to a schedule that does not disrupt your operation and handling the permit and inspection side.
How much does a commercial electrician cost per hour?
National trade guides put commercial electrician labour somewhere in the region of 75 to 150 dollars an hour, with a higher rate for master-level work and a first-hour service call charge. Those are national published figures and not our rate. What actually sets the cost of your job is the scope, whether it is single or three phase, whether we are working live or during a shutdown, after-hours scheduling, and the permit and inspection requirement. We assess the work and give you the price before we start.
What is the difference between a commercial and residential electrician?
Voltage, phase, and consequence. Commercial work commonly involves three-phase power, higher voltages, conduit rather than cable, larger distribution equipment, and code requirements around egress, emergency lighting, and occupancy that do not apply in a house. The other difference is operational: a commercial job is planned around trading hours, tenant access, and a landlord or general contractor, and downtime is the expensive part rather than the inconvenience.
What qualifications should a commercial electrician have?
A Florida state certified or registered electrical contractor licence, general liability cover, and workers compensation for everyone on your site. Ask who holds the licence and whether the people doing the work are employees. Ask who pulls the permit and coordinates the inspection, since that is the contractor responsibility rather than yours. Kincaid holds Florida Master Electrical Licence EC0000873 and has been working Polk County commercial property since 1973.
How long does a commercial electrical panel upgrade take?
The on-site work for a straightforward panel replacement is commonly one to two days, but the project around it takes longer. Permit approval, equipment lead time on commercial gear, and coordination with the utility for a disconnect and reconnect are usually what set the schedule, and lead times on commercial equipment have been long in recent years. We schedule the changeover for the window that costs your operation the least, including nights and weekends.
