Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial electrical panels be inspected?
At Daven Electric Corp., we recommend having commercial electrical panels inspected at least once a year. If your building has high energy demands, older infrastructure, or critical systems like data centers or industrial equipment, you may need inspections more frequently—every six months is ideal.
As a trusted commercial electrical contractor, we also advise immediate inspections if you experience the following:
- Flickering lights
- Breakers tripping frequently
- Burning smells or hot panel surfaces
An experienced commercial electrician can identify early signs of corrosion, overload, or faulty breakers. Regular inspections keep your system safe and help you comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and OSHA regulations.
It’s also smart to combine your electrical panel inspection with a full electrical safety inspection to cover all bases. Don’t wait for a failure—proactive care saves money and downtime and protects your people.
How much does it cost to have a commercial electrical inspection?
The cost of a Commercial Electrical Safety Inspection varies depending on the size of your building, the complexity of the system, and any specific compliance needs. At Daven Electric Corp., pricing ranges from $300 to $1,200, but we provide customized quotes based on your property.
Factors that influence cost:
- Square footage of your space
- Number of electrical panels and circuits
- Type of commercial or industrial equipment
- Whether you need a basic check or a full electrical safety audit
As a licensed commercial electrical contractor, we’re transparent with pricing and offer affordable plans for routine preventive electrical maintenance. We also offer emergency inspections if you’re experiencing urgent issues.

Commercial Electrical System Safety Checks & Hazard Detection Services
We work with a wide range of commercial and industrial properties in New York City—from office buildings and warehouses to manufacturing plants, schools, and retail spaces. Our electrical safety inspectors conduct full commercial electrical inspections and wiring safety checks to spot risks early and keep your system safe.
Visual Inspection of the Exterior
Our inspection begins with a visual assessment of your exterior electrical components. We check for signs of damage, weather wear, and improper installation. This first step helps us spot issues that may impact your UL listed equipment and sets the foundation for a thorough building safety inspection.
Code Compliance Checks
We verify that your system is aligned with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes. Our licensed commercial electrical contractors ensure your property meets all necessary safety regulations, including OSHA compliance and NFPA 70E standards, helping you avoid costly violations and downtime.
Inspection of Electrical Panels and Distribution
We examine all electrical panels, breakers, and distribution points to catch signs of overheating, corrosion, or overload. A detailed electrical panel safety inspection helps prevent system failures and keeps your power flowing safely, especially in high-demand commercial electrical service environments.
Wiring and Connection Assessment
Old, damaged, or improperly installed wiring is one of the top causes of electrical fires. Our commercial electricians evaluate your wiring and all connections, conducting a full Commercial Wiring Safety Check to ensure your business’s reliability, safety, and long-term performance.
Testing of Outlets, Switches, and Fixtures
We test all outlets, switches, and fixtures to verify proper grounding, polarity, and function. Faulty components can pose safety hazards and impact productivity. This commercial electrical testing phase is essential for detecting risks and ensuring safe, consistent power distribution across your facility.
Load Assessment and Circuit Capacity Evaluation
Our team performs a load assessment to determine if your circuits are handling more than they’re designed for. Overloaded circuits are a serious fire hazard. This step helps us plan for future expansion and ensures your setup supports your current and projected electrical needs.
Fire Hazard Detection
Using our trained eyes and experience, we identify potential fire risks before they become emergencies. From faulty wiring to overloaded panels, our electrical hazard detection process helps you avoid disasters and maintain a safe environment for staff, tenants, and equipment.
Documentation and Reporting
After the inspection, we provide a clear and concise report outlining our findings. You’ll get documentation on electrical safety certification, code compliance inspections, and any necessary follow-ups. Everything is tailored to help you stay organized and meet safety regulations with confidence.
Client Communication and Recommendations
We don’t just hand over a report and walk away. Our electricians explain the results in plain language and offer practical next steps. Whether it’s a quick fix or a larger project, we’ll work with you to prioritize safety while minimizing disruption to your business.
Compliance Verification
Before wrapping up, we verify that all identified issues have been addressed and your property is now compliant with electrical safety standards, including NFPA 70E, NEC, and OSHA requirements. Our goal is to help you pass inspections with ease and run your operations worry-free.
