Whether you are renovating an existing office space or building out a new tenant suite, the electrical system is the backbone of your daily operations. Every workstation needs reliable power and data connectivity. Conference rooms need AV capability. Server closets need dedicated, climate-controlled circuits. Getting the electrical layout right from the start prevents costly rework and downtime after your team moves in.
Unity Power & Light provides complete office build-out electrical services throughout Aiken, SC and the surrounding area. We work directly with property managers, tenants, and general contractors to design and install electrical systems that meet your specific office requirements. From a small professional suite to a multi-floor commercial build-out, we deliver clean, code-compliant work on schedule so your business can open its doors on time.
What We Do
Our office electrical services cover every aspect of a modern workspace, from individual cubicle power to building-wide emergency systems.
Cubicle & Workstation Power
We install floor boxes, power poles, and wall outlets designed for open-plan and cubicle layouts. Each workstation gets adequate receptacles for computers, monitors, chargers, and desk lamps without overloading a single circuit.
Conference Room AV Wiring
Conference rooms require dedicated circuits for projectors, displays, video conferencing systems, and powered speakers. We install recessed outlets, HDMI and network drops, and ensure clean cable management from the table to the ceiling.
Server Room & IT Closet Circuits
Server equipment demands dedicated 20-amp circuits, isolated grounds, and often 208V or 240V power for UPS systems and rack-mounted hardware. We wire server rooms with the capacity and redundancy your IT infrastructure needs.
Emergency & Exit Lighting
Commercial office spaces must meet SC fire code requirements for emergency egress lighting and illuminated exit signs. We install battery-backed emergency lights and test them to confirm compliance before your final inspection.
Break Room & Kitchen Circuits
Office kitchens and break rooms need dedicated circuits for microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, and dishwashers. We install GFCI-protected outlets and ensure the panel has capacity for these high-draw appliances.
Lighting Design & Controls
We install energy-efficient LED fixtures, occupancy sensors, dimmers, and daylight harvesting controls tailored to your office layout. Proper lighting improves productivity and reduces your monthly electric bill.
Our Office Build-Out Process
Review Plans & Walk the Space
We start with your architectural drawings and floor plan, then walk the space to assess existing electrical infrastructure. We identify panel capacity, existing circuits, and any work needed to bring the space up to code before the build-out begins.
Design the Electrical Layout
Based on your workstation count, equipment needs, and lighting requirements, we produce a detailed electrical plan. This includes circuit assignments, outlet placement, switch locations, and panel scheduling so every detail is accounted for before rough-in starts.
Rough-In & Infrastructure
We run conduit and wiring through walls and ceilings, install junction boxes and panel boards, and coordinate with other trades to avoid conflicts. All rough-in work is completed before drywall goes up, keeping the finished space clean and professional.
Finish, Test & Inspect
After walls are closed, we install devices, fixtures, and cover plates. Every circuit is tested for proper voltage, grounding, and load capacity. We coordinate the final inspection with the local building department and correct any findings on the spot.
Why Professional Office Electrical Matters
Office electrical systems are more complex than residential work and must meet commercial building codes. Here is why professional installation is essential.
Code Compliance & Inspections
Commercial office spaces in Aiken must pass electrical inspection before occupancy. Requirements include proper circuit separation, emergency lighting, accessible panel clearance, and ADA-compliant outlet heights. We handle the permitting and ensure your build-out passes inspection the first time.
Adequate Circuit Capacity
Underestimating power needs leads to tripped breakers, equipment damage, and lost productivity. We calculate loads based on your actual equipment list -- computers, printers, HVAC units, kitchen appliances -- and size your panel and circuits to handle the demand with headroom for growth.
Data and Power Coordination
Modern offices depend on clean power for sensitive IT equipment. Electrical interference from improperly routed wiring can disrupt network performance. We coordinate power and low-voltage runs to maintain proper separation and signal integrity throughout the office.
Minimizing Disruption
If your build-out is happening in an occupied building, we schedule work to minimize noise and power interruptions to neighboring tenants. We plan shutdowns carefully, communicate timelines clearly, and keep the work area safe and contained at all times.
Office Build-Out Electrical Pricing
Unity Power & Light provides detailed project estimates for office build-outs. Every project is quoted based on the scope of work, not hourly rates, so you know your costs upfront.
Final pricing depends on the size of the space, number of workstations, equipment specifications, and existing infrastructure condition. We provide a complete written estimate after reviewing your plans and walking the site.
