Restaurant Electrician in Newmarket

How Restaurant Electrician Works

1. 1

   Kitchen walkthrough & equipment list

   We review your kitchen layout, existing panel capacity, and equipment nameplates (or planned equipment for a new build) to scope the work.

2. 2

   Circuit & code planning

   We plan dedicated circuits for cooking, refrigeration, and dish equipment, and confirm hood suppression interlock and emergency lighting requirements for your permit and inspections.

3. 3

   Installation scheduled around service hours

   We carry out the wiring, panel, and interlock work on the schedule that works for your kitchen, including overnight or early-morning windows before service.

4. 4

   Testing & sign-off

   We test every circuit and the suppression shunt trip under real conditions, and provide ESA inspection documentation for your health and fire inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hood suppression shunt trip and why does my kitchen need one?

A shunt trip interlock automatically cuts power (and gas, where required) to cooking equipment when your Ansul or wet chemical fire suppression system discharges. It’s required by fire code for commercial kitchen hoods and checked during fire inspections.

Can you add circuits for new kitchen equipment without a full rewire?

In most cases yes. If your panel has spare capacity, we can add dedicated circuits for new equipment like a fryer, cooler, or dish machine without touching the rest of the kitchen’s wiring.

Do you work around our operating hours?

Yes, we schedule restaurant electrical work for overnight, early-morning, or closed days so installation and repairs don’t interrupt service.

Can you handle electrical work for a new restaurant build-out?

Yes, we work with restaurant owners, kitchen designers, and general contractors on full electrical scopes for new builds and renovations, coordinated with your permit timeline and opening date.

Do you install walk-in cooler and freezer circuits?

Yes, we install dedicated circuits for walk-in coolers and freezers so refrigeration isn’t sharing a circuit with other kitchen equipment, reducing the risk of a nuisance trip spoiling inventory.

How much does restaurant electrical work cost?

Cost depends on your existing panel capacity, how many dedicated circuits are needed, and whether suppression interlock or emergency lighting work is involved. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your kitchen.
