New circuits and wiring
Bring power where equipment and workspaces need it. Share the intended layout, equipment requirements, and what is already installed so the project can be discussed as a whole.
Southwest Washington
Commercial Electrical Services
Focused electrical work for the spaces where business gets done. Discuss your office, existing system, or construction project directly with Colt.
Bring the layout, equipment details, and schedule.
For construction or a changing office, describe the intended use of the space and where power is needed. Include equipment specifications if you have them, and mention the stage of construction, existing finishes, and other trades involved. Share access requirements and any timing constraints at the start. Project scope, availability, and installation requirements are confirmed directly with Tane Electric.
See our service area →Plan the work around your space.
A new piece of equipment, a different office layout, or a problem in an existing circuit can change what your property needs. Tane Electric provides practical electrical service for offices and commercial projects across Southwest Washington. Start with the way the space will be used, then discuss the work needed to support it.
Electrical repair & troubleshooting
Get help understanding problems with existing office circuits, outlets, switches, and lighting. Explain what happens, which areas are affected, and whether new equipment or other changes preceded the issue.
Service upgrades
Review existing service capacity and the electrical demands of your planned additions with Colt.
Panel upgrades
Discuss aging panel equipment or electrical needs connected to a property improvement. Adding a circuit and replacing a panel are different jobs, so start by reviewing the existing system and your plans.
Lighting installation
Plan interior or exterior lighting for how the property is used. Tell Colt whether fixtures are being replaced in existing locations or whether new wiring will be needed.
Switches, outlets, and fixtures
Address everyday electrical details in offices and existing commercial spaces. Share the full list of replacements or improvements you want considered in the estimate.
Commercial Permits & Inspections
Code Compliance, Risk Mitigation & Seamless Inspections
We provide code-compliant commercial electrical installations backed by permit management. We coordinate directly with the appropriate electrical and building officials, general contractors, and project managers to prepare your electrical work for inspection and help keep your timeline on track. Inspection approval and scheduling remain with the responsible authority.
Commercial Compliance & Liabilities
Code & Safety Standards: Our electrical work follows the adopted National Electrical Code (NEC), applicable Washington and local amendments, and applicable workplace safety requirements, including OSHA standards.
Certificate of Occupancy (CO): An unresolved electrical inspection can delay occupancy approval, your opening date, and revenue. We plan the electrical scope and inspection milestones with your project team so electrical sign-off is considered alongside the other approvals your building needs.
Liability & Asset Protection: Permits, inspections, and retained approval records help document that your electrical improvements were completed through the required process. They support responsible property management and protection of your business assets. Insurance coverage depends on your policy and insurer; a permit alone does not guarantee coverage.
Commercial Work Requiring Permits & Specialized Plans
Projects that commonly require electrical permits and inspection include:
- New commercial build-outs, tenant improvements (TI), and retail spaces.
- Commercial electrical service upgrades, including three-phase power and transformer work.
- Dedicated circuits for industrial machinery, commercial kitchens, and server rooms.
- Emergency backup generators and egress lighting systems.
Some commercial projects require stamped engineered drawings and electrical plan review. Requirements depend on the facility, project scope, and authority. We identify the required design and review steps with your project team before the affected work begins, including whether a licensed engineer needs to prepare or stamp the plans.
Our Commercial Inspection Workflow
Plan Review Submission: Where electrical plan review is required, we coordinate the electrical layouts and supporting documents with your design team and the reviewing authority. Required plan approval is obtained before the affected installation begins.
Phased Inspections: We coordinate the required rough-in, above-ceiling, and final electrical inspections around your construction schedule. Work stays accessible until the relevant inspection is completed, including before walls are closed or ceiling tiles conceal the installation.
Corrections & Sign-off: If an inspector requests a modification, we review the correction notice, address items within our agreed electrical scope, and coordinate any required reinspection. We keep your project team informed about outstanding electrical items and provide the electrical approval records for your project closeout.

Yes. Tane Electric works on existing office systems, including circuits, panels, switches, outlets, fixtures, and troubleshooting. Describe the issue or improvement you have in mind when you contact Colt.
When should I discuss electrical work for a construction project?
Reach out during planning so the layout, equipment requirements, and construction schedule can be discussed together. Mention the other work underway and any access requirements.
Do I need an electrical permit?
Permit requirements depend on the electrical work and your property’s location. Talk directly to Colt about your project, and see our guide for local permitting authorities and inspection information. View Permits & Inspections →
