Commercial Electrical Service & Repair in Charleston, SC
Electrical problems in a commercial building are expensive in a way that has nothing to do with the repair bill. A tripped main during business hours means closed doors, spoiled inventory, and staff standing around on the clock. SouthTech Electric takes the call, finds the actual cause, and fixes it.
We work with property managers, facility directors, restaurant and retail operators, and business owners throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Orangeburg, and Columbia. Call when you need us — there is no contract to sign and no plan to enroll in.
Commercial Electrical Work We Take On
-
Panel and switchgear troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, overheating connections, and unbalanced loads traced to the actual fault instead of the obvious symptom.
-
Lighting repair and relamping
Interior, exterior, parking, and emergency egress lighting repaired or replaced, including ballast and driver failures.
-
Circuit tracing and fault finding
Dead outlets, intermittent circuits, and nuisance trips run down properly, including the ones nobody has been able to find.
-
Equipment hookups and added circuits
New kitchen equipment, machinery, HVAC, and EV charging wired in and brought up to the capacity the equipment actually calls for.
-
Written findings after the call
You get a clear account of what failed, what we did, and anything else we noticed that is worth budgeting for.
-
Code-compliance corrections
Violations flagged by an inspector, insurer, or fire marshal corrected to current NEC and South Carolina requirements.
Why Facility Managers Call SouthTech
- One licensed contractor accountable for the work, rather than a rotating cast of whoever was available.
- Work scheduled around your operating hours — including nights and weekends — so a repair never costs you a business day.
- Honest diagnosis and a straight estimate before the work starts, not after.
- Coastal-specific expertise: salt air corrodes commercial equipment on a timeline inland contractors do not plan for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a service contract to call you?
- No. We work job by job. Call when something breaks, when you need equipment wired in, or when an inspector flags a problem, and we quote that work on its own.
- What size commercial property do you work on?
- Everything from single-tenant restaurants and retail suites to multi-building properties and small industrial facilities. There is no minimum job size or square footage.
- How fast can you get out for a service call?
- It depends on current call volume and where you are. Call (843) 926-1919 and we will give you an honest arrival estimate rather than an optimistic one. Genuine emergencies — power loss, sparking, burning smells — move to the front.
- Can you work outside our business hours?
- Yes. Most commercial work is scheduled at night, early morning, or on weekends specifically so your operation is not interrupted.
- Will you tell me what else needs attention?
- Yes. If we spot something while we are on site — a failing breaker, an overloaded panel, a code issue — you hear about it with an honest read on urgency. What you do about it is your call.
