At first glance, a commercial location may not seem that much different from a residential one. In fact, in office areas, there may not be a real difference when it comes to electricity. However, once you step out of the office, you'll find that the electrical needs become far more specialized. That's when you need a commercial electrical service to handle things.
                         
In factory or shop environments, electrical needs typically increase in a very literal way. Some equipment requires three-phase power, other types run on 240 volts instead of 110/120, and the overall draw also increases. Everything except for standard 110/120 needs special wiring and equipment if it isn't already present, and residential contractors won't have experience dealing with this. If the proper power is in place, then an electrical contractor will be needed when it's time for repairs.
                         
If you're in retail, you'll still find that you need commercial electrical service. Specialized power is needed to run things like large refrigeration units, the huge banks of lighting needed for the sales floor, and more. The same goes for service providers like hair salons, which typically have outlets at every station as well as sit-down hair dryers and other such equipment. All of these things draw huge amounts of power when everything is in use, and a commercial electrical contractor understands that they all may need to run at once.
