If there’s one thing we’ve learned working with businesses in Fort Myers, it’s that electrical problems rarely show up at a “good time.” They pick the busiest lunch rush, the start of a sales event, the middle of production, or that exact moment when everyone’s watching the clock. We’ve had restaurants lose power mid-service, offices go dark during tax season, and warehouses shut down their conveyor systems without warning.
That’s why commercial electrical maintenance isn’t something we treat as optional or “something you’ll get to later.” When we maintain a commercial electrical system, we’re not just tightening screws or checking outlets—we’re preventing shutdowns, equipment failures, and expensive surprises.
At Coharbor Electric, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when a business waits too long to maintain its electrical system. Breakers heat up, connections loosen, equipment strains, lighting burns out faster, and power quality dips. And because this is Fort Myers—where storms roll in hard and humidity never really leaves—the electrical strain is constant.
Simply put: maintenance keeps your business running. And we take that responsibility seriously.
Commercial electrical maintenance is different from residential maintenance in almost every way. Businesses push their systems harder, run them longer, add more equipment, and depend on uninterrupted power far more than the average home ever will.
Our maintenance services cover everything from routine safety checks to deep system evaluations. Here’s a breakdown of what we typically handle:
• Electrical panel maintenance
We inspect and tighten connections, check for overheating, clean out debris, look for rust or corrosion, test breakers, and verify labeling. Loose connections inside a commercial panel are more common than most people realize.
• Breaker testing and load evaluation
When equipment loads shift or increase, breakers start working harder. We make sure the circuits aren’t overloaded and the breakers are operating the way they should.
• Lighting maintenance (indoor & outdoor)
We handle LED retrofits, ballast replacements, emergency lighting checks, parking lot pole lighting, sign lighting, and more. Bad lighting can stop a business just as fast as a bad breaker.
• Annual or semi-annual safety inspections
We perform recurring checkups on panels, wiring, grounding, surge protection, emergency systems, and high-load equipment. Many businesses choose scheduled maintenance to avoid breakdowns during peak seasons.
• Wiring checks throughout the facility
We inspect exposed conduit, aging wiring, corrosion-prone areas, and any place moisture or pests can reach electrical components.
• Equipment connections & commercial load checks
From HVAC systems to commercial kitchen equipment to industrial machines, we confirm everything has proper power, grounding, and load distribution.
• Thermal imaging (when needed)
Heat tells the truth about failing electrical components. Hot spots inside panels or equipment help us catch issues early.
• Surge protection maintenance
Fort Myers is known for heavy lightning activity, and commercial surge protectors can wear out without anyone noticing until a surge hits.
• Emergency power system checks
If your building runs generators or backup systems, we inspect the electrical side to ensure everything integrates correctly.
Each maintenance visit is tailored to the business—not a one-size-fits-all routine. A bakery, for example, needs maintenance very different from a warehouse, and a medical office has different needs than a retail storefront.
Fort Myers isn’t gentle on electrical equipment. We get humidity that seeps into everything, salt air that corrodes metal, sudden storms that hit without warning, and frequent lightning that stresses panels and breakers. Add commercial loads to that mix, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for electrical problems.
Some of the issues we catch during maintenance—things businesses never knew were developing—include:
Breakers overheating from loose connections
Corroded terminals inside outdoor panels
Wiring insulation breaking down due to moisture
Panels overloaded from years of added equipment
Undersized circuits feeding heavy machinery
Burned contacts inside disconnect switches
Improper grounding or bonding from old renovations
Emergency lights that failed months ago
Flickering lights caused by failing ballasts or poor power quality
Most of these problems start small. A connection slightly loose. A breaker that feels warmer than usual. A piece of equipment drawing more amperage than its circuit was ever meant to handle. But small problems in electrical systems never stay small for long.
That’s where we come in. Maintenance lets us catch these issues long before they turn into downtime, repairs, or safety hazards.
We provide commercial electrical maintenance to businesses all across the Fort Myers area, including:
Restaurants & commercial kitchens
Retail stores & shopping centers
Medical & dental offices
Auto repair shops
Warehouses & industrial spaces
Manufacturing facilities
Office buildings & coworking spaces
Hotels & rental properties
Schools, churches, and community facilities
Some areas we frequently work in:
Downtown River District
Gateway & Treeline
Colonial Blvd corridor
Daniels Parkway business districts
McGregor Blvd & Cypress Lake
San Carlos Park & Three Oaks
North Fort Myers & East Fort Myers
Commercial buildings come in all shapes and ages. We’ve maintained systems in brand-new office spaces and buildings from the 1960s that have gone through a dozen remodels. Every one of them needs a slightly different approach, and we adjust our maintenance plans accordingly.
Businesses don’t just want a technician—they want someone who understands how their building works, how their equipment behaves, and how to keep everything running without interruption. Over the years, commercial clients have stuck with us for a few reasons:
We’re licensed, insured electricians experienced in heavy commercial work.
This isn’t guesswork. We understand large panels, high loads, and complex equipment.
We focus on preventing breakdowns, not just responding to them.
Maintenance is meant to save you time, downtime, and money.
We communicate clearly about what we find.
If something’s unsafe, we say it plainly. If it can wait, we tell you that, too.
We customize maintenance to match your building and operations.
Restaurants have different needs than offices. Warehouses have different needs than salons.
We’re familiar with Fort Myers weather and its electrical impact.
Humidity + commercial loads = unique challenges.
We help you stay compliant with code and insurance requirements.
Annual inspections and maintenance are often required by insurers or landlords.
We’re reliable and show up when we say we will.
A maintenance plan is only useful if it’s performed on time.
A manufacturing shop off the I-75 corridor contacted us after they’d experienced machines shutting down unexpectedly. It didn’t happen every day—just enough to notice—but they had no idea where the issue started.
During a maintenance visit, we found:
A main breaker running hotter than it should
Several loose terminations in the panel
Dust and metal debris inside the electrical room
An overloaded circuit feeding two machines
A failing disconnect with scorched contacts
Outdated fluorescent fixtures causing voltage dips when they fired on
Not one of these issues alone would’ve shut the shop down permanently, but together they were causing intermittent problems that cost the company time and money.
Here’s what we did:
Cleaned and tightened the panel
Redistributed machine loads to correct circuits
Replaced the damaged disconnect
Upgraded lighting to reduce startup spikes
Documented everything for their facility manager
A week later, the owner called and said they hadn’t had a single shutdown since the maintenance. That’s what proper electrical care does—it keeps operations smooth.
Q: How often should a business schedule electrical maintenance?
Most commercial properties benefit from annual maintenance. Higher-load businesses may need semi-annual service.
Q: Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes—many businesses choose recurring service to avoid emergency repairs.
Q: Will maintenance disrupt our operations?
We work around your schedule and often perform maintenance during off-hours.
Q: Can maintenance help us pass fire or insurance inspections?
Absolutely. Many issues inspectors flag are things we catch and correct ahead of time.
Q: Do you maintain both new and old electrical systems?
Yes—older buildings sometimes need extra attention, but we handle both.
If you want your Fort Myers business to run smoothly without electrical surprises, we’d be glad to help.
Reach out to Coharbor Electric to schedule a maintenance visit or set up a recurring plan.
Regular maintenance keeps your business safe, compliant, and running without interruptions—and we’re here to make sure of it.
