Commercial Kitchen Circuits

Every piece of commercial cooking equipment has dedicated circuit requirements. Commercial ranges, ovens, fryers, steamers, and griddles are typically three-phase 208V or 240V equipment. Walk-in coolers and freezers require dedicated circuits sized for the compressor load. Dishwashers, steam kettles, and hot holding equipment each require their own circuit. We wire commercial kitchens with the correct circuit for each piece of equipment — not shared circuits that will trip under load.

Hood Ventilation Electrical

Commercial hood ventilation systems require dedicated circuits for the exhaust fan motor, makeup air unit, and hood lighting. In many Arlington TX restaurants, the hood ventilation circuit also connects to a fire suppression system interlock that cuts power to the cooking equipment when the suppression system activates. We wire the hood electrical correctly and coordinate with the hood and fire suppression contractors.

Three-Phase Power for Restaurant Equipment

Most heavy commercial cooking equipment is three-phase. If your restaurant space does not have three-phase service, we assess availability from Oncor at your specific address before you commit to equipment purchases. Adding three-phase service requires Oncor coordination and can take four to eight weeks if a transformer upgrade is needed. This is critical information to have before you sign a lease on a space that currently has only single-phase service.

POS, Register, and Technology Circuits

Every POS terminal, register station, and kitchen display system needs a dedicated or shared circuit that is protected from the noise and surges that commercial kitchen equipment creates. We install isolated ground circuits for POS systems in restaurant build-outs throughout Arlington TX.

Exterior Sign and Patio Lighting

Restaurant exterior signage, LED sign power, covered patio lighting, and outdoor dining area wiring are all part of the restaurant electrical scope. All exterior restaurant wiring uses weatherproof conduit and wet-rated or damp-rated fixtures appropriate for Texas weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact us when you have a space and a targeted opening date — ideally three to four months before opening for a new build-out. Restaurant electrical involves equipment coordination, permit review, rough-in inspection before walls close, and final inspection before occupancy. The health department will not approve a food service establishment with outstanding electrical inspection failures. Build the electrical timeline into your opening plan, not as an afterthought.

Yes. This is one of the most common restaurant calls we get. A prior retail tenant space or office space converting to a restaurant needs significant electrical work — three-phase service assessment, dedicated cooking equipment circuits, hood ventilation wiring, walk-in refrigeration circuits, and POS system circuits. We assess the existing electrical service at the site visit and give you a full scope before you commit to the project.
