Number One's licensed Albuquerque electricians handle electrical service and repair for restaurants, shops, offices, and other commercial properties across the metro. Every call starts with finding the cause, because a business can't afford to have the same breaker trip again next week. We have served Albuquerque since 2005, and we answer the phone around the clock when an electrical problem can't wait. Call us or schedule online.
Commercial electrical work covers the same basics as a home, under heavier and more constant load: troubleshooting and repair of tripping breakers, dead circuits, failed outlets and switches, and loose or overheated connections; new circuits for kitchen equipment, signage, and other machines; wiring repair; and lighting repair and upgrades. When a building has outgrown its panel, we evaluate the load and talk through whether an electrical panel upgrade is the right fix or whether rebalancing the circuits you already have will do.
Because we also service commercial heating, cooling, and plumbing, we see how the electrical side ties into the equipment a business depends on. A rooftop unit that keeps shutting down, a walk-in that loses power, or a water heater that won't stay lit can be an electrical problem as much as a mechanical one, and one company can trace it from the panel to the equipment.
Some problems need attention right away: a burning smell, a hot or buzzing panel, sparking, or part of the building losing power. Others, like a circuit that trips when two machines run at once, can be scheduled before or after business hours so customers and staff are not interrupted. When you call, tell us what you are seeing and we will tell you which one it is.
By planning the work around your hours. We start with the panel schedule and the problem, find out which circuits feed what, and line up any shutoffs with you ahead of time so a register, a cooler, or a server room is not cut off by surprise. Lighting problems get the same approach, and our lighting repair service covers fixtures, switches, and the circuits behind them.
An accurate panel schedule saves time on every future call. In many older commercial spaces, the labels in the panel no longer match what the circuits actually feed, after years of tenant changes and added equipment. When we find a mislabeled panel, we tell you, and correcting it means the next breaker problem takes minutes to trace instead of an hour.
When the fix is bigger than a repair, such as adding capacity for new equipment, we walk you through what the job involves and how long the power needs to be off before any work starts. You get a clear explanation of the options, not a sales pitch.
Summer heat is the biggest strain. Rooftop air conditioning units, walk-in coolers, and refrigeration run hardest from June through September, and the electrical parts that control them, such as contactors, capacitors, and the connections feeding them, wear out fastest in that heat. A unit that trips its breaker on the hottest afternoon of the year is a common commercial call.
Monsoon season adds lightning and utility surges. Summer storms damage breakers, controls, and electronics, and wind-driven rain gets into exterior outlets, sign wiring, and rooftop disconnects. Equipment that stops working after a storm should be checked before it is reset.
Then there is age. Many commercial buildings along the city's older corridors have panels and wiring that were installed for very different tenants. A space that was a retail shop may now be a restaurant, and the circuits rarely kept up with the change, which is why overloaded circuits and overheated connections show up so often in older buildings.
We work with restaurants and food service, retail and hospitality spaces, medical and dental offices, office buildings, warehouses and light industrial facilities, and property management groups.
Many of them, yes. Most electrical failures give warning first: a breaker that trips more often, lights that dim when equipment starts, or a panel that runs warm. Having those checked early costs far less than a shutdown during business hours. The Uno Care Club Electrical plan includes an electrical system inspection, breaker panel cleaning, GFCI outlet testing, and a thermal imaging scan, and a Second Panel add-on covers a sub-panel. Members also get priority scheduling and one year of repair protection on covered repairs.
Members earn up to $600 annually and can bank up to $3,000 in credits.

Yes. Planned work that needs the power off can be scheduled before you open or after you close, so customers and staff are not interrupted. Weekend calls are billed at weekday rates; after-hours calls carry an additional charge.
A breaker trips to protect the wire behind it. Repeated trips usually mean too much equipment is sharing one circuit, a piece of equipment on it has a fault, or a connection is failing. The fix is to find which one it is, not to install a larger breaker, which lets the wire overheat.
Yes. We start by checking whether the panel has the capacity for the new load. If it does, we run a dedicated circuit for the equipment. If it does not, we explain the options before any work begins.
Yes. Because we also service commercial heating and cooling, we can trace a problem from the panel and disconnect to the unit's controls, whether the cause turns out to be electrical or mechanical.
