Find the Cause of a Commercial Electrical Problem
Electrical problems are not always obvious. A circuit may work intermittently, lights may flicker without a clear reason, an outlet may behave inconsistently, or part of a commercial property may lose power while the rest continues operating normally.
Strive Electric provides commercial electrical troubleshooting throughout Colorado Springs and surrounding communities. With more than 35 years of electrical experience, we diagnose problems in existing business and commercial spaces so the appropriate next step can be determined.
As a licensed and insured electrical contractor, we bring master electrician expertise to commercial electrical diagnosis.
Diagnosing Intermittent Electrical Issues
Some electrical problems come and go. A light may flicker only occasionally, an outlet may work at certain times but not others, or another electrical issue may disappear before returning later.
These situations can be difficult to address based on the visible symptom alone.
Rather than assuming which component is responsible, Strive Electric evaluates the affected area to determine what is contributing to the inconsistent behavior. Once the source is understood, the appropriate repair or other electrical work can be considered.

Commercial Electrical Problems We Troubleshoot
Troubleshooting is appropriate when an electrical problem is present but the source is unknown or the issue does not happen consistently.
Commercial electrical problems we can investigate include:
- Unexplained power loss
- Intermittent electrical problems
- Flickering or inconsistent lighting
- Outlets that work inconsistently
- Switch problems with an unclear cause
- Recurring circuit issues
- Electrical problems affecting part of a property
- Inconsistent power to electrical equipment
- Problems with existing electrical installations
- Electrical issues that continue to return
Once the source is identified, we can explain what work should be considered to address it.
Troubleshooting Power & Circuit Problems
Power and circuit problems can affect one part of a commercial property while other areas continue operating normally. A section of the building may lose power, a particular circuit may behave unexpectedly, or certain outlets, lights, or connected equipment may be affected.
The component where the problem appears is not always where the source is located.
We evaluate the affected portion of the electrical system to narrow down what is happening. From there, we can determine whether the next step involves a repair, component replacement, or another electrical improvement.
Troubleshooting Lighting, Outlets & Existing Installations
Lighting, outlets, switches, and other electrical components can sometimes behave inconsistently even when the reason is not immediately apparent.
Troubleshooting allows us to evaluate more than the visible symptom and consider the electrical connections serving the affected area.
This can be particularly useful in existing commercial spaces where the electrical setup has changed along with the property over time.
Experienced Electrical Diagnosis for Commercial Properties
Commercial electrical systems can serve many areas, circuits, fixtures, and pieces of equipment. Diagnosing a problem requires looking at how the affected portion of the system is operating rather than relying only on the symptom.
With decades of hands-on electrical experience, Strive Electric takes a practical approach to commercial troubleshooting. We focus on identifying the source, explaining what we find, and determining the appropriate next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial electrical problems can you troubleshoot?
We can investigate unexplained power loss, intermittent lighting problems, inconsistent outlets, recurring circuit issues, switch problems, equipment power concerns, and other electrical issues where the cause is not immediately clear.
Can you troubleshoot an electrical problem that only happens occasionally?
Yes. Electrical problems that occur intermittently can require troubleshooting to identify the cause. We can evaluate the affected area and work to determine what is contributing to the problem.
What happens after you identify the electrical problem?
Once the cause is identified, we can explain what we found and what electrical work should be considered. Depending on the issue, the next step may involve a repair, component replacement, or another appropriate electrical improvement.
