Bretco Electric Company keeps Triad businesses powered, protected, and up to code, with minimal disruption to your day.
Electrical Installation and Maintenance for Local Businesses
Running a business means your electrical system has to work every single day, without exception. A dead outlet, a tripped panel, or flickering lights at your front entrance does more than inconvenience you; it costs you customers and productivity.
Bretco Electric Company provides commercial electrical services for retail shops, restaurants, professional offices, and light industrial spaces throughout Winston-Salem and the surrounding towns. Whether you run a retail store on Stratford Road or an office park off Peters Creek Parkway, we handle everything from a single outlet repair to a full electrical panel upgrade, scheduling work around your business hours whenever possible.
Many of the commercial buildings around Winston-Salem, High Point, and Kernersville were built decades ago and have had electrical systems added onto piecemeal over the years. Our electrical contractor team inspects, troubleshoots, and brings those older systems up to current demand and code requirements.
Benefits of Working With a Dedicated Commercial Electrician
Business owners need an electrician who understands commercial codes, inspection timelines, and the cost of downtime. Here's what sets commercial work apart, and why it pays to hire a team that specializes in it:
- Faster electrical troubleshooting that identifies the root cause, not just the symptom
- Electrical panel upgrades sized correctly for your equipment and future growth
- Scheduled electrical maintenance that catches problems before they cause a shutdown
- Surge protection installation to safeguard computers, point-of-sale systems, and refrigeration
- Energy efficient lighting and LED lighting installation that lowers your monthly utility bill
- Code-compliant electrical service upgrades for renovations, new tenants, or added equipment

Warning Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Attention
Older commercial buildings around downtown Winston-Salem and the strip centers along Peters Creek Parkway and University Parkway often carry electrical systems that were never designed for today's equipment loads. Watch for breakers that trip during peak business hours, warm outlet covers, or lights that dim when HVAC units or kitchen equipment kick on.
Storm season in the Triad brings another concern. Power surges from lightning and grid fluctuations during summer thunderstorms can damage sensitive equipment like registers, servers, and refrigeration units without warning, which is why many business owners add whole house surge protection or commercial-grade surge protection installation as a precaution.
If your building is scheduled for a tenant change, equipment upgrade, or renovation, that's also the right time for an electrical inspection. Catching an undersized panel or outdated wiring before a buildout saves money compared to addressing it after the fact.
