New construction electrical
Ground-up commercial projects from underground and rough-in through trim-out and final inspection. We read the plans, coordinate with the other trades, and keep our part of the schedule on the date it was promised.
Commercial
Commercial Electrical Contractor
Northwest Wattage does new construction electrical on commercial building projects and commercial service calls across the Inland Northwest. Over 20 years in the field, licensed in both Idaho and Washington, and used to working inside somebody else’s schedule.
Built for the build
A contractor who shows up ready
If you’re a general contractor, a builder, or a business owner with a space to fit out, what you want from an electrical sub is fairly simple: an accurate number up front, a crew that hits the dates it agreed to, and a phone that gets answered. We’ve been doing that work for over 20 years across residential and commercial electrical.
At Northwest Wattage we strive to lead the way in our industry with design, style, and execution of work. On a commercial project that shows up as organized rough-in and a crew that coordinates with the other trades instead of working around them. We have the skill set, equipment, and attention to detail it takes to deliver a quality product on time.
Estimates are free. Permits and inspections are handled. Call Jason at (208) 704-6060 and walk us through the project.
Scope
What we do on commercial work
From an empty shell to a punch-list callback two years later, it’s the same company and the same standard.
Tenant improvements & remodels
Reworking an existing space for a new use or a new tenant: circuits moved, added, or removed, lighting relaid out, devices where the new floor plan actually needs them, and old work brought up to current code as we go.
Commercial service calls
Something is dead, tripping, or acting up and it’s costing you the day. We troubleshoot it, tell you plainly what we found, and fix it — and you hear from us while we’re in your building, not after.
Lighting & controls
Interior and exterior lighting laid out and installed, plus dimming and lighting control including Lutron. The same design eye we bring to custom homes applies when a space has to look right and light right for the people using it.
Panel & service upgrades
Panels and services upgraded or replaced when the existing gear is undersized, obsolete, or in the way of what you’re adding. Load handled correctly, permits pulled, inspection scheduled.
Generators & backup power
Backup power for the equipment and systems that can’t sit idle when the power goes out. Installed, wired, and inspected so it works the night you actually need it.
Idaho and Washington
Licensed in two states
The Inland Northwest doesn’t care about the state line, and neither does your project schedule. Northwest Wattage holds an active Idaho Electrical Contractor License, #031721, and an active Washington Electrical Contractor License, NORTHW*822DE. That means one electrical contractor, one point of contact, and one standard of work on both sides of the border.
For a GC running jobs on both sides of the state line, that’s one less sub to qualify, one less bid package to chase, and one less crew to bring up to speed on how you like to run a site.
We’re also bonded and rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. License numbers are right there to verify with either state before you hand anybody a contract, and we’d rather you did.
How we run it
Working inside your schedule
On a commercial job, the electrical isn’t the point — opening the doors is. Everything below exists to keep your dates from moving.
Free estimates, real numbers. Send us the plans or walk us through the space and we’ll price it at no charge. We’d rather spend the time up front getting the scope right than surprise you with it later.
Permits and inspections handled. We pull the permits and we schedule the inspections. It’s the same process we run on code-compliance and pre-sale correction work, and the point of it is that the paperwork isn’t your problem.
Coordination with the other trades. Over 20 years of rough-in means we know where the mechanical, the plumbing, and the framing want to be, and we lay our work out with that in mind rather than sorting it out later.
A clean job site. We clean up behind ourselves. The next trade in gets a space they can work in, and the owner gets a building that looks finished when it’s finished.
Straight answers. If something in the plan won’t work, or there’s a cheaper way to get you the same result, you’ll hear it from us while there’s still time to do something about it.
