From creative workspaces to corporate headquarters, a reliable electrical infrastructure keeps productivity humming. Dr Electric specializes in tenant fit‑outs, power distribution and lighting solutions for offices and corporate campuses throughout the DMV. Our team delivers meticulous installations that support flexible floor plans, collaborative environments and advanced technology.
New tenants demand custom layouts. We design power and lighting plans for open offices, private suites and co‑working spaces, including ceiling grids, modular plug‑and‑play systems and panel upgrades. Our quick‑turn process ensures the space is move‑in ready on time.
Modern offices require flexible power distribution for desks, workstations and collaboration zones. We install raised floor systems, under‑floor busways and flush floor boxes to minimize cord clutter. Dedicated circuits prevent nuisance tripping and allow for future expansion.
Lighting affects productivity and energy costs. ASHRAE 90.1‑2010 requires each space enclosed by ceiling‑height partitions to have at least one control device (switch, dimmer or sensor) and mandates at least one control step between 30% and 70% of full lighting power. Automatic control devices (occupancy sensors) must be manual‑on (vacancy sensor) or turn lights on to no more than 50% automatically, with exceptions for corridors, lobbies and areas where manual operation would pose a safety concern. Moreover, occupancy sensors or timer switches must turn lighting off within 30 minutes of vacancy in conference rooms, break rooms, copy/print rooms, restrooms and office spaces up to 250 sq ft. We specify sensors, dimming controls and daylight harvesting to meet these requirements and create comfortable environments.
Boardrooms and huddle rooms depend on reliable AV power. We provide isolated circuits, surge protection and uninterruptible power supplies for displays, projectors, video conferencing equipment and networking gear. Clean power reduces glitches and downtime during presentations.
Office buildings require proactive maintenance to avoid disruptive outages. We offer preventive maintenance, thermal imaging, panel inspections and 24/7 on‑call service. Ongoing support ensures your electrical infrastructure adapts to tenant churn and evolving technology.
Office electrical systems must comply with multiple codes. NEC governs wiring, grounding and over‑current protection. NFPA 101 requires emergency lighting to illuminate paths of egress for 90 minutes and mandates independent backup power. ASHRAE 90.1‑2010 adds stringent lighting control provisions: spaces enclosed by ceiling‑height partitions must have manual controls and at least one dimming step between 30%–70%; automatic shut‑off is required for most spaces and must turn lights off within 30 minutes of vacancy. Automatic control devices should be manual‑on or turn lights on to 50% power or less. Our engineers design systems that meet these codes, coordinate permitting and provide documentation for occupancy inspections.
Lighting accounts for a major portion of office energy use. Upgrading to LED fixtures can dramatically reduce consumption; LEDs last as much as 25 times longer and use up to 90% less energy than incandescent lamps. LEDs are also up to 44% more efficient than fluorescent tubes. Integrating LEDs with networked controls and occupancy sensors allows lights to dim or turn off automatically when spaces are vacant and adjust to natural daylight, yielding up to 75% energy savings per room. Dr Electric installs responsive lighting systems, surge suppression and power‑quality solutions to protect sensitive electronics. We also upgrade service panels to accommodate EV charging stations, data rooms and future technology loads.
