What could an LED retrofit save you?
Old fluorescent troffers, metal halide high bays and parking lot lights burn a lot of power for the light they give. Switching to LED usually cuts lighting energy by half or more, and the fixtures last years longer, so maintenance drops too.
Enter what you have and how long the lights run. The estimator shows roughly how much a commercial electrician could save you with an LED retrofit. Use the rate from your Georgia Power or Alabama Power bill for a closer number.

What affects the cost of a commercial electrician
Every commercial job is different, so we price it after we see the space and understand the scope. These are the things that change the number.
Size and type of spaceA small office suite is a different job than a restaurant kitchen or a warehouse.
Scope of workA handful of repairs, a lighting retrofit and a full build-out are each priced very differently.
Existing service and panelsOlder or undersized service may need upgrading before new equipment can be added.
SchedulingWork done after hours or in phases to keep you open can change labor time.
Equipment and fixturesSpecialty fixtures, controls and equipment connections add materials and time.

What does a commercial electrician do?
A commercial electrician handles the wiring, lighting, power and repairs for businesses instead of homes. That includes build-outs and new construction, panels and service upgrades, equipment circuits, interior and exterior lighting, parking lot lights, troubleshooting and code corrections for offices, shops and other commercial spaces.
Do you work on tenant build-outs and remodels?
Yes. We wire tenant build-outs, remodels and additions, from panels and circuits to outlets, lighting and equipment connections. If you have drawings from an architect or general contractor, send them over and we will review the electrical scope.
Can you work around our business hours?
Whenever we can. Disruptive work like shutting off power can often be scheduled early, late or in phases so you can stay open. We plan the schedule with you before the work starts.
How much can an LED lighting retrofit save?
Most businesses cut lighting energy by half or more when they replace fluorescent, metal halide or incandescent fixtures with LED, and they spend less on replacement lamps and ballasts. Use the savings estimator on this page for a rough number, and we will give you a real one after we see the space.
Do you install parking lot and exterior lighting?
Yes. We install and upgrade parking lot pole lights, wall packs, entrance and sign lighting, and we can convert older metal halide fixtures to LED for brighter, more even light at a lower operating cost.
Do you install EV chargers for businesses?
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers for employees, customers and company vehicles, and we plan the circuits around your building's electrical capacity. See our EV charger installation page for more.
Are you licensed for commercial work in Georgia and Alabama?
Yes. Sherrill Co., LLC holds Georgia electrical contractor license EN008188 and Alabama electrical contractor license 02198, so we can handle commercial electrical work in Columbus and Phenix City and across our service area.
What areas do you serve for commercial electrical work?
We serve businesses within about 40 miles of our Columbus shop, including Columbus, Fortson and Cataula in Georgia, and Phenix City, Smiths Station, Opelika and Auburn in Alabama. See our service area for the full list.
