The commercial electrical contractor you choose decides how smoothly your project runs. Businesses across Rice Lake and Northwestern Wisconsin choose Meyers Electric because we work as a partner, not just a contractor. We understand tight deadlines, strict inspections, high energy demands, and the cost of every hour your doors are closed.
Our team pairs 40 years of field experience with disciplined project management. We work on small retail shops, multi-building facilities, and industrial electrical projects. Every job is built on accuracy and accountability, with results you can measure.
Licensed, Insured & Code-Compliant Commercial Electrical Work
Commercial electrical work in Wisconsin must meet the Wisconsin Electrical Code (SPS 316), which adopts the National Electrical Code (NEC) with state amendments. Every Meyers project is completed by licensed commercial electricians who know what inspectors, general contractors, and facility managers expect. We pull the permits and coordinate inspections for you.
We’re fully insured for commercial-scale work, so your business is protected on every job. Load calculations, panel upgrades, emergency lighting, and retrofits are documented and installed to code. Compliance isn’t a checkbox for us. It’s the foundation of a system that runs safely for decades.
A grid failure doesn’t pause your business, and your backup power shouldn’t either. Meyers Electric installs and services commercial standby generators that keep registers, refrigeration, servers, and heat running through ice storms, grid failures, and unplanned shutdowns. Here is how to prevent downtime from power failures.
As a Cummins-certified installer, we design and size generator systems for the higher loads and longer runtimes commercial facilities need, from Cummins diesel standby units to Centum Series power for critical sites. Retail stores, manufacturing lines, medical offices, and multi-tenant buildings get automatic switchover the moment the grid drops. Financing is available for generator installs.

Our Commercial Generator Services Include:
- Standby generator installation for commercial and industrial facilities
- Load analysis & sizing matched to your operation
- Automatic transfer switch integration for immediate switchover

Power for a pylon sign, a new lot light, or an outbuilding has to go underground, and the trench matters as much as the wire. Meyers Electric’s commercial trenching services and the electrical install are handled by one crew, so there’s no handoff gap and no finger-pointing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a commercial electrician?
A commercial electrician is a licensed electrician who installs, repairs, and maintains electrical systems in businesses and public buildings. Commercial work involves higher loads, three-phase power, conduit wiring, emergency lighting, and stricter inspections than homes. A commercial electrical contractor also manages permits, crews, and scheduling, which is what Meyers Electric does across Northwestern Wisconsin.
How much do commercial electrical services cost in Wisconsin?
Cost depends on scope, building size, load requirements, materials, permits, and site access. A breaker replacement and a full build-out sit in very different price ranges, so we quote every job from an on-site assessment with a written estimate. Financing is available for panel replacements and generator installations.
Why do breakers trip when multiple machines run at once?
Commercial equipment draws heavy current. When breakers trip under combined load, the circuits usually aren’t dedicated or the panel is undersized for your operation. Our commercial electricians run a load analysis, then install dedicated circuits or upgrade power distribution to support machinery, HVAC units, and production equipment.
How often should a commercial electrical system be inspected?
Most businesses benefit from an annual electrical inspection, and high-use or critical facilities often need more. NFPA 70B sets the standard for electrical maintenance programs, with intervals based on equipment condition and criticality. Regular commercial electrical maintenance catches loose connections, overheating, and wear before they cause downtime.
Are there rebates for commercial LED lighting in Wisconsin?
Often, yes. Focus on Energy, Wisconsin’s statewide energy efficiency program, offers incentives for qualifying business lighting upgrades, and some local utilities add their own. Eligibility and amounts change, so we check current programs during your estimate and recommend fixtures that qualify.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency commercial electrical service?
Yes. Meyers Electric provides 24/7 emergency electrical service for businesses across Northwestern Wisconsin. Call (715) 234-3901 for power loss, sparking equipment, or breakers shutting down operations. If you see smoke or smell burning, evacuate and call 911 first, then call us.
Can your commercial electricians handle residential work too?
Yes. Our team handles both. Many business owners in Rice Lake and the surrounding area use us for their homes, cabins, and farms as well.
