We’ve all experienced it. You’re making dinner when the kitchen outlets suddenly stop working, or you walk into a room and discover the lights won’t turn on. Your first thought might be that something serious has happened to your home’s electrical system. The good news is that not every electrical problem requires a major repair.…
Electrical emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time. A restaurant loses power during the dinner rush, a warehouse experiences an equipment failure overnight, or a retail store suddenly has no electricity on a busy Saturday afternoon. Whatever the situation, electrical problems rarely wait for regular business hours, and the longer they…
Electrical problems rarely show up out of nowhere. Most start small — a breaker that trips more often than it used to, a panel that runs a little warmer than it should, a light fixture that flickers before it fails outright. Catch those signs early and a fix is usually quick and inexpensive. Miss them,…
A power outage gets expensive fast for a business. Computers shut down, equipment stops, payment systems go offline, and employees can’t work. Depending on the operation, it can also hit refrigeration, security, heating, and communications. That’s why we encourage Central Alberta businesses to think about backup power before they need it. Commercial backup generators keep…
Power interruptions can happen when least expected. In a commercial building, however, losing electricity can be much more serious than simply having the lights go out.

When that infrastructure is not working properly,…
When it comes to commercial buildings, few systems are as important as the fire alarm system. While most business owners hope it never needs to be used, a properly functioning fire alarm system can make the difference between a minor incident and a devastating loss. More importantly, it gives occupants valuable time to evacuate safely…
Installing new equipment is an exciting step for any business. Whether you are expanding production, upgrading your facility, or opening a new location, new equipment often represents a significant investment in your company’s future. Before that equipment can begin delivering results, however, it needs to be connected to your electrical system correctly. At Postma Electric,…
When a commercial space changes hands, the new tenant often has very different operational requirements than the previous occupant. A retail store may be converted into a medical clinic, a warehouse may become a distribution centre, or an office space may need to accommodate specialized equipment. While layout and finishes often receive the most attention,…
When people think about a new commercial building, they often focus on the visible elements such as the structure, exterior finishes, or future tenant spaces. What many do not see is the electrical infrastructure that makes the entire building functional. Base building electrical work forms the foundation of every successful commercial development, creating the systems…
