All across Iowa, with projects from small coffee shops to wiring full mixed-use developments, Tesdell Electric is proud to join with commercial construction companies and property owners to perform electrical installations, install life safety and technology solutions, and more in an efficient and timely manner.

ELECTRICAL DESIGN/BUILD SERVICES

An electric contractor should serve as more than just a contracted team of experts; Tesdell Electric truly joins your team to provide added value to your project. With high-level and long-term experience in value engineering, Tesdell project managers work with your team to ensure cost and time are well spent without sacrificing quality. For over 45 years, our commercial design team has shown outstanding competence in design/build projects that fit your goals while ensuring your project complies with current electrical and energy codes.

SITE WORK AND UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC

When it comes to laying the groundwork for your site, proper installation is crucial. From installing new conduit to identifying and repairing cable breaks in your current system, Tesdell Electric offers quick and cost-effective services to meet your needs. Our experienced team has completed work for sites of all sizes utilizing state-of-the-art conduit plowing machinery that leaves behind very little surface damage and/or radio-guided boring machines to install conduit in hard-to-reach places.

COMMERCIAL GENERATOR INSTALLATION

Getting caught without power can be a huge detriment to keeping your business running, causing you to lose product and productivity. Tesdell Electric installs standby and emergency generators that quickly restore power when you need it. Most are available in EPA-compliant diesel, gas, and LP configurations. Generator controls are customized to your unique specifications while keeping ease-of-use and simplicity in mind.

Power Quality Analysis

Ensure that your electrical infrastructure is well maintained and functioning properly. Our trained technicians utilize state-of-the-art power quality meters to collect and analyze electrical data from your business, helping to identify and isolate electrical issues such as transients, under and overvoltages, and more. We also deploy FLUKE thermal imaging cameras to identify electrical issues in switchgear and panels before they become unexpected failures.

COMMERCIAL LIGHTING & SHADING SYSTEMS

Save money on the operational costs of your commercial property. On average, lighting costs account for 40 percent of office building electrical bills, so it is important to utilize an efficient lighting and shading system that will maximize your savings. Tesdell Electric installs Lutron Lighting and Shading systems that are known to have reduced energy consumption by up to 60 percent or more.
