Commercial Lighting Services That Keep You Open
We install, repair, and upgrade business lighting to improve safety, visibility, and energy efficiency.
Commercial Lighting Services
At Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc., we help business owners, property managers, and facility teams keep their buildings bright, safe, and efficient. Our commercial lighting services cover everything from new lighting installation and fixture replacement to lighting upgrades, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance. We work in offices, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants, medical spaces, schools, churches, and other commercial properties that need dependable lighting systems that perform every day.
Good lighting does more than help people see. It affects safety, productivity, energy use, customer experience, and the overall look of your space. If your building has dim areas, flickering lights, outdated fixtures, frequent ballast issues, or high energy bills, we can help you find the right solution. We take the time to understand how the space is used so we can recommend lighting that fits your goals, your budget, and your building.
What Our Commercial Lighting Services Include
We provide a full range of commercial lighting solutions for interior and exterior applications. Our work may include:
- New commercial lighting installation

- LED lighting upgrades and retrofits
- Office lighting and retail lighting improvements
- Warehouse and industrial lighting solutions
- Parking lot and site lighting installation
- Security lighting and flood lighting
- Exit signs and emergency lighting

Whether you are building out a new space, remodeling an existing one, or replacing aging equipment, we can handle the electrical work needed to get the job done safely and correctly.
Commercial Lighting Installation
When a commercial property needs new lighting, proper planning matters. We install lighting systems for new construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and additions. We look at fixture layout, light levels, energy efficiency, switch placement, control options, and code requirements. Our goal is to deliver lighting that supports daily operations while also helping your business make a strong impression.
We install many types of commercial fixtures, including recessed lighting, panel lights, troffers, high bay lights, low bay lights, wall packs, canopies, pendant fixtures, track lighting, task lighting, and exterior building lights. We also install lighting for specific work areas, customer-facing spaces, storage areas, corridors, restrooms, conference rooms, and common areas.
LED Lighting Upgrades and Retrofits
Many commercial buildings still use older fluorescent, HID, metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lighting. These systems often use more electricity, need more maintenance, and do not provide the same light quality as newer LED systems. We help businesses upgrade to LED lighting to improve performance and lower operating costs.
LED lighting upgrades can offer several benefits:
- Lower energy consumption
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
- Longer fixture and lamp life
- Better brightness and more even light distribution
- Improved color quality and visibility
- Less heat output in many applications
- Better reliability for high-use spaces
If you want to improve efficiency without a full fixture replacement, we can also discuss retrofit options when appropriate. We will explain the pros and cons clearly so you can make the best choice for your property.
Interior Commercial Lighting
Indoor lighting affects how employees work and how customers feel in your building. A well-lit office can reduce eye strain and improve focus. A well-lit retail space can make displays stand out and create a better shopping experience. In warehouses and back-of-house areas, good lighting supports safety and workflow.
We design and service interior lighting systems for:
- Office buildings
- Retail stores and shopping centers
- Restaurants and hospitality spaces
- Medical and dental offices
- Schools and educational buildings
- Churches and community buildings
- Warehouses and industrial facilities
- Multi-tenant commercial properties
We can help improve general lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, break room lighting, conference room lighting, and hallway lighting. If certain areas are too dark, too harsh, or unevenly lit, we can recommend practical updates that improve comfort and function.
Exterior and Site Lighting
Exterior lighting is important for visibility, curb appeal, and security. We install and service outdoor lighting for building entrances, walkways, parking lots, loading areas, dumpster enclosures, signage areas, and perimeter zones. Proper site lighting helps customers and staff move around safely after dark and can help reduce security concerns around the property.
Our exterior commercial lighting services may include wall packs, pole lights, flood lights, parking lot lights, canopy lights, building-mounted fixtures, and photocell-controlled lighting. If your outdoor lights are failing, cycling on and off, staying dark, or causing uneven light coverage, we can troubleshoot the issue and make needed repairs or replacements.
Emergency Lighting and Exit Signs
Emergency lighting and exit signs play a critical role in life safety. Commercial properties need reliable emergency egress lighting so occupants can move safely during outages and emergencies. We install, replace, and service exit signs, battery backup units, combo emergency lights, and related lighting components to help keep your building compliant and prepared.
If your emergency lights are not testing properly, batteries are failing, or exit signs are damaged or outdated, we can inspect the system and recommend the right fix.
Lighting Controls and Energy-Saving Options
Modern lighting is about more than fixtures alone. Controls can help your business reduce wasted energy and improve convenience. We install and service lighting controls such as occupancy sensors, vacancy sensors, timers, daylight sensors, dimmers, photocells, and scheduling controls, depending on the needs of your property.
These systems can be useful in offices, storage rooms, restrooms, conference rooms, exterior areas, and buildings that operate on set schedules. We help you choose control options that make sense for your day-to-day operations without overcomplicating the system.
Lighting Repairs and Troubleshooting
Commercial lighting problems can interrupt business, create safety issues, and frustrate staff and customers. If lights are flickering, buzzing, tripping breakers, burning out too often, or failing completely, we can identify the cause and provide a reliable repair. Some issues involve lamps or fixtures, while others may point to wiring problems, damaged components, or electrical supply issues.
We approach troubleshooting carefully and professionally. Instead of guessing, we inspect the system, identify the source of the problem, and explain what is needed. Our goal is to solve the issue efficiently and help you avoid repeat problems.
Maintenance for Commercial Properties
For many businesses, lighting problems show up at the worst time. Regular maintenance can help reduce downtime and keep your property looking professional. We provide commercial lighting maintenance for properties that need help staying ahead of outages, worn fixtures, and performance issues. This can be especially helpful for high-traffic buildings, multi-site properties, or facilities with exterior lighting that affects safety and visibility.
Keeping up with lighting maintenance can help your business:
- Reduce unexpected fixture failures
- Maintain a safer environment for staff and visitors
- Protect the professional appearance of the property
- Catch small electrical issues before they become larger repairs
- Extend the performance of your lighting system

Why businesses trust our electrical work
Real feedback on lighting upgrades, fast service, and dependable results from Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc.
"Had them wire my shed from the existing extension cord set up to hard wired to my breaker panel....the work was done exceptionally and up to code!!!! Price was very very fair and was done in a couple of hours... I thought it would take longer and cost more.....will be calling them again for any electrical projects"
"Highly recommend! We had them come to install some fixtures at our home and we are very satisfied. Great work at a fair price."
"Aaron Hatchett came to the rescue after THE BIG WINDSTORM had torn the main power line from our house and we could not get help. He said "there is no way I can leave you here in danger with this thing hanging by a thread". He not only knew what to do to repair the problem, but he also knew what he had to do to work with the city inspector and the electric company. He stayed in clear communication, saved us money, and went above and beyond."
"Hatchett Electrical did an outstanding job replacing numerous panel boxes at several apartment/commercial properties we own. They worked through the process with Dominion and the cities public works and utility departments thoroughly and very knowledgeably. Hatchett also worked on other residential projects and did a great job. I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical for any commercial or residential electrical work."
"Hatchett Electrical was GREAT! They were punctual, honest, and did a great job! We had an issue with our bathroom receptacles and Chris had everything back up and running smoothly for us! He checked out our electrical box and discovered a few issues that he corrected for us as well. We were very grateful for his help. We would highly recommend this company and plan to use them again soon for more upcoming electrical projects. A++"
"I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical. I hired them to install permanent pole lighting and an electrical outlet on a pier I had constructed the previous year. The pier had an electrical connection for a boat lift installed by another electrician. Although problems were discovered by Hatchett Electrical, caused by the previous electrician, Aaron and company were able to work through this in a very professional manner. Their price was fair, they were very responsive as we worked through issues. I repeat. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any of your current and future electrical needs. Aaron is the best!"
"On time, On budget, great communication and follow up.. what more could you ask for!!!!"
"What a great bunch of folks!! Aaron worked HARD to ensure my electrical was perfect for my home remodel. He was on the phone negotiating when there were problems with vendors. He was my champion when things didn’t go quite as planned (through no fault of Hatchett Electrical). I met two different crews during their work with us. Both crews were personable, competent professionals, and very helpful when asked to do something new. My project was not a common everyday install, but there was no hesitation to venture into new territory and I believe they were just as excited as I was to ‘figure it out’. Eric and Nate especially were tasked with the majority of the install. From electrical panels to light switches to overhead inserts to countertop lighting, they did EVERYTHING as requested, even when mistakes were made that others may have become frustrated by. It is not often that you can feel 100% confident that your request will be completed with exemplary workmanship. This, however is the case with Hatchett Electrical. Their steadfast determination to provide a professional product was evident at every turn. Without any hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I could not be more pleased with everything that they did for my project. Outstanding, excellent work! They will most definitely be my go to electrical team moving forward!"
"Hatchett electrical provided outstanding service! They were prompt and very thorough."
"Bud did an excellent job hooking up my shed to have constant power so that I no longer need to use extension cords ran from the front door."

"Hatchett Electrical has completed multiple projects at our home and we are incredibly satisfied every time with the quality of work and professionalism! Everything is explained well and they truly take pride in their work! Strongly recommend!"
"Always ready to help and easy to work with!"
"Issue: a simple 120V light switch in kitchen that controls garbage disposal stopped working, and the wire was still HOT! As a homeowner, I bought new light switch thinking that was issue, change out, still no power. I called Aaron at Hatchett to make an appointment. He was gracious and professional to a point where he quickly trouble-shot the problem, suggested hitting the reset button on the disposal; which correctly the issue. He could have driven out, made the $120 plus cost for any materials, but he was more concern about resolving an issue. That is customer service and a business that is all about you the homeowner!! Bravo Zulu!!"
"I recently called Hatchett Electrical, last minute on a Monday, and was immediately set-up with an appointment for that same afternoon! The electrician was already finished with his jobs for the day but took the call to come to my house that afternoon around 3pm. He was right on time, walked me through the initial troubleshooting, and was very straight forward and honest the whole time during the appointment. He found and fixed our issue with some bad connections outside on our patio in less than an hour! I was highly impressed with the customer service of this company and will definitely use them again."

They were pleasant, knowledgeable, patient and cleaned up when they were done. I have since used them for a few other unrelated projects, today they installed two outdoor motion sensor lights, and again have been very pleased.
