What We Do
Six areas make up most of our commercial and industrial work. If your scope sits across several of them, that is normal and it is easier to run through one contractor than four.
- Tenant finish-out — full electrical for new tenant spaces, from panel and feeder work through devices, lighting and final inspection, scheduled against the landlord's delivery date
- Service and capacity upgrades — including three-phase service, main distribution and switchgear for facilities whose load has outgrown their original design
- Warehouse and high-bay lighting — LED retrofits and new installations, including controls and occupancy strategies that change what the space costs to run
- Machine and equipment wiring — feeders, disconnects and connections for production equipment, coordinated around installation and commissioning schedules
- Controls — control wiring and integration for equipment and building systems
Recent Work
Two projects that show the range, one industrial and one multifamily.
- Send-Cut-Send, Grand Prairie and Arlington — a multi-phase project wiring all machines through their expansion. Production equipment wiring is unforgiving work: the schedule is driven by equipment arriving and commissioning dates, and the electrical cannot be the reason a machine sits idle. Multi-phase means we came back as they grew, which is the part a one-off contractor cannot offer.
- Grand Prairie apartment community — a project replacing all external panels where the conductors had melted at the terminations. Phased across an occupied property so the number of units affected at any one time stayed small and predictable.
That second project is the one worth understanding if you manage buildings. Melted conductors in exterior main panels are not rare in DFW multifamily stock — the buildings were sized for the loads of their era and have been carrying modern ones for decades. We cover that work in more depth on the multifamily page.
Multifamily electrical servicesCapacity, and How to Check It
Facility managers screen contractors before they read anything else on a website, so here it is plainly. Clements Electric takes jobs over $100,000, and has run multi-phase industrial work and full external panel replacement in an occupied building at that scale. We are a licensed Texas electrical contractor, TECL #40628, verifiable with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. We meet the contractor requirements for service work at Amazon facilities, which is a useful shorthand because those requirements are not trivial to satisfy. Insurance certificates and bonding documentation are provided on request rather than published here.
We have been in business since 1982 and are veteran-owned. If your procurement process needs references, certificates or a prequalification packet, ask and you will get them.
Working in Live Facilities
Commercial and industrial work is a scheduling problem as much as an electrical one. Production does not stop because the electrical needs doing, tenants do not move their opening date, and an occupied apartment building has people in it. We plan outages in phases, coordinate utility disconnects and meter releases in advance rather than on the day, and work nights and weekends where the schedule demands it.
- Phased scopes that limit how much of the facility is affected at once
- Utility coordination arranged ahead of the work, not on the day
- Written outage plans before work starts
- Night and weekend work where production or occupancy requires it
- Permits pulled and inspections scheduled — requirements differ by city across DFW
