Mississauga is home to one of North America’s densest concentrations of warehouses and distribution centers fueled by its proximity to Toronto Pearson Airport, major highway access (401, 403, 407, QEW), and position within the GTA’s logistics corridor. From Heartland Business Community to the Dixie Road industrial strip to the Airport Corporate Centre, the region’s warehouse infrastructure requires specialized electrical expertise.
Azan Electric provides comprehensive industrial electrical services for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and logistics operations across the GTA. With 22+ years of commercial and industrial electrical experience, we understand the demands of facilities that operate 24/7 and where every hour of downtime costs thousands in lost productivity.
From new construction to equipment upgrades, lighting retrofits to emergency repairs, we deliver licensed, ESA permitted industrial electrical work.
For lighting, we install and maintain high-bay LED lighting (60W-400W fixtures for 20-40 ft ceilings), aisle-specific lighting controls, occupancy sensors for warehouse aisles (major energy savings), motion-activated lighting in low-traffic areas, exterior parking and yard lighting, loading dock lighting, and office area lighting within warehouses.
For industrial power distribution, we install three-phase power circuits (208V, 240V, 480V, 600V), industrial outlets and receptacles (NEMA configurations for specific equipment), main and subpanel installations, bus duct and cable tray systems for large facilities, and motor control center (MCC) installations.
For equipment installations, we provide electrical for forklift charging stations (critical for electric fleet operations), conveyor system electrical, automated sorting equipment, loading dock levelers and seals, dock door operators and control systems, air compressor and pump electrical, and industrial machinery hookups.
On the safety and critical infrastructure side, we handle emergency lighting and exit signs per Ontario Building Code, fire alarm system coordination, backup generator and transfer switch installation, life safety electrical systems, security system integration (cameras, access control, alarm), and freezer and cold storage electrical.
For ongoing operations, we offer 24/7 emergency electrical response, scheduled after-hours maintenance, preventive maintenance contracts, thermographic panel inspections (detects hot spots before failure), and retro-commissioning for aging facilities.
Replacing legacy high-bay lighting (metal halide, high-pressure sodium, or T8 fluorescent) with modern LED high-bay fixtures is the single highest-ROI electrical project most warehouses make.
Typical savings from LED high-bay retrofit include a 50-70% reduction in lighting electricity costs, an 85% reduction in lamp replacement costs (LED fixtures last 50,000-100,000 hours vs. 10,000-20,000 for metal halide), elimination of warm-up time (LED instant-on vs. 5-15 minutes for metal halide), better light quality (higher CRI, consistent color across lifespan), and compatibility with occupancy sensors for additional savings.
For a typical 50,000 sq ft warehouse running 12+ hours daily, lighting energy costs commonly drop from $25,000-40,000 per year to $10,000-16,000 per year. Payback periods of 2-4 years are typical, with fixtures then delivering savings for another 8-10 years.
We handle complete retrofits: fixture-by-fixture replacement, occupancy sensor installation and programming, daylight harvesting integration for skylight-equipped warehouses, emergency backup lighting upgrades, and coordination with your operations to minimize disruption (we can typically retrofit one aisle at a time to maintain operations).
As fleets transition from propane forklifts to electric, dedicated charging infrastructure becomes critical. Electric forklift chargers require 240V or 480V three-phase circuits, proper ventilation (for lead-acid battery charging), rapid charging circuits for opportunity charging systems, and fast-charging for lithium-ion fleet transitions.
We design and install complete forklift charging stations including load calculation to size panel capacity, dedicated branch circuits per charger, proper grounding and bonding, ventilation coordination, clearly marked charging locations, and code-compliant installation per Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
For larger fleets, we design charging rooms with multiple stations, organized cable management, and battery maintenance areas. Proper charging infrastructure extends forklift battery life significantly and prevents downtime from inadequate charging capacity.
Many older warehouses in Mississauga operate on 400A or 600A service that was adequate decades ago but falls short of modern operations. Adding automated systems, LED lighting (with occupancy sensors drawing control power), forklift chargers, EV chargers for fleet vehicles, and modern security systems collectively demands more capacity.
We handle commercial panel upgrades including:
For warehouses planning expansion, we assess current capacity, project future needs, and design electrical infrastructure that supports 10-20 years of growth.
Industrial electrical projects vary dramatically by scope. Typical ranges for Mississauga-area warehouses:
All industrial work includes ESA permits, inspection, and workmanship warranty.
Industrial Electrical Project in Mississauga?
From high bay LED retrofits to full warehouse buildouts, get a commercial quote from a licensed industrial electrician with 22+ years of experience.
Yes. Most warehouse electrical work is scheduled during off-hours (overnight shifts, weekends) to avoid disrupting active operations. We understand that downtime costs money.
Yes. All of our industrial electricians are qualified for three-phase work including 208V, 240V, 480V, and 600V systems. This is standard warehouse electrical capability.
Yes. We typically retrofit warehouses one aisle at a time, allowing continued operations in other areas. For complete building shutdowns (often preferred for efficiency), we schedule during holidays or maintenance windows.
Yes. We install single-charger stations and full charging rooms for fleet operations. We handle load calculations, panel additions, and code-compliant installation.
Yes. Cold storage electrical has unique requirements including NEMA-rated fixtures (weatherproof and temperature-rated), moisture-resistant conduit, condensation-resistant design, and coordination with refrigeration contractors. We've handled multiple cold storage projects across the GTA.
Yes. We perform infrared thermography on electrical panels to detect hot spots, loose connections, and failing equipment before they cause failures. This is particularly valuable for older warehouses and facilities running 24/7.
