Kemp Co Electric handles the commercial electrical work that is too important for a handyman and too small to need a big contractor. Tenant improvements, LED lighting upgrades, retail and studio build-outs, and commercial service calls across Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland, and Lake Country. You deal directly with Kyle Kemp, the owner and a Red Seal and Master Electrician, from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

A lot of small commercial jobs in Kelowna still go to the biggest electrical contractors in town, and the business owner pays for that overhead. A single unit, a storefront, or a studio does not need a big crew. It needs an experienced commercial electrical contractor who shows up, does it right, and keeps the job moving.
Kemp Co works with:
We focus on small and mid-size commercial jobs. If your project is a multi-floor new build that needs several electricians on site for weeks, we will tell you that at the first conversation instead of wasting your time.
From a lighting retrofit to a full tenant fit-out, here is the commercial work Kemp Co takes on.
EV charging for staff and customer parking, and backup generators to keep you running through an outage.
Kemp Co has wired and lit commercial spaces across the Okanagan, including:
A tenant improvement electrician takes an existing commercial unit and rewires it for the new business moving in. That usually means moving or adding circuits, new lighting, dedicated power for equipment, and outlets where the new layout needs them. Kemp Co reviews your plans or walks the space, quotes the work in writing, pulls the permit, works with your contractor and landlord where needed, and books the inspection, so your electrical is signed off before opening day.
For most commercial spaces, yes. Plenty of Kelowna units still run on old fluorescent tubes and ballasts that flicker, hum, and fail one fixture at a time. LED fixtures use less power, last much longer, and give you cleaner, brighter light for staff and customers. Kemp Co is a registered FortisBC Trade Ally, so Kyle can point you toward any FortisBC programs your upgrade may qualify for.
Recent and current commercial jobs include two Pilates studio build-outs, one of them in Lake Country, and the electrical for a golf simulator.
Some buildings need an electrical operating permit that is renewed every year, instead of a separate permit for every small job. Under Technical Safety BC rules, that includes buildings with a service rated over 250 kVA, supply over 750 volts, fire alarm or emergency systems, or equipment that needs regular maintenance. Larger condos, strata buildings, seniors’ residences, and commercial buildings often fall into this group.
If your building already has an operating permit but the electrician on it is not the one you actually call, Kemp Co can be the licensed contractor named on your permit. That includes an annual inspection of the building’s electrical system, so the electrician who knows your building is the one on the permit.
