Commercial Safety & Security
Emergency lighting, security systems, and video installations handled by licensed electricians who understand commercial code compliance — and take it seriously.
Commercial safety and security systems are only as good as the electrical work behind them. An emergency lighting system that fails during a power outage, a security camera that goes dark because of a loose connection, or a system that doesn’t meet code — these aren’t just inconveniences. They’re liabilities.
At Finlayson Electric, we handle the full electrical installation for commercial safety and security systems — cleanly, correctly, and with all required permits and inspections. We work with property owners, building managers, and general contractors across Southern NH and Northern MA who need this work done right the first time.
Whether you’re outfitting a new space, upgrading an existing system, or ensuring code compliance ahead of an inspection, we bring the same level of care and communication to every commercial safety project that we bring to every job we take on.
What's Included
Commercial Safety & Security Electrical Services.
Emergency Lighting Installation
Code-compliant emergency lighting systems that activate automatically during a power failure — ensuring safe egress for occupants and meeting NFPA and local fire code requirements. We handle new installations, replacements, and system upgrades.
Exit Sign Installation & Replacement
Illuminated and LED exit signs installed, wired, and positioned to meet code requirements. We handle new installations and replacements on existing systems, including battery backup units.
Security & Video System Wiring
Electrical rough-in and wiring for commercial security cameras, access control systems, and video surveillance installations. We provide clean, concealed wiring runs and dedicated circuits to support your security infrastructure.
Access Control Electrical Hookup
Power supply installation and wiring for keypad entry systems, card readers, electric door strikes, and magnetic locks — integrated cleanly into your building's existing electrical system.
Dedicated Circuit Installation
Safety and security systems require reliable, dedicated power. We install properly sized dedicated circuits from your panel to each system — ensuring consistent power without the risk of overloaded shared circuits.
Code Compliance & Inspection Readiness
We ensure all safety and security electrical work meets current NEC, NFPA, and local code requirements — and coordinate all required inspections so your space is ready for certificate of occupancy or annual compliance review.
Code Compliance Isn't Optional.
Commercial safety and security systems are subject to strict code requirements — and the consequences of getting it wrong go beyond a failed inspection:

Life Safety Requirements
Emergency lighting and exit signage are life safety systems. NFPA 101 and local fire codes mandate specific placement, coverage, and backup power — requirements that only licensed electricians are qualified to meet.

Certificate of Occupancy
Failing a safety inspection delays your certificate of occupancy and holds up your entire project. We do it right the first time so you're not scrambling to correct violations at the finish line.

Insurance & Liability
Non-compliant safety systems can void your commercial insurance coverage and create significant liability exposure. Licensed installation with proper documentation protects your business.

System Reliability
A security system is only as reliable as its electrical foundation. Properly installed dedicated circuits and clean wiring mean your systems work when you need them — not just when conditions are ideal.

H.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was such a pleasure working with Finlayson Electric and specifically the owner Scott. I thought I had a major problem, but thankfully it turned out to be a simple fix. Scott sent one of his team members out immediately and he was able to fix the issue in no time at all! I would highly recommend Finlayson Electric for all your electrical needs. Other family members and friends have used Finlayson Electric and they agree with me 100%!

If you don’t call them, you’re doing yourself a disservice. J BachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The guys showed up on time and were well prepared. They kept us informed of the progress and technical details. It's refreshing to know that there are companies out there like Finlayson that are honest and fair. We'll definitely be using them again and highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Kerry BolesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott was prompt and professional, not only with the jobs but with the estimate as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better electrician to complete the work. Scott and crew added a whole house surge protector, added an outlet in a bedroom and installed a motion sensor light on the garage! Thanks again Scott!!! Alexis WinnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott and his team came out in an emergency when a transformer blew and an entire building lost power! With my being a property manager, it is important that my vendors are knowledgeable, responsive and fair! Scott is all of that! I have and will continue to work with Finlayson Electric on multiple projects as he is my go to electrician! . Lia TaniguchiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johnni installed an EV charger for me. It was tricky because he had to add it to a jam-packed breaker box, run a line all the way to the other side of the house, and deal with the fact that I had ordered the wrong item. He was patient, knowledgeable, creative about problem-solving, did high-quality work, and was consistently pleasant to deal with even though the job took a couple of unexpected turns. He also ended up taking care of a few other electrical jobs for me while he was there. Brian coordinated the whole thing, was incredibly communicative and responsive, and was on top of everything. Would 100% recommend them and will definitely use them in the future for any electrical work I need! Makenzie O’LearyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Finlayson Inc to install a massive ceiling fan in a cupola with very high ceilings. The owner, Scott showed up when he said he would, did a great job, and made quick work of the install. I’m extremely satisfied with the way the it came out. He was punctual, professional, and very reasonably priced. While he was there, he inspected my breaker panel and made recommendations on a future panel upgrade, which I will be sure to hire Scott for my future electrician needs, and highly recommend him to anyone needing residential electrical work.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 26 reviews
