What does a commercial electrician do?
A commercial electrician installs, maintains, and repairs electrical systems in non-residential settings like shops, offices, schools, warehouses, and public buildings. Their work includes lighting, switchboards, data cabling, security systems, and energy efficiency upgrades. They also perform safety checks, testing, and compliance reporting to meet building codes and insurance standards. Commercial electricians often work with architects, builders, and project managers to coordinate fit-outs, upgrades, or repairs on both small and large-scale commercial properties.
How is commercial electrical work different from residential?
Commercial electrical work is generally more complex and high-capacity than residential. Commercial properties require larger switchboards, three-phase power, industrial-grade components, and specialised safety systems. Cabling often supports more users, machinery, or lighting systems, and installations must meet strict commercial codes. Unlike residential jobs, commercial work often involves coordination with multiple contractors, scheduling around business operations, and meeting strict compliance or industry-specific regulations.
Do commercial buildings need regular electrical inspections?
Yes, commercial buildings require regular inspections to ensure compliance, safety, and continued functionality. Many insurance providers and local regulations mandate annual or biannual electrical checks, especially for switchboards, emergency lighting, and safety switches. Routine inspections can catch faults early, reduce downtime, and ensure all systems meet current standards. They’re also essential for businesses in high-risk sectors such as hospitality, health, or manufacturing, where uninterrupted power and compliance are critical.
How can a business reduce electrical running costs?
Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting, using smart controls and ensuring systems are regularly maintained can lower running costs. We can assess your current setup and recommend improvements that save energy while still meeting operational needs.
What are common electrical problems in commercial buildings?
Some of the most common issues include overloaded circuits, outdated wiring, faulty lighting and damaged switchboards. Preventative maintenance helps identify these issues early, reducing the risk of power outages, fire hazards and equipment damage.
Why do circuit breakers keep tripping in my business?
Repeated trips usually point to an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, damaged wiring or moisture in equipment. Breakers can also trip when motors start under strain or when there is an earth leakage fault. Unplug recent additions, note what was running and have the circuit tested to find the cause.
What is RCD testing in a commercial building?
RCD testing checks that safety switches trip quickly enough to reduce electric shock risk. It includes a push-button check and an instrument test that measures trip time and trip current. If an RCD fails, it may not protect staff or customers. Testing frequency depends on the equipment and site risk.
When does a business need a switchboard upgrade?
A switchboard upgrade may be needed if there is no room for new circuits, protection is outdated or there are warning signs like heat marks, discolouration or a burning smell. Upgrades can add modern safety devices such as RCDs and surge protection and improve fault isolation across different areas.
Do you provide emergency electrical services for businesses?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency callouts for commercial clients. Electrical issues can cause major disruptions, so our team responds quickly to restore power, fix faults and keep your business operating with minimal downtime.
