Commercial electrical services are for non-residential environments, such as businesses and office spaces, commercial and industrial sites, hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, pubs), and other public buildings such as schools and hospitals. Commercial elecrical services are specifically designed to support the power, safety, lighting, control and energy needs of businesses and public facilities. These works are all professionally overseen by qualified and registered electricians and electrical contractors/engineers to demonstrate compliance with current electrical, in addition to health and safety standards for insurance and inspection purposes.
Electrical Repair Services
Repair services can address a broad spectrum of issues within electrical systems, such as faulty or overloaded circuitry and cabling, earthing/bonding, emergency lighting and fire safety systems, damaged sockets and electrical panels, surge protection and backup power systems, in addition to data and network cabling. Likewise, upgrade services are essential for replacing outdated equipment with new energy-efficient or renewable energy units and fittings, lighting upgrades to LED which reduces energy costs and improves energy efficiency long-term, power capacity upgrades for new systems/devices or infrastructure, and updates to emergency lighting and fire systems.
Recurring Electrical Services
Many of the above listed commercial services are covered through recommended service intervals required for periodic inspection reports (PIR) and testing, portable appliance testing (PAT) and emergency lighting and fire systems testing. Depending on the size and function of the site/business and the complexity of its systems, intervals for PAT, PIR and fire/emergency lighting testing will vary. However, on average, PAT testing and emergency lighting should be carried out by businesses annually (with industrial or construction sites possibly requiring more frequent intervals for PAT), PIR testing every 3 years for industrial facilities and 5 years for commercial buildings/offices, hotels and rented properties, schools and retail spaces.
Meet Electrical and Safety Requirements
By maintaining regular service intervals for all commercial testing services, businesses and clients can ensure that all systems meet current electrical and safety requirements as required by law for compliance for insurance and inspection purposes, upgrade/repair/replace faulty or non-energy efficient systems or devices, and inform future decisions for works and electrical planning by referencing detailed reports provided following each testing service.
