What Do Commercial Electricians Do?

Commercial electricians provide a multitude of electrical services to commercial businesses and govt, including retail, warehouses, factories (like poultry) and industrial units to provide electrical installations, safety checks and compliances and types of electrical services that have differing standards and techniques compared to regular residential or domestic uses.

Safety standards are nearly always different as are regulations and indeed some of the actual types of work. It’s very important to have a commercial electrician that has experience in these matters where costs and implications are often far higher than regular domestic work.

Safety inspections often require compliance and testing plus certifications for business licensing from a verified and licensed electrical contractor like Horsell Electrical.

Here is a list of our most common commercial electrical services:

Surge Protection
3-Phase Installation
Meter installs

Commercial Power Requirements

The actual electrical supply to larger commercial businesses is often different as warehouses and factories will usually require a 3-Phase supply. New constructions can often require new supply lines dug underground as well as providing meters and switchboard upgrades and installations, surge protection and standby generators.

Commercial Electrical FAQs

What is the difference between a domestic and a commercial electrician?

Commercial electricians work in factories, industrial units, warehouses, shops and commercial buildings. Electrical standards and practices can be different to the home with higher power requirements being one. Safety and other protocols are also different. Some electrical contractors like Horsell have experience specialising in both areas.

What skills should commercial or industrial electricians have?

As well as their qualifications and experience there are some other useful skills when carrying out commercial electrical work:

· Full public liability insurance ($20 Million)
· Ability to understand electrical plans, blueprints and designs
· Ability to conduct visual inspections and estimate job size and requirements
· Attention to detail
· Good communication skills (often working with site managers)
· Problem-solving skills
· Ability to work as part of a team, working on large scale projects with changing criteria
· Able to work under pressure in demanding site conditions

Are there any legal requirements for my electrical safety?

Yes. Business owners and their directors are responsible for the safety of their workers and anyone o the property. Electrical safety is a big responsibility and requirement, more info can be found out here. There are also some minor differences between territories but NSW is fairly standard and can be seen here. If you have any queries then please give us a call.

How often should I have my electrical systems checked?

In NSW it is law to have your electrical items (including RCD’s/Safety Switches) by a qualified electrician every 12 months. Avoidance can result in heavy fines. Unsafe electrical items can cause death so it is very important to have testing and tagging done once a year.

How do I choose a commercial electrician?

· Commercial work can be deemed more important than domestic, but in reality, all the same rules apply when choosing. Ask some of these simple questions to your local commercial electrician:
· What qualifications and how many years of experience do they have?
· Are they specifically experienced in my industry for the type of work I require?
· what will be done by fully qualified electricians compared to supervised trainees?
· Can they give examples of their work and provide references or reviews?
· How professional do they seem and how do they present themselves?
· Can they work with other contractors or site managers?
