What's the difference between commercial and industrial electrical work?

Commercial work generally covers offices, retail and hospitality on single-phase or light three-phase supply. Industrial work involves heavier three-phase loads, dedicated machinery circuits and larger switchgear used in factories and workshops.

What documentation should a business receive after electrical work?

Every commercial job should be completed with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) and, where applicable, test-and-tag records and as-installed drawings. These are commonly required for insurers, strata and workplace safety audits.

Commercial Electrician in the Hills District

Office fit-outs, retail upgrades, industrial wiring and compliance work for businesses across the Hills District.

Electrical Support for Local Businesses

We provide commercial electrical services for Hills District businesses across offices, retail spaces, warehouses and light-industrial sites, covering tenancy fit-outs, lighting upgrades and three-phase power. We also support industrial premises with machinery wiring, three-phase distribution, dedicated circuits and switchgear upgrades, so factories, workshops and trade sites can work with one commercial electrician for planning, installation and ongoing maintenance. Where possible we plan around your trading hours to keep disruption to staff, customers and operations to a minimum.

For owner-occupiers running a business from home, our residential electrical work covers wiring, lighting and power points across the rest of the property. Larger commercial loads, new machinery or EV charging often call for a switchboard upgrade at the same time, so capacity and protection are sized correctly from day one.

Out-of-Hours Work

We schedule shutdowns and switchovers outside trading hours, keeping your business running and revenue protected.

Compliance & Test-and-Tag

Every commercial and industrial job we complete includes periodic testing, RCD verification and a certificate of compliance.

Single Contact, End-to-End

One electrician handles design, install, commissioning and ongoing maintenance, so you're not chasing multiple trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Most commercial cut-overs, lighting changeovers and switchboard work can be scheduled early morning, evening or weekend so a business can keep trading through the day.

Office fit-out electrical rough-in by a Hills District commercial electrician

Office Fit-Outs

We wire new office fit-outs from rough-in through to handover, covering workstation power, data cabling pathways, lighting layouts and dedicated circuits for printers, kitchenettes and server cupboards. Work is staged around the builder and other trades, and any live changeovers are scheduled outside trading hours. Every fit-out finishes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.

Shop Electrical

Retail tenancies need flexible power, bright product lighting and signage circuits that won't trip mid-trade. We wire counters, point-of-sale stations, refrigeration and display lighting, then label every circuit at the board so future tenants and trades can work safely. New leases often start with a make-good that we can quote alongside the fit-out.

Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance keeps faults small and predictable. We schedule regular site visits to check lighting, RCDs, exit signs and dedicated circuits, and we log what's been tested. Faults found between visits can usually be booked in around your trading hours, so day-to-day operations aren't interrupted while repairs happen.

Commercial LED lighting upgrade replacing ageing fluorescent fittings

LED Upgrades

Swapping ageing fluorescents and halogens for LEDs cuts running costs and reduces lamp changes. We measure existing layouts, recommend fittings that match the colour temperature and output you need, then dispose of old tubes responsibly. Sensor and zoned switching can be added so unused areas aren't lit when nobody's there.

Commercial emergency exit light and discharge testing

Emergency Lighting

Commercial premises need exit signs and emergency lights that work during a power outage. We install compliant fittings on every required path of travel, run the mandatory six-monthly discharge test and provide the log book records insurers and fire safety auditors expect. Failed batteries and fittings are replaced on the spot where possible.

Test and Tag

We test and tag portable appliances across offices, kitchens, workshops and event spaces, working to AS/NZS 3760 intervals. Each item is inspected, electrically tested and tagged with the result, and you receive a register listing every appliance, its location and the next due date. Failed items are flagged for repair or removal.

Commercial switchboard inspection and thermal check

Switchboard Maintenance

Commercial boards work hard, and loose terminations, ageing breakers and undersized RCDs are common findings. We inspect, thermal-check and retorque connections, then replace components that are at risk. Boards showing signs of overheating or limited capacity are often better paired with a full switchboard upgrade rather than another round of patches.
