Frequently asked questions

How often should commercial electrical systems be inspected?

Commercial electrical systems should be inspected at least annually, though more frequent inspections may be necessary depending on your industry, equipment usage, and compliance requirements. High-use facilities such as restaurants, manufacturing plants, or healthcare facilities benefit from quarterly inspections. Our team will develop a customised maintenance schedule based on your specific business needs and regulatory requirements.

What are the signs that our commercial property needs electrical maintenance?

Warning signs include flickering lights, circuit breakers that frequently trip, unusual buzzing sounds from outlets or panels, warm or discoloured wall plates, burning odors, and unexplained increases in energy bills. If your staff notices any of these issues, it's important to schedule an inspection promptly as they could indicate potential safety hazards that require immediate attention.

Do you provide emergency electrical services for businesses?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency electrical services for commercial clients throughout the Northern Beaches. Our rapid response team can quickly address power outages, electrical failures, and safety hazards to minimise disruption to your business operations. We maintain fully-stocked service vehicles and prioritise commercial emergency calls to ensure your business gets back up and running as quickly as possible.

How does electrical maintenance affect my business insurance?

Regular electrical maintenance is often required by commercial insurance policies. Maintaining documented proof of professional electrical inspections and maintenance can help ensure your insurance coverage remains valid and may even reduce your premiums. Additionally, in the event of an electrical incident, having records of proper maintenance can protect your business from liability issues.

Can you work around our business hours to minimise disruption?

Absolutely. We understand that downtime means lost revenue for your business. Our team can schedule maintenance during off-hours, weekends, or slower operational periods to minimise disruption to your business activities. For retail, hospitality, and other customer-facing businesses, we take special care to work discreetly and efficiently while maintaining a professional presence.
