When do I need a commercial electrician?

A commercial electrician, like any electrician, has expertise in working on electrical systems but they specialize in working on properties used for commerce or commercial projects. They focus on installing, repairing, and servicing electrical systems in commercial spaces because they have specific requirements and require specific training.
If you own or manage a commercial property, you’ll need a commercial electrician to handle all the electrical issues on the premises because the infrastructure here is a little more complicated than at your home. We primarily focus on residential and commercial properties in the Gold Coast and NSW areas and the distinction between the two is important to know, so that you know who to call. So if you need a commercial electrician on the Gold Coast, give us a call.

What can a commercial electrician do?

Electricians must be trained in different ways to handle residential vs commercial because they’re used for different purposes. Commercial properties are places of work and that means they’ll need an increased amount of electricity supply, compared to your average household electrical needs in the Gold Coast, to keep all the appliances and electronic equipment functioning at high capacity for full days. Commercial electricians usually work on the following types of properties:

  • Offices
  • Hotels and Hospitality
  • Retail stores
  • Shopping Centres
  • Education and Schools
  • Warehouses
  • Gyms and other public amenity premises

In summary, commercial electricians are the best service providers to give your company or business support in looking after the electrical work and making sure it always works properly. They’re also the best type of electrician to trust if you need to design and install brand new electrical systems for when you’re moving into a newly built, empty office space. Commercial electricians are also dealing and are hyper-aware of working with properties where there cannot be disruption to productivity. Therefore, they’re going to engage with you quite closely to adapt their services to your commercial interests. They do projects that rely on planning that’s customer-facing, maybe more than the other electrician types. So, if you’re property is used by employees every day or deals with customers on the premises, this is when you should employ a commercial-minded electrician.
You’ll need a commercial electrician when you have any kind of electrical fault on your commercial property, but you’ll also need them in a range of other situations.

  • When you want to install or maintain heating and cooling systems
  • When you need to install security systems
  • When you need a professional to inspect and ensure that your place of business is following local and national guidelines for wiring and electrical systems

How much does an electrician cost?

If you need a domestic electrician on the Gold Coast to fix up a few things in your house, the first question that’ll come to your mind is how much does an electrician cost. Professional electricians across Australia, like those known for good quality service at Powertrip Electrical (your favourite Gold Coast Experts), work in direct contact with electricity which is a very dangerous and complex beast. We’re given years of detailed training to protect ourselves while we do electric work on your property and even then, we can make mistakes that are potentially harmful to our health. That’s why it’s best to leave electric work to the experts and that comes at a price. We’ll always advise against electricians that are offering you prices that seem too good to be true. You can also avoid shady servicemen if you know how to choose the best electrician. Give us a call and we can discuss solutions and payment that is affordable for you. 

How much does an electrician cost?

SERVICESAVERAGE COST *
Typical electrical repair cost $130 – $240 
Typical electrical installation cost $160- $300
Typical electrical replacement cost $170 – $310
Typical fault-finding cost$120 – $210

These prices and rates for a certified electrician and can change based on the city you’re in. They’re different for a number of other reasons but the main factors deciding how much you’ll pay for services depends on the type, size and required materials an electrician will use on the job. This is what you can expect to pay for local electrician services in your area. 

Your best bet, in our opinion, is to find a few electricians in your area that are offering the service you need. Shortlist those offering you an obligation and cost-free quote and then use those to find out which service provider can give you the best deal for the best service. Some electrical jobs might appear simple at first, like installing a switch, but they can actually be more difficult than what meets the eye. It’s these jobs in particular, that seem two-dimensional initially, that could cost you more than you anticipated. While you’re trying to guess how ‘big’ or ‘small’ the electrical work will be, make those calls and the more details you provide, the more accurate the estimated quote will be.
