Commercial Electrician
Commercial Electrician Melbourne — Licensed Electrical Services for Business
Commercial Electrical Services We Provide
We handle the full scope of commercial electrical work — from initial fit-outs through to ongoing maintenance and compliance testing.
Office and retail fit-outs. Power, data, and lighting for new tenancies or fitout refurbishments. We work directly with builders and project managers to deliver complete electrical installations on time.
Electrical maintenance and repairs. Fault diagnosis, circuit repairs, power point and lighting repairs, and general maintenance for commercial premises. Scheduled or on-call as required.
Compliance testing and tagging. Test and tag to AS/NZS 3760, RCD testing, and thermal imaging inspections. Full documentation provided for your compliance records.
Switchboard upgrades for commercial buildings. Three-phase switchboard upgrades, additional circuit capacity, and RCD protection for commercial premises. All work coordinated with the required Energy Safe Victoria inspection.
Lighting upgrades. LED retrofits, emergency and exit lighting installation and compliance testing (AS 2293), and feature lighting for retail and hospitality environments.
Data cabling and network infrastructure. Structured cabling, patch panels, server room fit-outs, and network point installation for offices and commercial spaces.
Air conditioning installation. Supply and install of split systems and ducted air conditioning for commercial spaces, including dedicated circuit installation.
EV charger installation. Commercial EV charging infrastructure for offices, car parks, and retail premises. We're CEC accredited and handle all permitting and grid connection requirements.
Industries and Property Types
We work across a range of commercial property types in Melbourne's western and inner-western suburbs. Offices and co-working spaces — from small professional suites to multi-tenancy buildings. Retail shops and shopping centres, including fit-outs for new tenancies and refurbishments of existing spaces.
Warehouses and industrial units, where we handle high-load three-phase work, machine connections, and compliance testing. Restaurants, cafes, and hospitality venues with specific requirements around commercial kitchen equipment, lighting, and extraction.
Strata and body corporate common areas — car parks, lifts, common lighting, and shared electrical infrastructure. Healthcare and aged care facilities, where compliance documentation and safety standards are especially important.
Compliance and Safety
Commercial property owners and operators have specific electrical compliance obligations that residential property owners don't. Understanding them is part of running a compliant business.
Test and tag under AS/NZS 3760 is required for all portable electrical equipment used in the workplace. Testing frequency depends on the environment — construction sites require quarterly testing; offices typically require annual or two-yearly testing. We carry out test and tag and provide full documentation for your records.
RCD testing is required for all safety switches installed in commercial premises. Under AS/NZS 3000 (the Australian Wiring Rules), RCDs protecting final subcircuits in commercial buildings must be periodically tested to ensure they operate within required trip times. We test and document all RCDs as part of a commercial compliance inspection.
Emergency and exit lighting compliance under AS 2293 requires routine testing every six months, with a full annual test of battery backup duration. We carry out these tests and supply the required compliance certification.
For all compliance work, we provide documentation and certificates you can retain for your records and provide to your insurer or body corporate as required.
