Common Questions

Commercial Electrical Services — FAQs

What Commercial Electrical Work Do You Do?

We handle commercial fitouts, lighting and power distribution, switchboard installations, data cabling preparation, LED conversions, EV charging, and ongoing maintenance. Our work across Otago spans retail, hospitality, medical centres, schools, offices and industrial sites. Whether it is a full new fitout or routine maintenance, we deliver it to AS/NZS 3000 and WorkSafe NZ standards.

Can You Work After Hours to Avoid Disrupting My Business?

Yes. We schedule work around your operating hours where needed, including evenings and weekends, so trading and staff are not disrupted. For retail, hospitality and offices in Dunedin this often means doing the noisy or power-off work outside business hours. We plan the timing with you up front and keep emergency support available for contract clients.

Do You Handle Compliance, Test and Tag, and Certification?

Yes. Commercial work comes with a Certificate of Compliance and meets WorkSafe NZ requirements. We carry out RCD testing, electrical safety inspections and ongoing compliance checks, and can set up scheduled testing as part of a maintenance contract so your premises stay compliant and your records stay current.

Do You Take on Both Small and Large Commercial Jobs?

Both. We do everything from a single faulty circuit or a few extra power points through to complete fitouts for new commercial buildings. Past work includes medical centres, schools, sports facilities and hospitality sites around Dunedin and Mosgiel. No job is too small for a callout, and we are set up for larger projects too.

Do You Offer Maintenance Contracts?

Yes. Preventive maintenance contracts cover scheduled inspections and testing, fixed-cost budgeting, warranty coverage and priority emergency service for contract clients. They suit property managers and businesses that want issues caught early rather than dealing with unplanned downtime. We tailor the schedule to your site and operations.
