Emergency electrical repairs
Industrial workshops and infrastructure require a constant supply of electricity – most factories and manufacturing plants must have their machines in working order for employees to complete their jobs.
This means in the event of an outage, you need a rapid solution that quickly gives you peace of mind and ensures that everything will be back on as soon as possible.

Large-scale installations and upgrades
We offer installations and upgrades for large-scale buildings and operations, giving you the robust power that you require to handle any industrial project.
It’s important you understand how much electricity you will need to keep everything running consistently, and we can help you ascertain if an upgrade to your system will be necessary for consistent supply.
As we rely on more technology, more power and infrastructure is necessary for companies to sustain it, and it might have been years since your building’s electrics were last upgraded.
Old wiring and systems may struggle to work alongside newer technology; we can add to your building’s electrical architecture to ensure it stays running consistently for years to come.
Energy audits
We can provide energy audits to industrial clients – too few companies decide to do this and miss plenty of opportunities to make their electricity use more efficient- and therefore lose money over time.
Energy audits showcase where the building or business might be wasting energy, letting you pinpoint where and how to reduce this. This, in turn, reduces your bills, letting you efficiently run your company for the best return.
The information you get from an audit also comes with a number of recommendations to improve efficiency – implementing these recommendations will help you save electricity and money.
Knowing the ins and outs of how you use energy can go a long way towards building an understanding of how the business works with energy and how you can make the most of your usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a commercial and industrial electrician?
Commercial electricians focus on commercial buildings, such as offices, restaurants, or hotels, and industrial electricians work mainly in factories and industrial plants.
Different settings have different electrical needs and even wholly separate infrastructure, meaning this distinction is important when choosing an electrician to work on your premises.
Industrial electricians also have a thorough knowledge of industrial sites and machinery work.
How often should I upgrade my electrical system?
You should conduct annual maintenance of your electrical system and wiring – especially in a commercial setting.
If an upgrade is necessary your electrician will inform you; there are also plenty of signs to look out for.
If you have power outages, faulty outlets, flickering lights, or the switchboard trips regularly, you may have to invest in an electrical upgrade.
This can only ever be for your benefit and can give you the ability to expand your operation and install additional equipment without fear of a failing power supply .
How do you prepare for an energy audit?
So long as the electrician has access to all of the building’s areas and its electrical systems, they should be able to complete a comprehensive energy audit.
Smaller properties can have a full audit in about 30 minutes, but industrial buildings such as factories can take up to an hour or two.
If you are aware of any issues facing the property, it is best to be upfront as this may assist the audit.
