Commercial Electrician FAQs

What is the difference between a Commercial Electrician and a Domestic Electrician?

While domestic electricians work on structures like residences, e.g., homes, commercial electricians can do those jobs and much more. They regularly take on larger projects on big construction sites such as massive estates and business buildings. These projects are more complex and require a better technical skill set, extra personnel, and a longer time to finish. Contact us to find out more.

What should you look for in a Commercial Electrician?

When you are looking for a commercial electrician, we recommend opting for a Master Electricians Quality Assured member, such as our staff at French Electrical. This means the quality of our work is safeguarded with a $20,000 workmanship guarantee. Furthermore, look for a company who is trusted and has a history of reliability.

How often should you have your Commercial Electrical installation inspected and tested?

Ideally, getting your commercial property serviced and inspected annually is good practice. This should provide you with peace of mind as well as prevent future issues and expensive repairs.

Do you offer emergency commercial electrician callouts in Auckland?

Yes — electrical faults don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. French Electrical provides 24/7 emergency callout support for commercial and industrial clients across Auckland, so a switchboard fault, power outage or safety issue gets a fast, qualified response any time, day or night.

How much does a commercial electrician in Auckland cost?

Costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of the job, from a single switchboard upgrade to a full factory fitout. As a guide, our commercial and industrial pricing page outlines typical rates for common jobs, and we’re happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote for larger commercial electrician projects.
