Frequently asked questions about commercial electrical installers
A commercial electrical installer designs, installs, upgrades and maintains electrical systems within business premises such as offices, warehouses, retail stores, hospitality venues and industrial facilities.
Depending on the premises, a commercial electrical installation can include power distribution, electrical circuits, sockets, lighting, three-phase supplies, electrical equipment, containment and supporting infrastructure for IT and other technology.
Look for relevant commercial experience, appropriate qualifications and accreditations, evidence of previous projects, geographical coverage, testing and certification capabilities and experience working within your particular type of premises.
For larger projects, you should also consider the contractor's ability to manage the project and coordinate electrical work with other infrastructure.
Some commercial electrical contractors also provide structured data cabling. Choosing a contractor that can coordinate electrical and network cabling can be particularly useful when fitting out offices, warehouses and other technology-heavy environments.
DTE provides both commercial electrical installation and structured data cabling.
Yes. Specialist commercial electrical installers can design and install warehouse power distribution, lighting, sockets, data cabling and infrastructure supporting machinery, networking, CCTV and automation.
