Installation Services

Qualified and accredited, these professional electricians have ideally spent considerable time providing large-scale installations for commercial properties. They are skilled enough to provide an entirely new installation of the whole electrical network and connect it to the central power supply.
Installing an entirely new electrical network
In coordination with electrical contractors, civil engineers will always make sure to make all provisions necessary during the construction phase, which might be required for electrical installations. However, before this phase, commercial electrical contractors will sit down together and prepare a formal plan, including technical drawings that specify the layout and all the electrical components. Commercial electricians will start the installation process once the planning part is complete and the necessary approvals have been received. From installing the wiring to connecting with the main power supply, from installing distribution boards to the required circuits, electricians will carry out all the necessary jobs themselves. Once the installation is complete, a test run will be carried out to ensure the safe operation of the electrical network.
General maintenance and inspections
Commercial properties require regular maintenance of their electrical networks. These properties cannot afford system failures, especially during working hours. Unpleasant surprises such as a power break in a restaurant during peak hours are a great loss. In order to avoid these surprises, businesses often hire commercial electricians on a permanent or contractual basis, depending on business activity. These electricians inspect the electrical network periodically for issues to provide timely repairs or replacements. They are also available for any emergency electrical issue the business might face. Electrician installing electric cable wires of fuse switch box. Multimeter in hands of electricians detail.

Emergency Services
Commercial electricians Con-Fused also provide emergency services to commercial properties such as restaurants, hotels, offices, apartment buildings, hospitals, retail stores, shopping malls, etc. There is considerable emphasis on the electrical safety of these properties, as electrical networks inherently can be dangerous, and hazards can result in shocks, system failures, and fire.
