Domestic vs Commercial
Electrics
Domestic and commercial electrical services differ significantly in scope, complexity, and regulatory requirements.
Domestic services typically involve installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical systems in residential properties, including wiring for lighting, outlets, and household appliances. The focus is on safety, energy efficiency, and compliance with residential electrical codes.
On the other hand, commercial electrics cater to businesses and extensive facilities, requiring more robust and complex systems. These services encompass high-voltage installations, three-phase power systems, and specialised wiring for industrial equipment. Our commercial electricians must adhere to stringent codes and standards, ensuring system reliability, scalability, and safety in a business environment.
Services for businesses in Dorchester include:
New Fuse Board Installations
Fuse board installations for commercial properties involve building robust electrical distribution panels capable of handling higher loads and complex wiring systems. These installations must comply with strict safety regulations, ensuring reliable power distribution, scalability for future expansion, and protection against electrical faults, which are essential for maintaining business operations and safety.
Electrical Testing Services
By testing electrical systems in your retail unit or industrial property, we can ensure their safety and efficiency. Our electricians inspect wiring, circuits, and equipment for compliance with the most up-to-date regulations whilst identifying potential hazards and verifying proper operation. Regular testing helps prevent electrical failures, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain a safe working environment.
Fire Alarm Installations
Our electrical contractors can help ensure occupant safety by setting up comprehensive detection and alert systems in commercial properties in Dorchester. These systems include smoke and heat detectors, alarm panels, and notification devices. Installation must comply with fire safety regulations, ensuring reliable early warning, facilitating prompt evacuation, and minimising property damage.
Emergency Lighting Installations
Usually installed simultaneously with our fire alarms and other security systems, these installations ensure visibility during power outages or emergencies. They include strategically placed lights and exit signs that automatically activate when power fails. Compliance with safety regulations is essential, as well as providing safe egress routes, aiding evacuations, and enhancing overall building safety and occupant protection.
Electric Vehicle Charging
The commercial electrics work completed by Andy Godfrey Electricians also involves setting up charging stations to support electric vehicles at retail outlets, office buildings, and warehouses. These systems cater to employees, customers, and fleet vehicles, promoting sustainability and convenience. Observance with electrical standards and integration of existing infrastructure is crucial, ensuring reliable, efficient, and safe charging capabilities.
