When you require an electrical job carrying out which is situated in a workplace such as a warehouse, office or any other business premises, you need to take care over what electrician you use to carry out the job.
Unlike households, which falls under building regulation Part P, there are no regulations in the commercial sector. To some extend you are left with nothing more than your own judgement when it comes to selecting a commercial electrician to carry out the electrical work.
What to look for
It is widely assumed that any electrician can carry out a commercial job as it is not much different than working in a home. This is a myth. Firstly check that the electrician is actually a commercial electrician in nottingham – many electricians only work in the domestic sector, and others work only in the commercial sector. Electricians who carry out work on commercial premises must have experience in the area.
Unfortunately many mistakes have been made by using the services of a domestic electrician in a commercial setting.
Check experience
Always satisfy yourself that you are confident that the commercial electrician you chose is capable of executing the job. The best way of doing this is to seek recommendations from other business owners who have had similar work carried out in the past. If others are happy to recommend the services of other electricians, then this gives you an added advantage.
Another recommended way of checking levels of experience is to ask to see a portfolio of work carried out in the past. Remember to check certificates showing the electricians qualifications to ensure they are actually qualified to carry out electrical work in the first place. Seeing an portfolio of work demonstrates the standard of the electricians work, however it is a good idea to see examples of work similar to what you are looking to have carried out.

Ask questions
Commercial electricians should be able to provide electrical solutions that save your company money, not simply fit what you suggest and leave the job. Here at Stator Electric Solutions, I am always looking out for ways to save clients money – not just on the job itself but the running costs of the installation, life expectancy and maintenance costs.
How will your commercial electrician save your business money? This is a reasonable question to ask commercial electricians who come to provide a quotation. One of the aims of having electrical work carried out is to save money.
What to never do
Never be tempted to just look through the phone book or random website to select someone out of desperation. Always have the name of a commercial electrician to hand who you can make contact with in the case of an electrical emergency.
