High-quality installations have a myriad of benefits. They will reduce the risk of fire and electrocution and will reduce the risk of getting fined for non-compliance. They can also save you money on every single electricity bill due to the enhanced levels of efficiency.

Moreover, you won’t have to replace your electrics for a longer time period. Superior installations are a necessity that you can’t do without. If you try to sell the business without passing the inspection or while needing a rewire, it’s going to cost you a lot of money to fix it.

The following are some of the tell-tale signs that you will need an installation:

• Fuses blow when you use too many appliances.
• Lights flicker for no apparent reason.
• Circuit breakers tripping regularly.
• Cabling in the switchboard can overheat because it is overloaded.
• Appliances begin to short circuit.
• You may have an outdated fuse box with ceramic fuses.

All of the above point to having faulty electrics, most probably linked to an outdated switchboard that needs to be replaced or repaired. Failing this, you might be in need of a full or partial rewire.

A reliable commercial electrician should be able to offer you a variety of services as well as assurances:

• At least five years of professional experience
• Five-year installation warranty
• Certificate of compliance for work done
• Licensing and insurance for the specific project
• Free quotes and a transparent pricing system
• An excellent customer service team
• Interest-free financing
• Experience in your local area

What kind of switchboard installation do I need for my business?

The only way to find this out is to contact an electrician and discuss your energy requirements. It will likely have to be a three-phase switchboard to handle the enhanced load. If it is insufficient, you will find that the power frequently trips, not something that you want to happen in a business environment.

The switchboard is essentially the control panel or brain of your entire electrical system. It ensures that the electricity is distributed in the right places and also comes with a safety switch accurate to 0.3 seconds. It detects electrical surges and trips off if this happens. The switchboard is sometimes referred to as the fuse board, and it contains the main switch as well as circuit breakers.

What’s the difference between three-phase and single-phase power?

Single-phase power runs at 240V. This is most often seen in residential settings. Three-phase power runs at 400V or 415V and is often seen in large commercial settings. However, if you run a small business or have an energy intensive home, then you’ll need three phase power.

For example, if your business or home has a large ducted AC system, you’re going to need three-phase power to cope with it. Large workshop equipment will also need three-phase power for homeowners who work with power tools and on private projects.

Only get three-phase power if you need it. There will be increased connection fees and fixed annual charges. A lot of commercial business owners will need it, but it’s rarely justified for homeowners.

Some high-powered ovens and grilles will require three-phase power (400V). This might mandate a hardwired connection, coming without a lead or wire. When purchasing appliances or tools, always check whether single-phase or three-phase power is required.

Why does the power keep tripping on my property?

The most common reason is that you are using a new kind of powerful appliance and your circuits are not able to handle it. In this instance, the safety switch does what it was designed to do: it shuts off the power supply to prevent any danger. It could also be a case of too many appliances in use at the same time.

This includes microwaves, dishwashers, lighting systems, ovens, air conditioning units, chargers, and laptops: the list goes on. All of them require electricity to operate. The remedy is to either upgrade your overall electrical system or to reduce energy consumption. In today’s power hungry world, an upgrade is more commonly selected.

We recommend that all business owners install surge protection to prevent harm to equipment that could result in the loss of vital data. It will also serve to increase the lifespan of your equipment.

What kind of AC units should I install in my commercial premises?

There are three primary kinds of air conditioning systems: ducted, split system, and multi split system. For the majority of commercial establishments, multi split systems are the way to go. They look great, are energy efficient, and come with excellent warranties. Ducted AC units are very expensive but can be suitable for large office blocks or commercial establishments. They are the most efficient and convenient but are hard to install and costly.

In terms of the exact model, you’ll need to contact a specialist. This is because a certain amount of power is recommended depending on the size of the room you are trying to heat or cool. In Sydney, this is typically around 0.15 kW per square metre. For example, If you had a room that was 20 square metres, you would need an AC system size of around 3.0 kW.

How can I gauge the energy efficiency of electrical appliances?

If you’re looking to install electrical systems and appliances, then it definitely helps to understand how the electrical ecosystem works and what the ratings systems actually are. The energy rating label will help you to determine what appliances to buy. By law, these products have to display their levels of efficiency. The ratings are from 0 – 10. Anything above 6 stars is extremely efficient and quite rare.

The energy consumption will also be displayed. If the energy consumption is 400 kWh, it will cost about $100 per year to run. There is obviously going to be some variance here, but by dividing the total energy consumption by 4, you can arrive at a rough annual cost. The more energy it consumes, the more it will cost you to run on an annual basis.
