Commercial Electrician in Lismore

Electrical Work for Lismore Shops, Offices and Workshops

A shop, office, clinic or workshop can’t trade without reliable power, and every fit-out or upgrade needs to be planned around that.

Electric East Electricians provides commercial electrical services across Lismore for business owners, property managers and shopfitters, covering fit-outs, three-phase power, lighting, switchboards and ongoing maintenance. As an Essential Energy accredited Level 2 ASP electrician, the team can also handle the metering and supply connections that new or expanded tenancies may require.

Commercial Electrical Services in Lismore

The scope of a commercial job comes down to three things: the tenancy, the equipment going into it and what the existing supply can carry. We check all three before we quote, so the price reflects the site you actually have.

Level 2 ASP Work for Commercial Connections

Some commercial projects reach a point where the work extends beyond the building’s standard electrical installation. A new tenancy may need its own supply, a workshop may require a three-phase upgrade, or an increased load may need network approval before it can be connected.

Electric East Electricians is accredited with Essential Energy for Level 2 ASP work, with accredited Level 2 ASP electricians on the team. This allows us to handle service mains, metering, private poles and pillars, and network applications alongside the electrical work inside the building.

We can also rectify Essential Energy defect notices on commercial sites and lodge the necessary paperwork with the network.

Flood-Affected Commercial Premises in Lismore

The 2022 flood affected shops, offices and workshops across Lismore CBD and South Lismore. Electrical installations affected by floodwater need to be inspected and tested before they are put back into service.

We inspect the switchboard, wiring and fixed equipment, record what we find, and quote any repairs or commercial rewiring required. Owners, tenants and insurers can then work from the same written scope.

Landlords and property managers can also book electrical safety inspections and RCD testing for occupied premises, with a written report provided for their records.

How We Handle Commercial Electrical Work

Most commercial work follows the same five steps, whether it’s a single new circuit or a full tenancy fit-out.

1. Site visit: We inspect the switchboard and existing supply, review the fit-out plan or equipment list, and check access to ceilings and risers.

2. Written quote: The scope, inclusions and any required network applications are confirmed before work is scheduled.

3. Shutdown planning: Any required power outages are agreed with you in advance to minimise disruption to stock, systems and staff.

4. Installation: The electrical work is completed to applicable requirements and coordinated with your builder or shopfitter.

5. Testing and handover: Circuits are tested and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is provided where required.

Commercial Electrical FAQs

Can you do the electrical work for a new shop or office fit-out?

Yes. Electric East Electricians handles rough-in, fit-off, lighting, data and switchboard work for commercial fit-outs and coordinates with your builder or shopfitter throughout the project. If the tenancy needs a new or larger supply, we can arrange the required Level 2 ASP work as part of the same project.

Do I need a Level 2 electrician for a commercial connection?

A Level 2 electrician is required for certain work involving service mains, metering, private poles or connections to the electricity network. Electric East Electricians is accredited with Essential Energy for Level 2 ASP work.

Will the business have to close while the electrical work is done?

Some electrical work requires the power to be switched off temporarily. We agree shutdown times with you before work starts and stage the job where possible to minimise disruption to the premises.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for commercial properties?

Yes. We carry out scheduled RCD testing, switchboard checks and repairs for commercial premises on a schedule agreed with the owner or property manager, helping identify potential faults before they disrupt operations.

Do you work on light industrial sites and workshops?

Yes. We install three-phase power, machine circuits, lighting and switchboards for workshops, sheds and light industrial premises across Lismore and surrounding areas.

How much does a commercial electrician cost in Lismore?

Pricing depends on the scope of work, so we generally inspect the site before providing a written quote rather than estimating the cost over the phone. Quotes are free and clearly set out the work, materials and any required network coordination before anything is booked.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. It's nice to have someone who turns up when they say they will and gets the job done properly. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable electrician, and I'll definitely be using him again in the future.
