Our Core Electrical Services

Commercial and Industrial Work

We work for industrial and commercial clients, including:

  • Commercial and industrial sites
  • Scheduled maintenance programs
  • Subcontract work for other contractors
  • Remote sites up to 500km from Alice Springs

Maintenance can run quarterly, bi-annual or annual. A thermal check comes with a photo report and recommendations.

Electrical Problem? We'll Find It and Fix It Properly

Electrical faults cause lost productivity and serious safety risks. Our team uses Level 1 Thermographic Inspections and predictive maintenance sensors to detect problems before they lead to failures.

What the thermal check looks for:

  • Overheating connections in switchboards, found before they fail
  • Heat issues in industrial equipment, found by thermal imaging
  • A photo report with recommendations to support compliance

Signature service

The Thermal Safety Check

Accredited in thermal imaging. It is a specialist capability not every Alice Springs electrician offers. Our Thermal Safety Check inspects your switchboard and wiring with a thermal camera and includes a photo report. See what the check covers, or call to book yours.

A note on quotes: any price discussed by phone, quoted on-site, or given as a rough figure is an estimate based on what we can see and what you've told us. It becomes a firm quote once we've confirmed the full scope of work, and if anything changes once we start (an unforeseen fault, extra materials, access issues), we'll explain it and agree the change with you before continuing.
