Questions Alice Springs customers ask
Do you provide emergency electrical services in Alice Springs?
Yes. Sawtell Contracting NT takes emergency electrical calls day and night across Alice Springs and remote NT. Faults, outages and urgent breakdowns. If we're out of mobile range on a remote job, send a text and we'll ring straight back the moment we're in range. Our licensed team responds quickly to restore power safely. At home or at work.
What electrical services do you offer?
A complete range of commercial and industrial electrical services, including fault finding and power restoration, switchboard upgrades and safety switch testing, electrical maintenance, CCTV, lighting, and solar installations, and energy-efficient upgrades. All work is completed by fully licensed electricians who meet NT compliance standards.
What do safety switches and switchboards do?
Safety switches detect current leaks and instantly shut off power to prevent electric shock or fires. They're installed within your main switchboard, which distributes power across your site. Regular testing keeps your systems compliant and safe. Particularly in industrial and commercial facilities that operate continuously. If yours keeps tripping, see our guide on what to do when a safety switch trips.
Do you install security cameras?
Yes. We design and install CCTV using Hanwha camera systems, with options for remote monitoring, motion detection, and integrated alarms, and, as a Gallagher SMB Solution Partner, access control, intrusion detection and perimeter security across Alice Springs and surrounding regions.
