Commercial electrical maintenance: frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before choosing our electrical installation and maintenance service for your retail estate.
Any other questions?
Our experts will get back to you within 24 hours.
What kind of electrical installation does a retail unit need?
It depends on the activity, floor area and electrical load of the business. A fashion store does not have the same needs as a supermarket or an electronics store. We analyse lighting, HVAC, equipment and opening hours to design the most efficient installation. In the UK, commercial installations should also have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), typically renewed every five years.
Do you provide maintenance for chains and franchises?
Yes. We manage electrical maintenance for retailers with multiple sites, centralising fault reporting, inspections and operational coordination through a single team.
Do you also carry out reactive electrical maintenance?
Yes. Our team responds to electrical faults, power outages, lighting problems and technical failures in retail stores to get you trading again as quickly as possible.
What electrical capacity does a large retail unit need?
Premises such as supermarkets, DIY stores or car showrooms need specific electrical load studies. We calculate the capacity required based on HVAC, lighting, equipment and simultaneous demand.
Do you offer an emergency service during sales or peak trading periods?
Yes. We offer a 24-hour electrician service for urgent call-outs during the sales, the Christmas trading period, product launches or any period of high footfall.
Do you work on electrical installations in shopping centres?
Yes. We manage electrical installations and technical maintenance for stores in shopping centres across Spain and on international projects. We work within the technical and operational rules of each centre, adapting working hours, access and procedures so trading is not affected.
