It is essential your workplace is a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment for your staff and your customers. Mister Sparky can help Christchurch businesses put the right electrical systems in place to keep you compliant and operating efficiently.
Our team provides electrical services to a wide variety of businesses across Canterbury. We understand the centre of operations is your livelihood, and it is important your workspace fulfils the requirements specific to your business.
What we provide
- Reliable electrical infrastructure
- High speed voice and data capabilities
- Cost effective, energy efficient lighting
- Preventative maintenance and safety testing
- Ongoing repairs and maintenance
We can help create a purpose built environment to accommodate your specific electrical needs and meet exact specifications. If you find your plans worked better in theory than in practice, we can make adjustments and changes to what is happening on site.
Having electrical work completed around your business can disrupt your workflow, staff and customers. You can trust our electricians to look and act professionally at all times, causing a minimal amount of disruption to your daily operation.
Whether your site is a multi-level high-rise or a single level unit, a warehouse, restaurant, office or shop front, contact us for all your commercial electrical needs in Christchurch.
Maintenance
If your business relies on machinery, you cannot afford breakages and down time. Regular electrical maintenance and fault finding can highlight minor issues before they become large costly repairs. We can service and maintain your commercial machinery to keep your business running smoothly.
We can arrange thermal imaging to check the health of your old switchboards. Hot spots can highlight bad connections, overloading, or failing fuses. Regular electrical maintenance reduces the risk of fires.
You can trust our registered electricians to be upfront, honest and keep you updated on the status of your repairs. For quick, hassle-free maintenance and repairs contact us.
Test and Tag
It is important for everyone's safety in the workplace that all tools and appliances are tested and tagged. Non-compliance can mean fines, and even jail time for employers and key staff if someone is injured.
Test and tag is mandatory for the construction industry and must be done every three months. If your tools are not tested and tagged and are found on site by a member of WorkSafe NZ, you can receive an instant fine.
Appliances in a warehouse or office need to be tagged every six months. Office computers only need tagging every five years because they are not moving around and are not in an abrasive environment. Laptops are considered mobile devices and need testing every year, even if they never leave the office.
It comes back to making sure the electrical equipment, tools and appliances you use are in good working order and safe for everyone. If you lend someone a tool that is damaged you are putting that person at risk and making yourself liable.
Energy efficient businesses
We understand the impact ongoing running and maintenance costs have on Christchurch businesses, and how energy efficient solutions reduce them.
We often install motion sensors in hallways, access ways or bathrooms. They turn on automatically when someone walks in and turn off again after a set period. We can also install daylight sensors on outdoor security lights so they only run when needed. Never having unnecessary lights left on can significantly reduce energy costs.
Standard commercial buildings often use fluorescent tube lighting across a whole floor. Fluoro tubes burn out after around 10,000 hours, and they typically do not all burn out at the same time. That leads to patchy or flickering lighting which annoys staff and customers alike. An LED equivalent uses half the power of a standard fluoro tube and lasts around five times as long. With lower ongoing energy costs and less maintenance needed, LED lighting is a cost effective option.
Outdoor carparks should be well lit for safety. As they are on all night, LED options can halve power consumption and last twice as long before they need changing.
If you want lower power bills, maintenance and running costs, contact us about energy efficient options for your business.
What our commercial clients say
I recently arrived at my business at 6.15am to find that I had next to no power. I called Marco from Mister Sparky and he answered straight away. He quickly determined after asking some pertinent questions that the issue was local and not a network issue. As I was on my way to a business meeting Marco arranged for one of his team to be onsite at 7.30am when the business opened. The issue was diagnosed quickly and efficiently and it was business as usual in no time.
