While the two terms are often used interchangeably, there are some important differences between a commercial and an industrial electrician in Plymouth.

A commercial electrician installs, maintains and repairs electrical systems in commercial buildings such as offices, shops, schools, hospitals and hotels, ensuring they are safe, reliable and compliant with regulations.

In contrast, an industrial electrician specialises in factories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, where they work with high-voltage systems, heavy machinery, automation equipment and complex production processes. At JAH, we are qualified to do both.

JAH Electrical provides a complete range of commercial and industrial electrical services for businesses in Plymouth. These include commercial lighting, emergency lighting, electrical fit-outs, three-phase power installations, PAT testing, EICRs, electrical inspections and ongoing maintenance contracts.

Our commercial electricians can assist with everything from replacing individual light fittings and resolving electrical faults to designing and managing complete electrical installations for new or refurbished premises.

Many commercial properties are advised to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report completed at least every five years. However, the correct inspection interval depends on the type of property, how the electrical installation is used, its condition and the findings of the previous inspection. JAH Electrical can assess your installation and advise when further testing is due.

While UK law requires businesses to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition, it does not specifically say that every appliance must receive a PAT test each year.

The appropriate inspection and testing schedule should be based on risk. Some factors you should consider are the type of equipment, how frequently it is used, whether it is regularly moved and the environment in which it operates.

PAT testing can form an important part of an effective electrical maintenance programme. It also provides a clear record that equipment has been inspected and tested.

Where possible, we can arrange commercial electrical work at a time that reduces disruption to your staff, customers and normal business operations.

The most suitable schedule will depend on the type of work, access to the premises and the availability of our electricians. We will discuss these requirements with you before the project begins and plan the work around your business wherever reasonably possible.
