Domestic vs Commercial Electrical Work — What Oxfordshire Property Owners Should Know
Electrical work in homes and businesses may seem similar, but domestic and commercial electrical systems have important differences. Understanding these can help Oxfordshire property owners choose the right electrician for the job.
Domestic Electrical Work
Domestic electrical work focuses on residential properties such as houses and flats. This typically includes:
- Consumer unit upgrades
- Rewiring
- Lighting installations
- Socket and switch replacements
- Fault finding and repairs
Domestic electricians must ensure systems are safe for everyday use and compliant with Part P building regulations.
Commercial Electrical Work
Commercial electrical work involves offices, shops, warehouses and other business premises. These systems are often larger and more complex, and may include:
- Three-phase power
- Emergency lighting
- Fire alarm systems
- Data cabling
- Ongoing maintenance contracts
Commercial electrical work must meet stricter regulations to ensure safety for staff, customers and the public.
Why Experience Matters
Not all electricians are equipped to handle both domestic and commercial projects. Choosing an electrician with experience in both ensures the work is completed safely, efficiently and in line with current regulations.
