Expert electrical services for small businesses, retail units, and landlords. We provide safe, reliable 230V electrical solutions across Norfolk.
Not every business runs heavy industrial machinery. Most high street shops, small offices, and rental properties run on a standard Single Phase (230V) supply—the same as a typical home. At Yare Electrical, we treat these “Light Commercial” projects with the same level of professionalism and safety as our large industrial contracts.
Need a Socket Moving or a Fuse Board Changed?
What is Single Phase Power?
If your electricity meter has one main fuse and your equipment plugs into standard 3-pin sockets, you are likely on a Single Phase supply. This is the standard for:
- Retail Units: Powering tills, display lighting, and refrigerators.
- Small Offices: Running computers, printers, and kitchenettes.
- HMOs & Rentals: Landlords requiring safety certificates and maintenance.
Our Single Phase Services
We provide a comprehensive range of services for Norwich businesses that don’t need heavy industrial power:
1. Consumer Unit (Fuse Box) Upgrades
Modern safety standards apply to everyone. We replace outdated fuse boxes with modern, metal-clad Consumer Units featuring RCBO protection and Surge Protection Devices (SPD). This ensures your staff are protected from electric shock and your expensive computers are safe from power spikes. Learn more about our fuse board installations.
2. Additional Circuits & Sockets
Extension leads are a trip hazard and a fire risk. If your office is messy with trailing cables, we can install new Dado trunking (perimeter trunking) with integrated power and data sockets. This keeps your workspace tidy and compliant with Health & Safety regulations.
3. Shop Lighting
Good lighting sells products. We upgrade dull, yellow halogen lights to crisp, bright LED Track Lighting or recessed spots. This not only makes your merchandise look better but reduces your electricity bill significantly. Check our lighting upgrade options.
4. Landlord Services & EICRs
If you rent out commercial space or residential properties, you are legally required to have the electrics tested at least every 5 years (or at change of occupancy). We provide rigorous EICR testing to ensure you meet your legal obligations.
Why Use a Commercial Electrician for Smaller Jobs?
You might be tempted to call a domestic “handyman” for small shop works, but this is a risk. Commercial premises—even small ones—have different legal requirements regarding:
- Emergency Lighting: You must have compliant escape routes.
- Public Liability: Our insurance specifically covers working in public environments.
- Certification: We issue the correct commercial electrical certificates that your business insurance requires.
Local, Reliable, and Neat
We understand that in a small shop or office, appearance is everything. Our engineers take pride in neat containment, cleaning up after themselves, and working around your customers to cause minimum disruption.
