Ambient Electrical has a 24/7 emergency service, and response is often within the hour. With a fully stocked vehicle we can usually get your business running again on the first visit.

Repairs for shops, cafes and offices

A retail outlet, restaurant, cafe, shop or office works when its lighting, power, data and communications layout suits how the space is used. When something fails, a fully stocked van means most faults and repairs are fixed on the first visit, so the business can keep trading.

Ambient Electrical have built a reputation based on delivering jobs on time and within budget and to complete client satisfaction. We take the time to discuss and identify your unique Fit-Out requirements; making sure we have established clear lines of communication. We understand that changes are inevitable and we do what we can to accommodate you in this process.

With a growing emphasis on global warming many businesses want to reduce their Green House Gas emissions. With various financial incentives, businesses are choosing to reduce their carbon foot print by replacing Fluorescent lights with LED’s, and using control gear such as C-BUS and Motion Sensors to significantly reduce power consumption.

We acknowledge the fact that alterations to working space can be disruptive. Therefore, Ambient Electrical remain flexible in working with our clients after-hours to get the task done. Call Ambient Electrical for a Consultation on 0415 684 120

Always available on short notice and gets the job done.

Tolly Ozbey, Google review, Oct 2026

Peter completed a major lighting upgrade in the sports facility that I manage. Peter's attention to detail, knowledge and dedication to the job was second to none.
I could not recommend Peter's services more highly. A must have contractor for your next electrical project.

Commercial: common questions

What is the difference between a commercial and a residential electrician?

In NSW the same electrician's licence covers homes and businesses; the difference is the work. Commercial work often involves three-phase supply, exit and emergency lighting, test and tag under workplace safety law, and working around trading hours, while residential work centres on homes, renovations and household circuits. Ambient Electrical does both.

Can commercial electrical work be done after hours?

Ambient works flexibly, including after hours, to keep disruption to your business to a minimum, and runs a 24/7 emergency service.

What commercial electrical work does Ambient do?

The commercial electrical work Ambient does covers office and shop fit-outs and refurbishments, signage lighting, fault finding and repairs, commercial switchboard upgrades, testing and tagging, lighting design, C-Bus automation, emergency and exit lighting, smoke alarms, LED lighting, power, switches, fans and data cabling. High ceilings and atriums are covered too.

What affects the cost of commercial electrical work?

The cost of commercial electrical work depends on the size of the job, whether it has to be done after hours to avoid disrupting trade, access to ceilings and risers, and the compliance paperwork involved. Peter gives you a clear quote before any work starts.
