Reliable scheduled electrical maintenance to keep your commercial property safe, compliant and operating without interruption.
Managing a commercial property comes with many responsibilities. Your electrical system should not be one of the things you have to worry about. Programmed electrical maintenance removes the uncertainty by scheduling regular inspections, testing and servicing at agreed intervals throughout the year.
When a planned electrical maintenance program is in place, small issues are found before they grow into expensive repairs or safety hazards. Your electrical assets stay in good condition, compliance obligations are met, and your team can focus on running the business.
Stuart Johnston Electrical is a local electrical maintenance contractor with over three decades of experience serving Wollongong and the Illawarra. We are fully licensed, fully insured and authorised by Endeavour Energy.
Programmed electrical maintenance is a structured approach to managing your electrical system. Rather than waiting for something to break, a programmed maintenance schedule keeps everything working at its best through regular checks, testing and servicing throughout the year.
Our electrical maintenance programs are tailored to the needs of your property. The scope of each visit, the frequency of inspections and the format of your service records are all agreed on before any work begins.
A typical electrical maintenance program covers:
Electrical faults do not always give warning before they cause damage. Overloaded circuits, deteriorating wiring, loose connections and worn safety switches can all go unnoticed until they create a real problem. That is why ongoing electrical maintenance services are so important for any commercial property.
Regular electrical system maintenance protects your business in several key ways.
Electrical faults are a leading cause of workplace injuries and building fires. Preventative electrical maintenance reduces this risk by identifying problems before they become dangerous.
Businesses have legal obligations around electrical safety. Electrical compliance maintenance keeps your property up to date and provides written records for audits, inspections or insurance purposes.
Preventive maintenance electrician visits cost far less than emergency callouts or major repairs after a failure. Small faults found during a routine visit are quick and affordable to fix.
An electrical failure at the wrong time can stop your operations completely. Scheduled electrical maintenance significantly reduces the chance of unexpected outages and keeps your business moving.
Regular electrical asset maintenance extends the working life of your equipment and infrastructure. This saves money over time and reduces the frequency of large capital replacements.
Stuart Johnston Electrical delivers a complete range of electrical maintenance services for commercial and industrial properties. Our programmed maintenance services are available for businesses of all sizes across Wollongong and the Illawarra.
Residual current devices are your first line of protection against electric shock. We test and maintain all safety switches in your facility to confirm they are operating within the correct parameters as required by Australian Standards. RCD testing and maintenance is a core part of any electrical safety maintenance program.
Emergency lighting must work when it is needed most. We carry out regular emergency lighting maintenance and exit light testing to ensure all emergency and egress lighting complies with the required standards and is ready to perform in an emergency.
Your switchboard controls the flow of electricity through your entire building. Preventative switchboard maintenance includes visual inspections, thermal checks, tightening of connections and testing of circuit breakers and safety switches. This helps prevent faults and supports the safe operation of your electrical system. See our related Load Centre Upgrades service for when your switchboard needs more than maintenance.
Thermal imaging is one of the most effective tools for electrical fault prevention. Our team uses infrared cameras to identify hot spots in switchboards, circuits and connections that are not visible to the naked eye. Detecting these issues early prevents equipment damage, fire risks and unexpected failures. Learn more about our dedicated Thermal Imaging service.
Our test and tag services keep your portable electrical equipment safe and compliant. All testing is completed to AS/NZS 3760 and full records are provided after every visit.
We carry out comprehensive electrical compliance testing to confirm your property meets current Australian Standards. Written reports and detailed service records are provided after each visit. These records are valuable for compliance, insurance and property audits.
Our electrical safety inspections cover your wiring, circuits, switchboards, earthing systems, safety switches, emergency lighting and more. These inspections give you a clear and current picture of the health of your electrical system and highlight anything that needs attention.
Through routine electrical testing and maintenance, we identify deterioration, corrosion, loose connections and other issues before they cause failures. Electrical fault prevention is central to every programmed maintenance visit we carry out. If a fault is found during a scheduled visit, we also offer Fault Finding as a standalone service.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your electrical system to understand its current condition and identify any immediate concerns that need attention.
We prepare a written electrical maintenance plan that outlines what will be inspected, tested or serviced on each visit, and how frequently. We go through this with you before any work begins.
Our team visits your property on the agreed schedule to carry out all routine electrical maintenance and testing. Every visit is completed by fully qualified tradespeople.
If any faults or issues are found during a visit, we discuss them with you straight away and arrange repairs promptly. Urgent safety issues are addressed immediately.
After every visit, we provide a full written report. We maintain a complete service history for your property that is available on request at any time.
Whether you manage a commercial office, retail premises, warehouse, strata property or industrial facility, our team can develop a customised electrical maintenance program to suit your requirements.

Really happy with the service. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Maxim StepanovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unfortunately it happened on Christmas Day, a circuit breaker tripped and unfortunately wouldn’t reset and it had to affect the kitchen and preparation and cooking were just starting. After a frantic call, one of your electricians arrived at our door inside of 30 minutes of ringing, so the response time was excellent. After a quick inspection and having confirmed that everything on the circuit was unplugged, it was determined that by sheer luck I had a faulty breaker that decided Christmas was the perfect time to give up the ghost. The tech had a new circuit breaker installed within 5 minutes and patiently waited whilst we plugged every appliance back in and turned on, to ensure that everything was correct. I cannot thank the technician enough, that he came out and saved Christmas for my family and wasn’t bothered that I had interrupted his family time on such an important holiday, when he more than likely had his own things to do for his own family. If anybody is looking for a professional reliable team of Electricians, I couldn’t recommend anyone other than Stuart Johnson Electrical and I should also mention that the cost was more than reasonable and my wife was extremely grateful.Posted on Google jim KeaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
