Commercial Electrical Maintenance and Testing
Keep the heart of your building beating.
What Happens When the Power Stops
Picture your building without power for a day. No lights, no phones, no computers, no HVAC, no lifts. Tenants can't work, customers can't be served, and every hour has a number attached to it.
Most of the time a grid failure isn't the cause. It's a switchboard nobody has opened in five years, an RCD that was never tested, a connection quietly heating up behind a panel.
A compliant, well-maintained electrical system stands between routine operation and that day. Your OH&S obligations and insurance conditions assume you have one.
Commercial Electrical Maintenance, Done Properly
TCM has been maintaining Victorian commercial and industrial electrical systems for decades, as a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 13660) with directly employed, certified electricians.
We don't just keep systems running. We help you manage them: where the load sits, what's degrading, what's costing more than it should, and what to plan for before it fails.
Testing and compliance
- RCD testing
- Test and tagging
- Emergency and exit lighting testing (coordinated with your ESM program — see Fire/ESM)
- Thermographic scanning and condition reporting
- Generator and UPS testing
Systems and infrastructure
- Switchboard maintenance and upgrades
- Light and power
- Programmable logic controllers (PLC)
- Variable speed drives (VSDs)
- CT metering and data
- Electrical maintenance and repairs across building plant
Efficiency and load
- Load balancing
- Power factor correction (PFC)
- Consumption monitoring and reporting
Electricity Is a Cost You Can Manage
Electrical maintenance protects your building. It also has one of the clearest returns of anything you'll spend on it.
As energy prices climb, how efficiently you use power becomes a line item worth attention. Balanced loads, corrected power factor, properly tuned drives and monitored consumption all reduce what you pay. The data that identifies those savings comes out of the same maintenance visits you're already scheduling.
We'll show you where your building is spending, and what's worth changing.
Commercial Electrical Maintenance Contracts
Most buildings run electrical work reactively. Call someone when something breaks, pay the callout, repeat. A scheduled maintenance contract replaces that with a known program, a known cost, and records you can produce on demand.
Better still, run it alongside your fire and mechanical maintenance. Same provider, same coordinated visits, one report covering the building rather than three that don't reference each other.

Electrical Systems: Common Questions
Frequencies vary by installation type, environment and how the equipment is used. Some settings require testing far more often than others. We set a schedule against your site and the relevant standards rather than applying a blanket interval.
Inspection and electrical testing of portable appliances and leads, tagging with test date and result, and a register you can produce for audits or insurers. We track it all in Uptick alongside your other compliance records.
Thermal imaging of switchboards and connections under load, which reveals hot spots caused by loose or failing connections before they cause a fault or fire. It's one of the highest-value preventative checks available on an electrical system.
Yes, and that's the point of TCM. One provider, one schedule, one set of reporting across all three disciplines, with a single director accountable for the lot.
