Residential and Commercial Electrical Services
When it comes to homes and businesses, electrical contractors are responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and modern electrical systems. Whether you’re renovating a home, building a new property, or upgrading a commercial unit, certified electrical contractors manage everything from wiring and lighting to fuse board upgrades and safety compliance.
For homeowners, this might involve complete house rewiring, electrical inspections, new socket installations, or fitting energy-efficient lighting solutions. Professional contractors assess your property’s current setup and recommend tailored solutions that meet today’s higher safety standards.
For businesses, electrical contractors play a vital role in creating reliable and scalable systems. This includes designing and installing power distribution, security lighting, emergency lighting, and ongoing maintenance services to ensure your commercial premises remain compliant and operational.
At Lux Electrical Contractors, we offer expert residential electrical services to help homeowners modernise their systems for comfort, safety, and efficiency. Our team also specialises in commercial electrical services, ensuring that businesses are equipped with robust electrical infrastructure to support daily operations with minimal disruption.
Electrical contractors don’t just fix problems, they help future-proof your property, enhance energy efficiency, and improve the overall functionality of your space. Choosing a trusted team ensures the work is carried out to the highest Irish safety standards (ET101:2020) and fully certified for insurance and compliance purposes.
Industrial Installations and Emergency Electrical Support
Electrical contractors also manage larger, more complex projects such as industrial installations and renewable energy systems. These projects demand specialised knowledge, meticulous planning, and a strong focus on long-term reliability and safety.
In industrial environments, electrical contractors handle everything from heavy-duty wiring and high-capacity fuse boards to bespoke system designs tailored to the operational needs of factories, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. They ensure installations are capable of handling large electrical loads safely, with built-in protections against system failures.
With the increasing push towards sustainability, electrical contractors are now playing a huge role in renewable energy projects. From installing solar PV systems to integrating energy-saving technologies, these services help businesses and homeowners reduce carbon footprints and cut energy costs.
At Lux Electrical Contractors, we offer expert industrial electrical services designed for complex and demanding environments. Our team also specialises in solar PV electrical services for residential and commercial clients across Kildare, providing efficient and SEAI-registered solar panel installations that contribute to a greener future.
Professional electrical contractors not only install these systems but also offer advice on energy optimisation, helping clients qualify for valuable grants and incentives while maximising their savings.
Emergency Electrical Services and Home Charging Solutions
A crucial part of what electrical contractors do involves providing urgent services when things go wrong. Electrical issues can happen without warning, posing serious safety risks. Whether it’s a power outage, tripped fuse board, or faulty wiring, having access to reliable emergency electrical services is vital to protect people and property.
Professional contractors like Lux Electrical Contractors offer 24/7 emergency call-out electrical services, giving you peace of mind that help is always available when you need it most. Fast response times and expert troubleshooting mean electrical hazards are quickly identified and made safe, reducing downtime and potential damage.
In addition to emergency support, modern electrical contractors are adapting to changing technologies, such as the rising demand for electric vehicles. Installing home EV chargers is now one of the most popular services requested by homeowners. Contractors assess your home’s existing wiring, recommend the best charger type, and handle full installation in compliance with SEAI standards, often helping customers qualify for available grants.
If you’re considering upgrading your home for the future, our team offers expert advice and professional electric car charger installation services to help you transition smoothly to sustainable transport.
Choosing a skilled electrical contractor ensures that every service, whether emergency or planned, is carried out safely, efficiently, and in line with the latest Irish regulations.
