🔌 What Is a Commercial Electrician?
A commercial electrician is like a domestic electrician’s cooler, more compliance-savvy cousin. While a domestic sparkie wires up your house, a commercial one tackles the bigger beasts — from offices to cafés, schools to showrooms.
We deal with:
Heavier power loads (hello, 3-phase electricity)
More complex systems (think data cabling and large switchboards)
Emergency exit lighting (because “just follow the glowing vending machine” isn’t OH&S compliant)
So if your building needs power and people rely on it to work, that’s our jam.
🔄 What’s the Difference Between a Commercial and Domestic Electrician?
Think of it like this: a domestic electrician makes your home safe and functional, while a commercial electrician keeps your business from descending into darkness during your morning Zoom call.
Here’s the lowdown:
Training: Both are licensed, but commercial electricians train to handle larger systems and higher voltages.
Tools: We use specialised gear to test and install systems commercial buildings require.
Jobs: From emergency lighting to data backbone setups — it’s less “where’s the kettle outlet?” and more “how do we power 300 workstations without tripping the board?”
We also wear tougher boots. Probably emotionally, too.

🔧 What’s the Main Difference Between Commercial and Domestic Wiring?
Great question! And no, it’s not just that commercial wiring wears a tie.
Here’s the main difference:
Commercial wiring usually runs through conduits in exposed ceilings or industrial spaces and carries higher voltages.
It often involves 3-phase power, which delivers a consistent and stronger energy supply — ideal for big equipment or lots of computers.
Domestic wiring is usually single-phase and hidden behind walls. It’s perfect for Netflix and microwaves, less so for power-hungry commercial tools.
Basically, if your wiring needs a six-pack of Red Bulls to keep up — it’s commercial.
🏠 What’s the Difference Between Residential and Commercial Electrical Work?
Aside from the number of coffee machines involved? Plenty.
Commercial electrical:
Requires rigorous compliance standards
Supports larger systems (like those in shopping centres or office blocks)
Involves planned maintenance and safety testing (nobody likes a mid-meeting blackout)
Residential is more about creature comforts — ovens, lighting, heating. Commercial? It’s about keeping business booming without sparks flying (unless it’s a celebration).
At Luno Electrical, we do both — but we bring our A-team of commercial electricians for business jobs, so you get speed, safety, and smarts.
🤔 Are Residential and Commercial the Same Electrical?
Short answer: nope.
Long answer: they follow different codes, use different materials, and require different levels of expertise. Trying to use a residential electrician for your commercial setup is like hiring a plumber to fix your Wi-Fi — brave, but risky.
If you’re running a business in Hawthorn, you want a team who understands:
Luno handles it all — and yes, we’ll even explain it without jargon. (Unless you enjoy the term “Residual Current Device”, in which case, buckle up.)
