FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Mascot?
Our licensed electricians provide complete lighting upgrade solutions for homes, offices, retail stores, and industrial facilities across Mascot. Services include LED retrofits for existing fittings, installation of high-efficiency downlights, sensor-controlled security and car-park lighting, emergency and exit lighting upgrades, feature and façade lighting, and smart-lighting systems that integrate with voice assistants or building-management systems.
How much can I save by switching to LED lighting?
LED lamps typically use 70–85 % less electricity than halogen or older fluorescent lamps. For example, replacing a 50 W halogen downlight with a 9 W LED can save around $20–$25 per fitting each year at today’s energy prices. In commercial spaces with long operating hours, payback periods are often under 18 months, and ongoing maintenance costs drop because LEDs last 25,000–50,000 hours versus 1,000–2,000 hours for halogens.
Are your lighting upgrades compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. All products we install carry Australian electrical safety approval (RCM) and meet AS/NZS 60598 for luminaires. Emergency and exit fittings comply with AS 2293, while our wiring methods follow AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Wiring Rules). On completion we provide Certificates of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) as required by NSW Fair Trading, so you have documented proof that the work meets all statutory requirements.
Do I need council approval or an electrical inspection for a lighting upgrade?
For standard like-for-like or LED retrofit upgrades inside existing premises, council approval is generally not required. If the project forms part of a broader renovation or affects heritage-listed façades, Mascot’s local planning rules may trigger a Development Application; we can advise during the quotation stage. All electrical work is inspected and tested by our Level 2 electricians, and random audits may be conducted by NSW Fair Trading—no extra action is needed from you.
How long does a typical commercial lighting upgrade take and will operations be disrupted?
A small office (up to 200 m²) can be completed in one day, while larger warehouses or multi-storey tenancies may span several evenings or weekends. We plan phased changeovers, isolate only the circuits we’re working on, and clean up as we go. Most businesses in Mascot choose after-hours or weekend installation to avoid downtime; our team is fully insured and accustomed to working within tight operational schedules.
What costs are involved and do you offer rebates?
Costs depend on the number of fittings, access equipment, and whether new wiring or controls are needed. Residential LED downlight replacements start from $45 per point (supply and install). Commercial high-bay retrofits range from $180–$350 each. Through the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS), many projects qualify for upfront rebates that reduce costs by 15–40 %. We handle all paperwork and deduct the rebate from your invoice, so you pay only the net amount.
