There’s a lot more to the cost of a light bulb than the price tag sticker. There’s the impact on your electrical bill, the tally of replacement bulbs you’ll need to buy, and the time you have to factor in for maintenance. Sure, the light bulb in your table lamp may take just a few minutes to replace, but what about your recessed cans that are two stories away from easy access?

We published an infographic on Lighting Facts, a program of the U.S. Department of Energy, created the one below, showing the five-year-cost of 100 watt equivalent light bulbs. As you can see, the low purchase cost of an incandescent light bulb doesn’t necessarily pay off in the end:

My dad might just be the most difficult person I know to find gifts for. Unlike other dads, who might enjoy fishing, golfing, or watching football, mine rides and restores vintage motorcycles for fun. What’s so difficult about that? Well, there are only so many spark plugs and screwdrivers he needs, and only so many specialty parts I can track down before I’m in over my head.

That’s why I went out on a limb this Christmas, and decided to give him one of our

As you can see, the light’s long neck lets it curve and reach to illuminate the motorcycle’s body for detailed work.

Commercial enterprises tend to have a number of heavy-duty appliances and equipment including data processing installations and communications equipment. Hotels and restaurants have various appliances that rely very heavily on electricity too.

When you start looking for a commercial electrician for any scheduled maintenance, a major installation or even any replacement or repair work, you know that you will need a professional that would provide reliable and high-quality electrical services. Here are some tips to hire a commercial electrician in Sydney:

When it comes to electrical work, a poor job can be extremely dangerous to people and property. The commercial electrician you hire should be able to provide services that are in-line with Australian Standards; they should also provide guarantees for their work and this is an indication that they are confident about their own workmanship. Apart from this, you can be assured they will tackle the job in a competent and professional manner.

When any electrical emergency arises, you need to be sure that the company will be able to quickly send out a licensed and insured electrician to your location within the shortest possible time. You also need someone who would be able to meet project deadlines. Any downtime on electricity can have a major impact on the working at a commercial establishment and it impacts their revenue as well. This is why you need to hire professionals that will use the latest technology and complete the job quickly and efficiently.

Only a company that is professional and careful about maintaining its reputation in the field will ensure that every single aspect of their business is in place. They should have well-trained, qualified, licensed and insured commercial electricians on their team. Apart from this, the company should also have the necessary worker’s compensation as well as professional indemnity. They should also ensure that all their personnel undergo regular training; this helps them keep their skills sharp and knowledge current.

Before you decide which commercial electrician you are finally going to hire, it’s a good idea to get quotes from multiple electrical companies. Look for one that will be able to provide you long-term value. It’s not always about hiring one that provides the lowest quote, but they should be able to provide solutions such as energy-efficient installations etc. It’s important that you ask the companies to provide detailed quotes based on your specific requirement; check what’s included or excluded in the quote.

It’s best not to be hasty with making your final decision about a commercial electrician in Sydney. However it’s something you shouldn’t be putting-off to later date either, as you never know when you would urgently need the services of an electrician on your premises. Look for a company that’s local to your area, as that will ensure you get quick and efficient services exactly when you need them.

It’s best to call in an electrician, discuss your electrical requirements and get them to assess what the cost of the various services will be and what kind of preventive electrical maintenance plans they provide.
