Electrician for Lighting Upgrades

Motive Electrical has completed many lighting upgrade jobs from small downlight swap overs to whole warehouse Hi-Bay replacements. We work in conjunction with lighting specialists to achieve maximum results where a minimum lux level is required for sites like offices, schools and workshops.

Our team can run through various options including retro fitting existing lights to whole LED replacements and can calculate the cost savings involved.

LED Downlights

LED downlights can make a major different to a room or area in your home. They are not only a far more energy efficient option for your home, saving on those electricity bills, but can also provide a more stylish option to improve the look of your home. As well as the benefits of their low energy usage, they also have a far longer life than traditional bulbs, meaning less maintenance and hassle for you.

Outside Lighting

Adding or improving outside lighting can have a significant impact on the look and feel of a home. Not only improving the appearance, it can also make outside areas more usable and safer for the whole family. We can work with you to find solutions for even the trickiest outdoor areas.

Maintenance Electrician

Motive Electrical currently services many clients with their OH&S obligations regarding exit/emergency light, RCD and portable generator testing. We can incorporate a scheduled testing program for your business that takes the burden of organising this testing away from you and into our hands. We often conduct majority of these works outside normal business hours to cause minimum disruption to businesses.

Contact us today to arrange an on site meeting to discuss your specified.

Switchboard upgrades

We can provide switchboard upgrades to prevent serious injuries around your home by installing a safety switch. This will cut off power in the event of a surge and protect you and your family from any electrical shocks, giving you that extra peace of mind.

Power Outage Help

We know a power outage can be a major inconvenience to anyone; we will diagnose and fix the issue to have your power back and running as soon as possible.

    Fantastic service!!! Called Chris to come around because my safety switch kept turning off. Was there within a short time. After investigating he found 1 of my downlights was broken. He suggested replacing with LED as they were more energy efficient and alot safer. After a quick quote which he was able to do and email to me while still at my house. Chris had them all replaced that day. Will be recommending him to everyone. Thanx again for a great job

    Chris was recommended to us by the builder when we renovated our unit at Camden Park. His advice during the planning stage was invaluable, including effective placement of lights and powerpoints specifically to comply with strata title requirements. We had no hesitiation in calling chris to assist us to renovate another unit and minor alterations to our house. I will continue to call upon Chris as required and I would be pleased to recommend Motive Electrical and discuss his quality of work and personal approach to “delighting the client”.

    I used Chris to complete major electrical work when we renovated our home unit in Novar Gardens. Chris assisted with the best placement of new and existing lights and powerpoints I found him to be very helpful, offering great advice and completing work on time, the highest quality and at the price quoted. We were able to re-let the unit a week earlier than expected.

    We couldn’t be happier with the outstanding service and quality of work we received from Motive Electrical. They provided a comprehensive itemised quote for our project in a timely and professional manner. They were honest, punctual, reliable and offered the flexibility to complete our project outside of office hours. The attention to detail and care they put into our project was excellent and greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris and the team and Motive Electrical. Thanks! Tristan, Adelaide SA
