Electrical Services Built Around Your Business and Premises
AC1 Electrical Services Ltd provides commercial and industrial electrical services for businesses, property operators and organisations across the South East of England.
We undertake electrical installations, alterations, distribution upgrades, three-phase power, lighting, maintenance, fault finding, inspection and testing. Our work ranges from individual repairs and new circuits to commercial refurbishments and larger industrial electrical projects.
Every site operates differently. The scope, access, working hours, shutdown requirements and completion records can therefore be agreed around the building, equipment and operational needs of the client.
