One Local Team for Electrical, Security, Solar & HVAC

One call covers it all. We restore power, install CCTV, design solar, and run maintenance programs — certified in every trade we offer, and on call 24/7. Your site stays safe, compliant and running.

CCTV & Security Systems

Security isn't just about cameras — it's about peace of mind. As a Gallagher SMB Solution Partner, Sawtell Contracting NT designs, supplies, and installs commercial-grade CCTV, access control, and perimeter protection systems for councils, industrial sites, and remote facilities.

  • CCTV system design and installation (Bosch, EOS, Gallagher)
  • Access control and card systems
  • Perimeter security and automated gates
  • Networked surveillance and remote monitoring
  • Maintenance and upgrades for existing systems

Every system is fully integrated and compliant, ensuring smooth operation across multi-building facilities, council depots, and industrial premises.

Thermography & Predictive Maintenance

Prevent problems before they happen. With Level 1 Thermography Certification, our team identifies electrical faults before they lead to breakdowns or costly repairs — using thermal imaging and vibration sensors to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

  • Switchboard and circuit thermal scanning
  • Equipment vibration monitoring
  • Early detection of faults and overheating
  • Maintenance reports for compliance documentation

Especially valuable for motels, industrial sites, and remote operations where equipment uptime is critical.

Signature service

The Thermal Safety Check

Accredited in thermal imaging — a specialist capability not every Alice Springs electrician offers. Our Thermal Safety Check inspects your switchboard and wiring with a thermal camera — we find hot joints and missing insulation before they become fires. Photo report included.

  • Switchboard and circuit thermal scan — hot joints and overheating found before they fail
  • Wiring and ceiling insulation checked — gaps and heat leaks mapped with spot temperatures
  • Photo report included — thermal images with temperatures, plus clear recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide emergency electrical services in Alice Springs?

Yes. Sawtell Contracting NT offers 24/7 emergency electrician services across Alice Springs and remote NT, handling faults, outages, and urgent breakdowns at any time of day. Our certified team responds quickly to restore power safely — whether it's an industrial site, motel, or council facility.

What electrical services do you offer?

A complete range of commercial and industrial electrical services, including fault finding and power restoration, switchboard upgrades and safety switch testing, electrical maintenance and test & tag, CCTV, lighting, and solar installations, and HVAC integration and energy-efficient upgrades. All work is completed by fully licensed electricians who meet NT compliance standards.

What do safety switches and switchboards do?

Safety switches detect current leaks and instantly shut off power to prevent electric shock or fires. They're installed within your main switchboard, which distributes power across your site. Regular testing keeps your systems compliant and safe — particularly in industrial and commercial facilities that operate continuously.

Do you install security cameras?

Yes. As a Gallagher SMB Solution Partner, we design and install CCTV and access control systems across Alice Springs and surrounding regions, using trusted brands like Bosch and EOS — with options for remote monitoring, motion detection, and integrated alarms.
