Home/Services

What we do, and how we do it.

  • Power point additions & relocations
  • Ceiling fans, exhaust fans, range hoods
  • Smoke alarms (AS 3786 compliant)
  • Hard-wired sensor & security lights

06Emergencies

24/7 emergencies

Sparks from the switchboard. A burning smell behind a power point. The whole street has power but your house doesn’t. Out-of-hours calls go to a real person on our team — not a call centre in another state.

What we cover

  • Live exposed wiring & isolations
  • Burning smells & scorched fittings
  • Repeated breaker trips
  • Total power loss
  • Storm damage
  • Make-safe service then full repair next business day
