Not necessarily. We normally say that houses over 60 years old may need rewiring, but every case is different and it’s best to err on the side of safety. Even if there’s no apparent danger, old wiring can play havoc with your computers and devices. Call us and we’ll put your mind at rest.
No, we do large jobs and small jobs, it’s all part of the service. And definitely do not even think about doing it yourself. It might look easy, but you could get electrocuted, start a fire and make your insurance null & void.
The LED down lights we stock have a longer warranty, up to 3 years. They are bright (800 lumens) yet dimmable. They can also reduce your maintenance costs, and can save up to 80% off your lighting bill. Furthermore, LED down lights is not the fire hazard. They emit low heat compared to your average halogen down lights that emit a high heat that can burn your skin to touch. Heat, over time, breaks components down and causes the fire. This is why LED down lights are strongly recommended.
Photo-electric: detect visible smoke and slow smouldering fires. They are suitable for most locations including near kitchen as they are less prone to false alarms from cooking. Ionisation: detect particles of smoke from fast flaming fires. All fire services in Australia recommend photo-electric smoke alarms when installing or replacing existing smoke alarms. For additional protection consider installing interconnected smoke alarms connected to 240 volt mains power.
Yes if you have an old fuse box it needs to be upgraded because: Like most things when they get old, they become brittle, cable connections become loose and there is no safety protection device to protect you, your kids, family/friends, animals and appliances from electric shocks. When you get us to upgrade your fuse box, we upgrade it to meet the rules and regulations of AS3000. This means that your new switchboard will have the appropriate circuit breakers and safety switches.
No, it means we’re good. Accredited master electricians are recognised by their peers as being both skilful and knowledgeable, so you can rest easy knowing that your job will be done right.
