Services
Downlights, pendants, strip lighting, dimmers. Swap old halogens for LEDs: same light, far less power, no hot ceiling.
Extra power points where you need them, plus designer switch plates.
Our range or yours. Bathroom heat-lamp units too.
Tripping safety switches, dead circuits, burning smells. Call, don't wait.
Safety switches on every circuit, and room for an EV charger or solar later.
Home charging, sized for your switchboard, with smart-charging options.
Panels and inverters, designed for your roof and how you use power.
Store your solar, keep the lights on in an outage.
Weatherproof eave lights, and sensor lights that help deter intruders.
Cameras and video doorbells, wired in properly and set up on your phone.
Ovens, cooktops, heaters, pool pumps and anything that needs its own circuit.
Smart dimmers and switches, plus ethernet and wifi points.
While we're there, we'll check every circuit has a safety switch and tell you if your board is ready for an EV charger or solar. No charge, no pressure, no sales pitch.
Going electric
Most EV and solar jobs come down to what your board can take. We check that first, so the quote is right the first time.
A dedicated circuit and a charger sized for your board, with smart charging so you top up overnight when power is cheapest. Any major charger brand, or we'll recommend one.
Panels, inverter and battery sized around how you actually use power, not a one-size package. We'll tell you straight if a battery isn't worth it yet.
Good to know
An old halogen downlight draws about 50 W; the LED that replaces it draws about 8 to 9 W for the same light, roughly 80% less. They also run cool, can sit against insulation, and last years longer.
A circuit breaker protects the wiring from overload. A safety switch (RCD) protects people: it cuts the power in a fraction of a second when current leaks, such as through a faulty appliance or a person. Many older Canberra homes have one safety switch, or none. We check on every job.
Yes. In Australia any fixed wiring work, including swapping a light fitting or a power point, has to be done by a licensed electrician. Plugging in a lamp or changing a bulb is fine.
A 7 kW charger adds roughly 40 km of range per hour, so most cars are full overnight. A standard power point manages about 10 km per hour. Three-phase 22 kW is faster than most cars can accept.
A DC ceiling fan on high uses about 30 W, less than one old halogen downlight. Run it in reverse in winter to push warm air back down from the ceiling.
Usually water getting into an outdoor light, power point or garden-light cable. It is doing its job. Tell us which breaker trips and when, and we can normally find it quickly.
A few hours during the job, and the whole thing is usually done in a day. We book it for a time that suits you and tell you before we switch off.
It depends on how much solar you export and what your evening use looks like. Sometimes yes, sometimes not yet, and we will tell you which. A solar system can be built battery-ready so you can add one later.

Reviews
We’ve had Hannah, Ben, and Laura do multiple jobs for us over the past few years and wouldn’t use anyone else. Super polite, always happy to explain their work and options available, great quality, competitive pricing!
The first people I’d call for anything electrical. Very honest, good prices and explained to us what was happening with our meter box when other electricians didn’t.
The ladies came around and installed some additional power points plus completed a fault finding mission all in 40 minutes. Very impressed with the professionalism and the fantastic quality of work.
