Common questions

Can you replace a light with a ceiling fan?

Usually, yes. The fan has to be fixed to the ceiling structure, and the switch normally changes to a fan controller. We check what is above the ceiling first.

Is it worth replacing halogen downlights with LED?

Yes. A 60 W halogen replaced with a 9 W LED uses about 85% less energy for the same light output. LEDs also run much cooler and last far longer, so you replace them less often.

What should I do when a safety switch trips?

Unplug all appliances, then flick the switch back on, and if it will not stay on call a licensed electrician.

Do I get a Certificate of Compliance for a switchboard upgrade?

Yes. Every switchboard upgrade we complete comes with a Certificate of Compliance, the legal record that the work was done to standard by a licensed electrician. Keep it. It is what protects you if you sell, lease, or need to show an insurer the work was done properly.

Do you really answer after hours?

Yes. We take calls day and night. The one thing that can delay us is mobile coverage: if we are on a remote job and out of range, text and we will ring straight back as soon as we have signal.

Do you service and repair existing CCTV systems?

Yes. We service, check and repair CCTV systems in Alice Springs, and upgrade ageing analogue systems to IP. Tell us the camera brand and the problem when you ring.
