Before you get in touch
Does my old fuse board need replacing?
Not always straight away, but older ceramic-fuse boards often have no safety switches. We'll look at it and tell you what we'd recommend and why.
How messy is a rewire?
Less than most people expect. In most period homes we can run cables through the roof space and under the floor, so we only cut where we have to and patch those spots.
Can you install an EV charger at my place?
Usually, yes. We check your supply, your switchboard and the cable run to where you park first, then quote the whole job.
Do you come out after hours?
For urgent faults like no power or a safety switch that won't reset, we'll come when one of us is available. After-hours rates apply and we'll tell you what they are first.
Can you replace my two-pin power points?
Yes. Old two-pin sockets have no earth, so we check the circuit and wiring behind them before fitting new earthed outlets.
Which areas do you cover?
Yarraville, Seddon, Footscray, West Footscray, Kingsville, Spotswood, Newport, Williamstown, Maidstone and Altona North.
How the job is priced
Power point work is usually charged by the hour plus parts, and we tell you the hourly rate when you book. Larger jobs involving several rooms can be quoted once we've seen the circuit.
Other work we do
Besides power points, these jobs too.
