Residential

A warm living room at night lit by recessed ceiling lights and a fire, with the curtains drawn.

New builds, renovations and the long list of things an older house needs before anything else is worth doing. Quoted properly, so the number you're given is the number you pay.

Service and panel upgrades (100A, 200A, sub-panels)
Full and partial rewiring, including knob-and-tube replacement
New circuits for heat pumps, hot tubs, ranges and shops
Interior, exterior and landscape lighting
Pot lights, dimming and switching layouts
Outlets, switches, USB and outdoor receptacles
Smoke and CO alarm circuits
Renovation rough-in and finishing
Generator and transfer switch wiring

Commercial

The inside of a bright retail shop, lit by rows of ceiling spots over the displays.

Shops, offices, small warehouses and light industrial. Work staged around your opening hours, because the cost of a commercial job is usually the downtime rather than the labour. We strive to perform with quality and timeliness, every time.

Tenant improvements and fit-outs
Service upgrades and distribution changes
LED lighting retrofits and emergency lighting
Dedicated circuits for new equipment and machinery
Data, security and low-voltage rough-in
Exterior, parking and signage lighting
Scheduled maintenance and fault-finding

Experience across residential, commercial and some light industrial work, so a building that's a bit of all three doesn't need three trades to look at it.

Service & repair

A bank of hand-labelled disconnects in an older building's service space, flexible conduit running back to the beams overhead.

Found, explained, and fixed. Half of electrical repair is diagnosis, and the other half is telling you what actually happened in language you can act on. You'll get both, including when the honest answer is that the fix is smaller than you feared.

Breakers that trip and circuits that go dead
Lights that flicker or dim when something else turns on
Aluminium branch wiring and knob-and-tube
Undersized panels and backstabbed devices
Painted-over junctions and buried boxes
Failed outlets and switches, damaged fixtures
Burnt terminations, water-damaged runs and rodent damage
Safety walk-through with a written list, before you buy or rent out
Planned maintenance visits for commercial sites

Level 2 charging, sized to your service

An electric car plugged into a wall-mounted home charger, its cable running down to the port.

The charger is the cheap part. What decides the job is whether your panel can carry another 40 amps, how far the run has to travel, and whether a load calculation says a smart split beats a service upgrade.

Home Level 2 installs, hardwired or on a dedicated 14-50 outlet
Load assessment on your existing service before anything is ordered
Panel or service upgrade where the numbers call for one
Load-management devices as an alternative to upgrading
Garage, carport and outdoor mounting, weather-rated
Workplace and multi-bay charging for commercial sites
Conduit left in place for a second charger later
