Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?

We proudly service Wangaratta, Benalla, Shepparton, Yarrawonga, Beechworth, Myrtleford, Bright and the surrounding areas, taking on residential and commercial electrical work across new construction, maintenance, alterations, and reactive (emergency) call-outs.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Yes. All of our electricians are fully licensed, and our work is backed by comprehensive insurance, so you can have complete confidence in the safety and quality of every job we complete.

Do you carry out electrical work for industrial and commercial sites?

Yes, we deliver electrical solutions for industrial and commercial properties of all sizes, including new fit-outs, upgrades, maintenance, and reactive works, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.

Can you install and maintain three-phase power systems?

Yes, we design, install, and maintain three-phase power systems for commercial and industrial premises, ensuring your equipment and machinery run safely and reliably.

Do you carry out underground electrical cabling?

Yes, we install underground electrical cabling and supply connections for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, including trenching, conduit installation, and reinstatement of the site once work is complete.

Can you connect underground power to a new subdivision or development?

Yes, we work with developers and builders to install underground electrical infrastructure for new subdivisions and developments, coordinating with the relevant network provider to ensure your project meets all compliance requirements.

Can you schedule commercial and industrial works outside of business hours?

Yes, we understand that downtime affects your bottom line. Where possible, we can schedule works after hours or on weekends to minimise disruption to your staff, customers, and operations.

Do you install and upgrade CCTV and alarm systems?

Yes — whether you need CCTV or an alarm system installed at your residential or commercial property, our Wangaratta electricians can assist, managing the entire process from start to finish.

Can you install TV points and telephone outlets?

Absolutely! We're your one-stop shop for all your TV and telephone needs. We supply and install free-to-air TV points, antennas, and signal boosters, and we can mount your TV and handle your complete setup — including surround sound systems, DVRs, gaming consoles, internet modems, wireless access points, and wireless bridging. Whatever you need, we can take care of it.

Can you install my new Starlink dish?

Yes, we can! We keep Starlink components in stock so we're always ready to carry out installations without delay. Call us today and get reliable internet, anywhere on your property.

Does my switchboard need upgrading?

There are several warning signs that your switchboard may be due for an upgrade. If your home was built before 1980, it's likely that your switchboard no longer meets current safety standards and requires attention.

Other signs to look out for include:

- Ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers

- Timber-backed switchboards

- No RCDs (safety switches) installed

If any of these apply to your property — or you simply want peace of mind — fill out the form above and we'll arrange a site visit to inspect your switchboard and advise on the best course of action.

Visit our switchboard upgrade page for more information.

Blackouts have been so constant this year, what can I do about it?

Power outages are becoming increasingly common, particularly during the height of summer and the depths of winter. As households rely more heavily on heating and cooling to manage extreme temperatures, the added strain on the electrical grid significantly increases the risk of blackouts. A power outage at the wrong moment is more than an inconvenience — it can disrupt your home, your business, and your peace of mind. Fortunately, there are reliable solutions available.

**1. Generator Backup Systems**

We design and install generator backup systems for properties of any size, offering both automatic changeover and manual system options to suit your needs and budget. Our team will guide you through every step of the process — from initial consultation and load calculations, right through to installation — ensuring your property stays powered when the grid goes down. We can also supply a generator tailored specifically to your requirements.

**2. Solar and Battery Storage Solutions**

Whether you already have solar and need battery storage added, or you're after a complete solar and battery system, we can help coordinate the right solution for you. While solar and battery installation is carried out by our trusted specialist partners, we manage the process on your behalf — from initial scoping through to project completion — so you get a seamless experience and a system that meets your needs.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss the right backup power solution for your property.

I just bought an EV can you install the charger?

Yes, we can supply and install electric vehicle chargers for both homes and businesses, helping you charge safely and efficiently.

Do you handle electrical work for new home builds?

Yes, we work with homeowners and builders on new residential and commercial construction projects, from initial rough-in wiring through to final fit-off.

Do you handle electrical work for new home builds?

What should I do if I notice flickering lights or tripped safety switches?

These can be signs of an underlying electrical fault. It's best not to ignore them — get in touch and we can inspect the issue and carry out any necessary repairs.

How quickly can you schedule a job?

Response times depend on the nature of the work, but we aim to accommodate urgent jobs as soon as possible and will always give you a clear timeframe when you book.

Can you install solar panels and battery storage?
