What an electrician can do for your home or business

A licensed electrician installs, repairs, adds to and alters the wiring and electrical equipment in a building, from a single power point to a new switchboard. In NSW that work must be done by a licensed electrician, and it is certified with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). Peter works as both a domestic and commercial electrician: houses and apartments, strata buildings, shops, cafes and offices. The electrician services below are grouped by the kind of job.

Emergency

24/7 emergency
Emergency callouts across the Eastern Suburbs: sparks, burning smells, no power, water in electrics.

Faults & repairs

Electrical faults
Tracing the root cause rather than patching the symptom, so it does not come back.

Safety & compliance

Switchboard upgrades
Replacing ceramic fuses and overloaded boards with a modern, properly protected switchboard.
Electrical inspections
A documented check of your installation, for peace of mind or before you buy.
Exit & emergency lighting
Installation and the six-monthly testing your building is legally required to hold.
Safety switches
RCD installation and testing: the device that cuts the power when it detects current leaking to earth.
Smoke alarms
Compliant interconnected alarms, hard-wired and positioned to NSW requirements.
Surge protection
Protecting everything downstream from spikes off the grid and summer storms.
Test & tag
Appliance testing and tagging for workplaces, with records that satisfy an audit.

Lighting

Garden lighting
Outdoor and landscape lighting that extends the house into the garden after dark.
LED lighting
LED downlights that use about 75% less energy than halogen and last 5 to 10 times longer.
Lighting design
Layered lighting planned room by room, not a grid of downlights in a ceiling.
Pool lights
Pool and water-feature lighting installed to the strict wet-area standards.

Power & switching

Dimmers
Correctly matched dimmers, so LEDs actually dim instead of flickering and buzzing.
Powerpoints
New outlets, relocations and USB points — including in older brick and heritage walls.
Switches
Replacements, relocations and two-way switching done cleanly.

Appliances

Ceiling fans
Supply and install, including replacing a light fitting with a fan on an existing point.
