What Your Sparky Wishes You Knew

We love when clients are curious, but here are a few handy tips your local electrician secretly hopes you know before the job starts:

  • Flickering lights aren’t normal. It’s usually a loose wire or overloaded circuit. Don’t ignore it.
  • Yes, we can add power points. But we’ll need to check the wiring and load, especially in older homes.
  • Outdated switchboards = safety risk. If yours doesn’t have safety switches, it’s worth upgrading.
  • Smart home setups aren’t just for new builds. We can integrate them into most existing homes too.
  • DIY electrical work? Just… no. We’ve seen the aftermath. Please call us first!

Not sure what’s going on? That’s what we’re here for. We’ll talk it through and get you safely powered up. You might also find handy electrical tips and other helpful stuff over on our blog!

Electrical Explained

Got questions about wiring upgrades, safety switches or smart home possibilities? Get answers from your Lismore electrician here.

My safety switch keeps tripping. Does that mean it's faulty?

Not always! While the safety switch (RCD) itself could be faulty, it’s usually doing its job and tripping due to an earth leakage fault in an appliance or circuit wiring. Our licensed electricians perform RCD testing and insulation resistance tests (electrical compliance and testing) to find the precise cause.

What's involved in structured data networks for a business fit-out?

It means professionally installing Cat 6 or fibre optic structured data networks for optimal speed and reliability connecting computers, phones and servers in your office fit-out. Our electrical contractors ensure testing and certification, often working alongside joinery teams.

Can you install smart lighting that I can control from my phone?

Yes! We love smart home automation. Our Lismore electricians install systems like KNX for smart lighting control via apps/voice, setting schedules, or linking with security or solar panel systems for energy management.

Do you offer regular electrical maintenance for businesses?

Absolutely. Scheduled electrical preventative maintenance (PPM) is vital for business safety compliance (AS/NZS 3019). Our commercial electrician team performs checks like emergency lighting duration tests, RCD trip time tests, and switchboard thermal imaging across the Northern Rivers.

I need extra power points installed in my older home. Is that a big job?

While usually straightforward, electrical safety is paramount in older Lismore homes! Our residential electrician assesses the existing electrical wiring and switchboard load first. If needed, we’ll perform power board upgrades to meet current standards before adding circuits, coordinating with painting for patching.
