ELECTRICIANS & DATA CABLERS

A big part of what we do in the electrical trade is ensuring safety on every job, and what sets us apart is our consistent approach to reducing risks. One of our key safety measures is cutting off all power in a home while accessing the roof cavity to run cables. Here’s Henry on a job in Narangba, enjoying a quiet moment in the roof space while waiting for Josh to finish up and tie on a new wire. Safety first, always!

How do you know which of your commercial electrical fixtures need replacing if they’re not regularly inspected? Many areas get overlooked until your trades happen to be nearby. Last week, we replaced a rusted rooftop light fixture in Caboolture. This durable fixture features a pressure die-cast LM6 marine-grade aluminum housing with a tough RAL9007 powder-coated finish, perfect for withstanding the elements. Its frosted polycarbonate lens makes it ideal for exposure in this harsh, north-facing roof location. Regular inspections and lighting audits are key to keeping your fixtures in top shape!

Looking for a simple way to save on energy costs? Installing a time clock on your switchboard is a great solution! Last week, we serviced a commercial switchboard with an old, unreliable time clock that was losing time. We replaced it with a new model that includes a 100-hour backup battery, ensuring the timing stays accurate—even during power outages. No more wasted energy or worrying about losing track of time!

When ‘Ghosts’ start making the lights in the house flicker it could be a symptom of loose / corroded connections - especially common in coastal areas.
Here’s our lead electrician, yesterday finishing up an inspection and renewal of a switchboard in #bribieisland. We renewed several corroded internal parts, cleaned, sealed, lubricated and paint rusted parts to inhibit further corrosion. We also performed regular testing to ensure the ‘Ghosts’ don’t make the lights flicker anytime soon.

Cabling is in our DNA but we have got nothing against wireless communications! Here’s one of our team in #bellmere yesterday connecting a new wireless link between house and shed to provide a seemless local network connection without the expense of digging up the driveway. Great value solution utilising cabling AND readily available wireless bridging technology. #wirelessbridge

Don’t be an Ostrich with its head in the sand! If you haven’t had an electrical checkup lately don’t put it off forever! Regular checkups and maintenance are a cost effective way to avoid major disruptions and surprise loss of power ✊
Here’s one of our electrician’s beginning a visual inspection prior to pulling out specialist test equipment and performing a checkup in Donnybrook this week.

We sometimes make a mess…
We ALWAYS clean it up.

After an early morning of lighting maintenance on Monday, a Security Services Provider advised that we’d given him a big shock when he looked up to see Josh’s face blocking out one of his cameras. We’re just glad that Josh has a focussed look on his face and wasn’t busted picking his nose!

The heavy rains delayed our owners shed construction by an extra week but as soon as they finished erecting we got started working with the wiring! Plenty of light inside and outside as well. We finished testing as the sun went down which gave us great satisfaction using the new LED batten lights to help us clean up and get on our way.

Geese it was warm and muggy this week! Didn’t slow our maintenance service down though.
Upgraded some failed carpark lights with built-in microwave motion sensors that hold brightness at 10% to save energy costs, until there’s movement and they automatically ramp up to 100% for 10 minutes.
