Switchboard Installations, Upgrades, Relocations & Repairs
An electrical switchboard is a large, flat panel that houses the fuses and circuit breakers for an electrical system of a building. They are also sometimes referred to as electrical meter box where the safety switches are housed. It is usually mounted on the wall and is used to safely shut off the power to a section of the system. Switchboards are also used to monitor the system and to trip the circuit breaker if there is a problem. The key parts of a switchboard are the frame, bus, overcurrent devices, instrumentation, exterior shells and covers. The frame is the metal base that everything else is mounted on. The bus can be made of copper or aluminium and it's placed inside the frame. All pieces play their part in ensuring a safe working electrical system.

Ceiling Fans, Bathroom Fans & Extraction Fans
Bathroom fans are an important part of any bathroom. They help to remove moisture and humidity from the air, which can help to prevent the growth of mould and mildew. Additionally, they can help to reduce the amount of bacteria in the air, which can be helpful for those with allergies or asthma. There are a variety of different bathroom fans available on the market. Some are more basic fans that simply remove moisture from the air. Others are more advanced and include features like lights and heaters. It is important to choose a fan that meets your specific needs.
An extraction fan is a device that extracts air from a specific area. This air is unwanted and needs to be removed from the area for safety reasons. This could be a fan in the laundry to remove humidity generated by a dryer. There are several different types of extraction fans, but all of them serve the same basic purpose. Some fans are mounted on the wall, while others are embedded in the ceiling. It all depends on the purpose that is needed and what room the fan is installed in.
Whatever type of fan you are looking at, we are able to install, repair or replace any fan you need.
Electrical Cooktops, Rangehoods & Electric Oven Installations
An electrical cooktop is a great appliance to have in your kitchen. Also known as induction cooktops, they are typically more efficient than gas cooktops, and they come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your needs. Some things to consider when purchasing an electric cooktop are the number of burners, the size of the cooktop, and the type of heating elements. Most electric cooktops have anywhere from two to six burners. The size of the cooktop will determine how large of pots and pans you can use. And finally, the type of heating elements will affect how quickly your food will cook. Some cooktops have smooth cooking surfaces, while others have ridges that can help food from sticking.
Some people may be hesitant to purchase an electric oven because they are worried about the cost of running it. However, when you compare the cost of running an electric oven vs. a gas oven, the electric option is actually cheaper in the long run. This is because gas ovens require a pilot light, which uses up additional energy and costs money to maintain. Also, they heat up quickly and cook food evenly, making them a popular choice for busy families.
Rangehoods are an important part of any kitchen. They help to keep the air clean and free of cooking smoke and grease. There are many different types of rangehoods available, so it is important to choose the one that is best suited for your needs. Some range hoods are installed over the stovetop, while others are mounted on the wall. The type you choose will depend on the size of your kitchen and the layout of your cabinets, we can help.
