25.01.2022 Garden lights are a great way to make your yard a magical place at night. Just in time for those summer BBQ's

25.01.2022 The Last Supper. 2020 has been a tough year, time to let the hair down and enjoy the Xmas break. Thanks to the crew, old and new, your efforts in the post apocalyptic covid world has been fantastic. #xmasparty #xmasbreakup #theapollocafe

25.01.2022 Painting your walls can often show up just how discoloured your old Powerpoints can get. We can upgrade and replace those old dirty GPO's to a new, clean product with a lifetime warranty which means you won't pay a cent if one goes faulty. #electrical #electricalupgrades #voltexelectrical #renovations #painting

24.01.2022 The before and after... We updated this 3-phase house which had 3x 2kW inverters and a 2kWh battery. With only 5kW total of panels on the roof this system barely made a dent in this large family's household electricity bill. We removed the old, outdated system and put new 6.66kW systems on each phase, and 2x 2.4kWh batteries for their night time essentials.... That's a total of 19.98kW's! Stay tuned for more photos to come...

23.01.2022 Our first sale! 54x Jinko 370W solar panels with all-black Clenergy rail. This rural property had 5kW of existing panels on its roof that hardly made a dent in their $700/month electricity bill. We ripped off the old panels and replaced them with 3x 6.66kW systems, one for each phase, with 2.4kWhs of battery backup for their night time essentials.... We've predicted this should cut their average monthly bill by over 60%. That's a huge saving!! Well done team Jimmy Crane Cyrina Muller #clenergyhollywood #clenergysolar #jinko #jinkosolar #solar #solarporn

22.01.2022 $100,000 fine for Airtasker fake electrician A man who posed as a qualified electrician to get work in homes around south-east Queensland has been fined $100,000 in the Brisbane Magistrates Court. Amilcar Appel posed as a qualified electrician on the online marketplace Airtasker and advertised electrical services to households in the greater Brisbane area between November 2015 and June 2017. However, he had never held an electrical contractor licence or any qualifications to... perform electrical work. The Electrical Safety Office (ESO) received a complaint about Appel’s work after a licensed electrician found substantially defective work in a home which Appel had been paid to complete through Airtasker. An ESO investigation established that Appel had conducted similar unlicensed and non-compliant electrical work at a further eight addresses through Airtasker. Appel, who failed to make an appearance in court, was convicted and ordered to pay a $100,000 fine for thirteen offences under the Electrical Safety Act 2002: Four section 40C (category 2) offences concerning particularly dangerous electrical work performed by the defendant which exposed individuals to a risk of death or serious injury. Eight section 55(1) offences relating to the performance of electrical work while not holding an electrical work licence. One section 56(1) offence relating to conducting a business or undertaking including the performance of electrical work while not holding an electrical contractor licence. While issuing the hefty fine, Magistrate Belinda Merrin noted that, while no-one was killed or injured, the potential consequences were significant. She also noted Appel had not cooperated with the investigation and there was no indication he felt remorse for his actions. Head of Queensland’s Electrical Safety Office Victoria Thomson said the sentencing served as an important reminder to everyone to check their electrical contractor is licensed. Faulty wiring or unlicensed electrical work can cost you thousands of dollars to fix up and in some cases, void your home insurance. Worse still, it can put you and your family in serious danger of electric shock or a house fire. Homeowners can quickly and easily check their electrician has the right credentials by searching our electrical licences register, Ms Thomson said. The electrical licences register and information on penalties under Queensland’s electrical safety laws is at electricalsafety.qld.gov.au. See more

22.01.2022 Before and after installing LED Downlights. The difference is incredible #downlights #voltexelectrical

22.01.2022 Happy fathers day to all the dad's out there.

21.01.2022 Sometimes when you complete a job you find your work doesn't pass all the safety tests. This was a lighting circuit with a neutral-earth fault. Even if we livened the circuit the RCD would trip as soon as you turned any light on. Culprit was a plaster screw put in by the owner builder. Of course it was on a Friday afternoon. #electrical #electricalfault #faultfinding #electricalfaultfinding #fridays #accidentshappen

21.01.2022 Our first Solar job!!!! Welcome to Darby Sexton, our first employee, who has been working his but off to get trained up to speed in solar roof work. So far he's leading the charge for employee of the month. Our first job was not without its difficulties but we fumbled our way through it and the system passed inspection a few days later. It's going to be a busy summer for Capacity Electrical. #solar #solarpanels #electrical #firstinstall #welcomeaboard #newemployee #vicsolar

20.01.2022 Back into the solar game this month. The boys are happy to be back after a bit of a COVID holiday. Snuck in a couple of action shots for that "natural" look.

20.01.2022 Suspended outdoor heating making those winter bbq's a more comfortable and enjoyable evening. #electrical #outdoorliving #heating #bbq #alfresco #alfrescodining #alfrescoheating

20.01.2022 Before and afters of a house renovation in Melbourne. What was supposed to just be a Downlights upgrade, the customer called us back numerous times after being messed around by their builder. Capacity Electrical prides ourselves on being honest, reliable and open to variations and alterations as needed. In the end we were able to relieve some stress from the customer and finish off a great looking upgrade. #renovations #leddownlights #lightingupgrade #voltexelectrical #proudofvoltex #homelighting #customerservice #electrical @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

19.01.2022 Girls do it best! Tough day in the heat, white tin roof reflecting the bright sun up into our faces = sunnies on and plenty of sunscreen! 18x Longi 370W solar panels with a Delta H5A_222 inverter. Landscape mixed with portrait just to fit it all in. ... The ladies showed the boys how it's done today. #solarpanels #solarsystem #solarenergy #solar #advancedenergymanagement #girlpower

19.01.2022 Watch our DDIY tutorial on safely changing a powerpoint in your home. #DDIYelectrical

19.01.2022 A tough job, in frustrating weather, two story, terracotta tile. At least the inclement weather provided a picturesque finish for the day. Our last install here in Melbourne for 6 weeks, or until our governing bodies give us the all clear. In an industry where we are at a different house every day, its time for us to do our part. Stay home, stay safe, stop the spread. We will still be available for emergency callouts ONLY.

19.01.2022 36x 350W Longi solar panels with a Fronius SYMO 10kW inverter. The Ohea st bakery in Coburg, we installed 10kW earlier in the year, this week we added another 10kW with this array. Just 10kW more to go in the new year. #solar #solarpanels #longisolar #fronius #froniusfriday

18.01.2022 Our customer wanted this installed on a 2 story ceiling above the front door entrance. Challenge accepted and completed. #sparkylife #chandelier #modernart #tooeasy

18.01.2022 Lest We Forget At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. ... The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their war dead. In 1997, Governor-General Sir William Deane issued a proclamation formally declaring 11 November to be Remembrance Day, urging all Australians to observe one minute's silence at 11 am on 11 November each year to remember those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts. * With thanks to the Australian War Memorial

17.01.2022 We've had a major update.... Our brand-spanking, new Capacity Electrical website is now live. Check it out and let us know what you think!... https://capacityelectrical.com.au/

17.01.2022 Chandelier above the staircase. We installed a winch in the ceiling space for this gorgeous light fitting, allowing for it to be lowered and raised with ease. Not only does this save the customer scaffolding costs it also allows for easy access in the future for cleaning or replacing light globes. #electrical #electricalcontractor #chandelier #lighting #homeimprovement @ Greenvale, Victoria, Australia

16.01.2022 Bushfire smoke in Melbourne today. We worked yesterday, with dust masks in, and felt the effects by the end of the day. Burning lungs, coughing and a bit of dizziness. Have to pull the pin on today's job, the news may be reporting it as "Not as bad" but I can definitely say it is worse than yesterday. Stay in doors, stay safe, stay healthy

16.01.2022 Beautiful day for harvesting some clean energy. We are full swing into solar installations this year, welcoming our new installer Jimmy Crane to the team with Darby Sexton This job was postponed due to high winds on Wednesday afternoon, back today to screw down the panels and commission for use. #solarpanels #solar #safety #safetyfirst #electrical #cleanenergy #fronius #froniusinverter

15.01.2022 Back into the swing of things. Melbourne restrictions have finally opened up after 8 weeks of lockdown. A nice little 6.6kW system with Seraphim 330W panels and a Growatt 5kW inverter. Its good to be back at work.

15.01.2022 29 Trina Honey 370W solar panels with a Fronius Primo 8.2-1 inverter for @pristinesolar Export limited to 5kW to keep the distributors happy. Terracotta tiles are hard work, luckily we had an awesome customer who offered us cold drinks and a nice bottle of red when we finished the job. #solar #pristinesolar #funwithadrone #trinahoney #fronius #froniussolar #froniusfriday

15.01.2022 Today's office. Thankfully well timed with the cool change. Still sweaty though. #sparkylife #sweaty

14.01.2022 Upgrading this cabinet making factory from old fluros to Voltex highbays. The boys were quite happy they could finally see what they're doing now. #electrical #lighting #bedfordscabinets #voltexelectrical #highbays #proudofvoltex

13.01.2022 The before and after. 5kW of solar panels split over 3x 2kW inverters with a 2kW battery to 20kW of solar panels with 3x 5kW inverters and 4.8kW battery. Customer thought the old system was pretty neat when we first got there and wondered why I gave him a funny look when he said it.

13.01.2022 This board was a mess, with only one RCD to protect every circuit resulting in the entire house and owners business office shutting down when it tripped. We upgraded the board to individual RCBO's for each circuit, making things alot safer, cleaner and now in the even of a fault, only the circuit with the fault will trip, while the rest of the house and office remains energised

13.01.2022 Palm trees for days!! 6.6kW in Melbourne on a gorgeous 20 degree day. Welcome back summer.

13.01.2022 Our first commercial job. 33kW worth of solar panels all run through a Fronius Eco 27 inverter. Had a little play with the drone and knocked up this little amateur video

12.01.2022 How good do these look??? Upgraded this inner city appartment's courtyard garden from their old bollard lights, that the garden was starting to claim, to these modern looking LED's. Wired into a timer at the switchboard, these babies work autonomously, switching on & off at what ever time of day/ night you choose. #electrical #lights #lighting #gardenlights #bollardlights #landscaping #beforeandafter

11.01.2022 Upgrading, freeing up space and getting rid of those bulky transformers. These Voltex power outlets with 2x 2.1A USB Outlets are a fantastic addition for your home. #proudofvoltex #electrical #phonecharger #electricalupgrades

10.01.2022 Turning full circle. 9 years ago, beginning with a conversation about work in the footy changeroom showers, I began my road to becoming an electrician with some Labour work for Reece Electrical. First day on the job we did 3x 1.5kW systems, and I was knackered. 3 and a half years of solar installs followed before moving on to other opportunities. Now, over the next 2 weekends I'll be completing the solar design and installation course. Exciting times ahead. #electricaltraining #solar #reeceelectrical #renewableenergy

10.01.2022 Done and done for 2020. What an insane year it's been. We've undergone a lot of changes and restructure in 12 months. Sole Trader to Pty Ltd, 4 new staff members, Australian Solar Retailer accreditation, and a brand new website just recently launched. We have grown so much in a year that has realistically only seen us on the tools for less than 6 months.... We will be back bigger, better and ready to go in 2021. cheers to the 2020 survivors and the 2021 thrivers!!

09.01.2022 A new shed with granny flat needed a whole new power supply and switchboard. The Voltex gear makes everything nice and neat. #proudofvoltex #switchboard #electrical #suboard #voltex #voltexelectrical

09.01.2022 Today's apprentices. Another 6.6kw solar system on this dog breeders house. Had to keep one eye on my tools to make sure they didn't get chewed or peed on. Was made up for with cuteness though

09.01.2022 Small domestic switchboard upgrade. From old single use fuses with no RCD protection to full RCBO protection on every circuit. #voltexelectrical #proudofvoltex #electrical #switchboardupgrade

08.01.2022 The race that stops a nation didn't stop us on Tuesday. The Big Boss even got up on the roof to show the young pup just how it's done. #solar #solarvictoria #advancedenergymanagement #whoneedsastringline #eyeballit #straightlines #workingmelbournecup

08.01.2022 Long day on the shovel today. New meter box, new consumer mains and now I need a new back #electrical #undergroundmains #trenching #shovel #hardwork

07.01.2022 Downlights upgrade from old halogen globes to new 9.5W tri colour LED voltex downlights with a new voltex dimmer. Dimmed vs full brightness. #voltex #proudofvoltex #downlights #electrical

07.01.2022 Here's a shout-out to all Electricians for fixing what other people break!

06.01.2022 Talk to your electrician about safety switches - one may not be enough to keep your family safe. Get safety switches installed on all circuits. Remember to test your safety switch using the test button every three months. http://ow.ly/udDH50vNsQX

05.01.2022 Another board upgrade just in time for Xmas. With the new regulations becoming mandatory in 2019 all subcircuits need to be RCD protected when making any alterations or additions.

05.01.2022 Some new staircase lighting on a renovation project we've been working on for the past few months. LED strip lighting custom made to length from Beacon lighting. #lighting #beaconlighting #electrical #renovations #staircase

04.01.2022 It's a downlight day today. All aligned and cut to perfection using our multi-line laser.

04.01.2022 Nothing beats good old fashion hospitality from your customer. Tea and chocolates for the win

03.01.2022 Tired of the endless rotation of plugs into your PowerPoint?? Clear out those bulky phone chargers and give one of these Voltex 2.1A USB Outlets a try. With price starting from $150 for supply and install, you'll wonder why you didn't upgrade sooner.

01.01.2022 Why sometimes the cheap option is not necessarily the best option. Here's an example of what the bottom dollar might get you compared to the finishing touches we like to put on our final product. This conduit was unavoidable and faced out onto the street, making it a massive eyesore for the property. A little bit of TLC on our behalf and now you wouldn't even know it was there unless it was pointed out to you. #electrical #electricalcontractor #qualityelectricalwork #anotherhappycustomer @ Greenvale, Victoria, Australia

01.01.2022 Today's apprentice taking his lunch break. #nature #kangaroo #bigboy #muscles

01.01.2022 Supervising is hard work. Apprentice's first wall mount bracket for a TV. Its all a learning experience!
