25.01.2022 LED lighting on the deck and fully dimmable down to nothing. Dimming LEDs is tricky, and the right lights and cable must be used in a shallow, insulated roof. These LEDs are individually switched so the "just right" atmosphere can be achieved. There'll be some good nights on this deck, cheers! Ross

17.01.2022 Plug Boards Are they Safe? I hear people talk about the dangers of plug-boards, but really, aren’t they great little things? Common sense tells us all that they are not ideal, but how else do we plug in the ten or so items behind the TV. We could have five double power points installed, but then when we change the lounge around, they will be in the wrong place, and we’d be left with a wall looking like the wall of an intensive care unit. And anyway, I’m a sparky, and I us...e a plug board. On the technical side, there is only so much power that can be drawn from a power point on the wall before the circuit breaker trips at the switchboard. So, should we be concerned at all, or are there a few things to keep an eye on? The answer is Yes. Here are a few tips that will help keep your home safe: * Use good quality plug boards with overload protection (usually a button on the end). * Plug each plug board into its own power point, never piggy-back into each other. * Don’t use in conjunction with double adaptors. * If you need additional plug boards, have another power point installed. * Don’t let your power boards fill with dust over the years. * keep power boards clean and inspect them regularly. * If you have any concerns, give me a call. This customer has replaced the old plug boards in the photo which were piggy-backed (bad). I installed 2 double power points for him, so now up to 4 plug boards can be used. See more

14.01.2022 While visiting some friends in western Qld, I was asked by the owner of a caravan park to replace an old damaged main switchboard and to install more caravan power-heads around the park. The old board was overcrowded, the door couldn’t be shut, and it was basically a safety and fire hazard. I also wired a storage shed for the local pub. He could throw a Kiss Concert in the shed now hahaha!

11.01.2022 QLD INTRODUCES PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE ALARM LEGISLATION Posted on : Thursday, 1 September 2016 Queensland homes will be required to be fitted with photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms in all bedrooms, as well as hallways as part of legislation passed in parliament this week.... All houses being built or significantly renovated will need to comply with the smoke alarm legislation upon completion after January 1, 2017. All houses leased or sold will need to meet compliance after five years and all owner-occupied private dwellings will need to comply with the legislation within 10 years. Any smoke alarm being replaced after January 1, 2017 must be a photoelectric alarm.

07.01.2022 Don’t Risk House Fire: If you live in an older home, or any home for that matter, take a few minutes to have a look at your switchboard. You really should know where it is and how to turn off the power in an emergency. When you get there, if your switchboard looks like the one in this picture, you might like to give me a call. In fact, give any licensed electrical contractor a call. Let’s take a closer look... Both main switches are showing signs of overheating. The one on the right is a replacement for the original that has already burnt out, and now, it’s on the way (and sorry, I just can’t stand crooked switches). When switchboards of this vintage were made, household electrics included lighting, a fridge, a big old radio, hot water and a power point for an iron - that’s it. That’s right, before television, let alone air-conditioning. If you’ll indulge me for a minute on the technical side, the fine print on the white switch says it is rated at a maximum of 36 amps, yet it is supplying 53 amps to the 3 fuses above it. That’s why it’s overheating. The bitter-sweet news is that when the switch does start arcing and sparking, it may not start a fire, because it’s mounted on a deteriorating asbestos panel. Fortunately, this home owner did call me he is replacing the lot.

06.01.2022 Photo from an early morning call out to an alarming and sparking smoke detector. After finding the problem (gecko centre of photo), the burnt out detector was replaced with a new, wired-in photoelectric smoke alarm. Remember - No job too small.
