25.01.2022 Spring is here. Thank heavens! Nows the time to start getting your outdoor space summer-ready. If youre lucky enough to have a pool, youll surely have family and friends popping around to cool off as the weather gets warmer. Make the experience more magical with awesome outdoor lighting like we installed around this pool and pergola!

25.01.2022 Good retail lighting is essential to attracting customers, keeping them in store, and highlighting specific products. We recommend track lighting which can be redirected according to the visual merchandising, as well as feature lighting to add ambiance and character, particularly in the shop window. Check out our electrical projects for inspiration or contact us directly for a free consultation. https://www.theelectriccrew.com.au/electrical-projects/

23.01.2022 We like: These feature pendants at our new favourite restaurant @ricepaprscrs. We love the combo of weathered industrial steel with delicate filament bulbs. Just a hint: try the sticky pork belly and bbq lamb ribs (and the Thai ceviche). #lighting #decor #electrician #brunswickstreet #industrialdesign #design #interiordesign

23.01.2022 Is your outdoor area ready to keep guests comfortable this Easter weekend? This gorgeous Melbourne home sure is! Thanks to The Electric Crew for sharing this photo after their install of our Haiku fan.

22.01.2022 The Electric Crew collaborated with the owners of this beautiful Hawthorn home to improve both the function and ambience of the lighting. The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in the home and these strip LEDS create a washed light effect that illuminates whilst remaining soft.

20.01.2022 Japanese Maples are beautiful trees, and when lit up at night they are truly magical. Were obsessed with Festoon lights at the moment and love how they create the perfect balance of functional and ambient light.

19.01.2022 Save money by switching to LED lights around your home! Last night The Checkout showed that Victoria has the highest retail energy charges in the world! But you can cut your electricity costs by switching to energy-efficient LED lighting. They have an amazing lifespan too so youll hardly ever have to change bulbs! Give us a call to chat about making the change to LED lighting.

18.01.2022 Winter need not turn you all indoors! The Electric Crew recently installed heat panels in this East Brighton garden pergola, along with a Big Ass fan for the warmer months, kitchen appliances, wireless audio visual, and garden and pool lighting. We automated everything so the owner can control it all from their phone! Read more at our website, link in bio.

18.01.2022 Heres an article from Domain, written by The Block judge Darren Palmer (yes, him again). It gives some real, tangible and very cool examples of what home automation can do for you day-to-day. Definitely worth a quick read if you havent quite got your head around the point of smart home technology.

17.01.2022 Our Melbourne electricians installed the landscape garden lighting of this beautiful property in Mount Macedon. The owner made the recent tree change out to Macedon and wanted to enjoy the beautiful gardens and bush even after sunset. Being surrounded by nature means the darkness really sets in so we were called to come and creatively light up the garden. We believe that ambiance is important and sets the mood for outdoor entertaining. This is best achieved by using lighting ...creatively and indirectly, rather than using harsh direct light. We directed copper spike lights upwards through the branches of trees and shrubs to create awesome shadows, whilst also casting a glow on surrounding pathways. Outdoor festoon lights were installed over the outdoor fire pit and table setting, as well as wrapped around nearby trees. All of the outdoor lights that we installed were connected to a lighting automation system so that the owner can set automated schedules for particular times of day as well as control them from his mobile phone.

17.01.2022 How to make the biggest difference to your bathroom with the least effort? Improve the Lighting! Pendant lights enhance the look and feel of a bathroom tenfold. You will have daily ambience morning and night - no candles necessary.

If you dont have a fire pit like this lucky owner has, we can advise you on different outdoor heating options to keep you toasty while you sip on your whiskey!

11.01.2022 Mary Featherstone is an iconic Australian designer and we are in love with her new renovation. We are especially excited that her son developed a custom climate control system for the space. The Design Files chatted to Mary and her son, Julian, and described it as an intuitive system that forecasts the weather and then prepares the building for various conditions, controlling the blinds, mechanical ventilation, and reverse cycle heating / cooling. The concept is of an active building rather than a passive one a different way of approaching an energy efficiency Julian says. Like Julians prototype climate control system, we also install home automation systems that can control your lighting, interior climate, home security and more. We made a video about it! https://www.theelectriccrew.com.au//home-automation-smart/

11.01.2022 With Christmas only 67 days away, we all know the festive spirit can start now!

We can chat to you about how Environexus home automation can be used in localised parts of your home for purposes such as this.

Like many, we are a small family business and we thank each and every client, new and repeat, who support us. ...

We hope to hear from you soon. Tom, Rodney and Cooper (and Simone, little Charlotte and really little Zephie behind the scenes)

04.01.2022 If, like many people, you have watched The Block in the last couple of years, youll know that smart home technology is trending. The Block judge Darren Palmer has also kitted out his own Bondi home with new lighting, switches and Nero Home Automation and thinks it has added real value to his home. "The Nero system is cool because you can control each and every single light in your house at the press of a beautiful little button. And tie it with scenes then you can group things together so that it interacts with you the way you want your house to interact." Contact us if you want to chat about how to start integrating smart home automation into your home too! And keep an eye out for The Block 2018 to see more smart home technology!

04.01.2022 After watching the very moving episode of Australian Story last Monday, we learned of Matt Golinski overcoming the unimaginable loss of his family in a house fire. It was an incredible story of devastation, strength and hope. Go and watch the episode on abc iview to be inspired by Matts strength and how he rebuilt his life. As a timely reminder, please check your smoke alarms. While Matt had working smoke alarms, they simply did not work when needed the most. Please use the test button on your smoke alarms to check they are working, get them checked by an electrician if youre not sure and replace them every 10 years.

Congratulations to Georgia and the crew at The Garden Co and Swimple for this massive feat. It is a superb example of garden and pool design creativity and craftsmanship! We created a smart garden in which the lights were able to be fully controlled on a schedule and remotely from a smart device using Environexus
