FAQs
What types of electrical infrastructure services do you provide in Newcomb?
We offer a complete range of services to keep domestic, commercial, and light-industrial premises powered safely and efficiently. These services include new mains installations, switchboard upgrades, three-phase power upgrades, cable tray and conduit systems, underground and overhead reticulation, emergency and exit-lighting circuits, surge-protection systems, power-factor-correction units, and ongoing preventative maintenance programs.
How do you ensure safety and compliance with Australian Standards?
All work is completed by A-grade electricians who hold current Energy Safe Victoria licences. We design and install to AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Wiring Rules) and any applicable industry-specific standards. Job sites are audited with lock-out/tag-out, SWMS, and risk assessments. On completion you receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) and detailed test results for insulation resistance, RCD trip times, and earth-fault-loop impedance.
What are the signs that my property needs an electrical infrastructure upgrade?
Common red flags include frequent breaker trips or fuse blowouts, flickering lights, warm switchboard covers, unprotected ceramic fuses, insufficient GPOs, visible cable degradation, and unexplained rises in energy bills. In commercial settings, nuisance tripping of motors or IT equipment, an inability to add new machinery without overloading, and failing RCD test schedules also indicate your infrastructure is at capacity or outdated.
How long does a typical switchboard upgrade or mains rewiring take?
For a single-phase residential switchboard, most upgrades are completed within one working day, including safety testing and reconnection. Three-phase commercial or multi-tenancy boards can take 2–3 days, especially when metering changes are required. Full mains rewiring varies with building size: a small home may take 3–5 days, whereas a large commercial tenancy could require staged works over several weeks to minimise downtime.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer warranties?
Yes. We hold unrestricted Electrical Contractor Licence No. REC-xxxxx and $20 million public liability insurance. All materials are sourced from reputable suppliers and carry manufacturer warranties of 12–25 years depending on the product. Our workmanship is backed by a lifetime labour warranty, giving you peace of mind that any defect related to our installation will be rectified at no charge.
How much will an electrical infrastructure project cost, and how do your estimates work?
Costs vary with scope, accessibility, capacity requirements, and compliance upgrades. For example, a residential switchboard upgrade starts around $1,200–$1,800, while commercial three-phase boards range from $3,000–$8,000. After a free site assessment we provide a written, itemised quote detailing labour, materials, switchgear specifications, and any Energex/AusNet fees. The quoted price is fixed unless you request scope changes, so there are no surprise extras.
