Homeowner in the local area had breakers tripping every time the kettle and toaster ran together. We pulled the old board, installed a modern enclosure with individual RCBOs on every circuit and re-terminated the tails.
Outcome
New compliant board, CCEW issued, zero tripping since.
Approx. 5.7 hours on site
A terrace in the local area had a warped, weather-damaged meter box on the front facade. We coordinated the Ausgrid outage, relocated the meter, upgraded the board and weatherproofed the new enclosure.

Owner in the local area wanted 28 halogens replaced with dimmable LEDs before summer. We spec'd matched trailing-edge dimmers, swapped fittings room-by-room and left clean plaster cut-outs.
Outcome

New Tesla owner in the local area needed a home charger. We ran a dedicated 32 A RCBO circuit from the switchboard, mounted the Wall Connector in the garage and configured load balancing so the main never trips.
Outcome
7 kW home charging, CCEW issued, ~40 km range per hour.
Approx. 4.3 hours on site
Homeowner in the local area with a 6.6 kW rooftop array wanted to charge only from excess solar. We wired a Zappi charger, added the CT clamp on the mains, and configured Eco+ mode so the car sips only spare PV.
Outcome
Free daytime charging from surplus solar, app-managed schedules.
Approx. 5 hours on site
Family in the local area needed a quiet fan in the main bedroom. We removed the existing rose, installed a DC fan on a rated bracket and wired a dedicated wall controller — no pull-cord dangling.
Outcome
DC fan installed, 6-speed wall control, near-silent running.
Approx. 1.5 hours on site
Alfresco area in the local area needed an outdoor-rated fan over the dining table. We ran a new outlet from a nearby circuit, sealed the ceiling penetration and installed an IP-rated fan with remote.

Investment property in the local area needed compliant interconnected alarms across three levels. We replaced ageing 9 V units with hard-wired 10-year lithium alarms interconnected via wireless mesh.
Outcome
AS 3786-compliant coverage, one alarm triggers all, ready for lease.

Approx. 2.3 hours on site
House in the local area was getting cold showers after 8 am. We isolated the off-peak circuit, replaced the failed contactor in the meter box and confirmed the element and thermostat were healthy.
Outcome
Off-peak restored, hot water back on schedule, meter re-sealed.
Approx. 1.7 hours on site
Owner in the local area replaced a failed 315 L storage tank with a Reclaim heat-pump. We ran the new dedicated circuit, decommissioned the off-peak feed and coordinated the plumber for changeover.
Outcome
Heat-pump wired, CCEW issued, up to 75% less power for hot water.
Approx. 3.5 hours on site
Living room in the local area was re-arranged and the TV needed to move to the opposite wall. We chased a new outlet into the plaster, ran RG6 quad-shield to the roof antenna and installed a wall-plate.
Outcome
Clean single-outlet install, no visible cabling, full HD/UHF signal.
Approx. 1.8 hours on site
Home office in the local area needed hard-wired data for two desks. We ran Cat6 from the study back to the modem, terminated on RJ45 wall plates and tested to 1 Gbps.
