Electrician in Doyalson, NSW
Electrical work in Doyalson, NSW
Doyalson is a village on the Central Coast, and the Pacific Highway runs through it. Its neighbours are Wyee, Doyalson North, Bushells Ridge, Colongra, Wallarah, Blue Haven and San Remo. The Doyalson Link Road was built in the 1980s to join the village to the M1 Motorway at Bushells Ridge. When you call, the street and house number tell us which part of the village the job is in.
Before we book a visit in Doyalson, we ask where the switchboard is, whether anything blocks the meter, and who holds the key or gate code. If the home has a shed, a workshop or a granny flat at the back, tell us, because that building can have its own supply that we need to check. Tell us where we can park on the day. If the owner or tenant is away, tell us who will let us in.
Most homes in Doyalson are separate houses rather than flats or townhouses. Wiring age varies from house to house, so we do not judge it by the look of a street. A shed on the same lot may run off the house board, so we trace its cables before we finish. The check is the switchboard, the earthing and the circuits in the home we are called to.
What we do here most
Jobs we plan for in Doyalson homes
Most of Doyalson's homes are separate houses, so each job below starts at the switchboard of one home. The four jobs run from a shed with its own circuit to a power cut that affects only one house.
residential electrical
A back shed needs its own power
A shed or workshop at the back of a Doyalson lot needs power, and the owner often wants it fed from the house. We run a cable from the switchboard, check that the circuit has the right protection, and fit a switch and power point at the shed. If the board has no room for another circuit, we tell you that before any work starts.
electric vehicle charger installation
A charger wired from the house board
A car charger needs its own circuit from the switchboard, so the first check is whether the board has a spare way and room for a breaker. If the charging point is at the far end of the block, we run the cable along the house and size the cable and breaker for the length of the run. Once it is in, we test that the protection trips and resets, and show you where to turn it off.
24/7 emergency electrical
Power off at home, street lights still on
If the street lights are on and the power is out at one Doyalson house, the fault is most likely inside the home. Check the RCD and the breakers first, and do not keep resetting one that trips straight away. We answer the phone at any hour, every day, so you can call while you are still at the switchboard and tell us which switch tripped.
smoke detector testing and replacement
Testing every alarm in a family home
We test each smoke alarm in the house, check the age printed on the back, and replace any alarm that fails its test or has reached the end of its life. A shed or granny flat on the same lot is worth mentioning on the first call, so we know every building that needs checking. Once the new alarms are in, we press each test button so you can hear it sound.
If it is urgent
If the power drops in a Doyalson home after hours
- 1Step 1: With your hands dry, press the test button on the RCD, the switch marked T. If the power to the home goes off, the RCD is working. If the power is already off, switch the RCD fully on once, and if it trips again straight away, leave it off and call us.
- 2Step 2: Do not open the inner cover of the switchboard, touch the meter or the wiring, or keep switching a tripped RCD back on. Do not put a larger fuse or breaker in place of a smaller one.
- 3Step 3: When you call, give us the house number and street, which switch tripped (the RCD or a numbered breaker), whether the street lights are on, and whether there is a shed or granny flat on the same lot.
