Electrician in Wyong, NSW
Where we work in Wyong, NSW 2259
Wyong is a town on the Central Coast, north-west of The Entrance. Its compact town centre holds the Central Coast Council chambers, the Village Central Wyong shopping centre, a police station and a local court, and Wyong railway station is within walking distance of it. We are based in Kanwal, and we plan each visit from the address you give us. Our work happens on the property itself, at the switchboard, the meter box and the circuits that run out from them, whether that is a shop, an office or a home.
Before you book, ask the owner, the agent or the building manager who holds the key. Shops and offices in the town centre may keep the switchboard in a back room or a locked cupboard, so tell us where it is and when the premises can be reached. If the home is social housing, the housing provider holds the key and approves the work, and some of Wyong's dwellings are social housing. In a unit block, the meter room is often locked, and the strata manager decides who may open it. Tell us about any back door or loading area, and where the van can park.
Wyong was established in 1888, and buildings in the town centre date back over a century. Chapmans Store opened in 1901 on the corner of Alison Road and Hely Street, and St Cecilia's Church was built in 1908, the oldest church in Wyong and still in use. We do not know the build dates of most of Wyong's homes, so we check each switchboard rather than assume its age. Older buildings were wired long before modern safety switches were standard, so an old shop or house from that era needs its whole circuit checked, not just the board.
What we do here most
Jobs in Wyong shops, offices and homes
Wyong has a town centre with shops, offices and older buildings, and some of its dwellings are social housing. These four jobs cover that mix, from a shop that loses power after closing to a test and tag for a small office.
24/7 emergency electrical
Shop power fails after closing in town
A shop in the town centre can lose power after closing, and a fridge or cold room starts to warm with nobody there. We answer the phone at any hour, every day, so the owner can call the same night. At the switchboard we check the safety switch first, then switch off each circuit in turn to find the one at fault. We fix that circuit and test it before power goes back to the cold room.
home and building rewiring
Rewiring an early 1900s shop front and back room
An old building from the early 1900s may have wiring from before safety switches were common, and a switchboard that cannot take today's load. We open the walls in stages, run new cable where the old wiring is unsafe and fit safety switches to the new circuits. We plan the work room by room, starting with the room that matters most to the owner.
test and tagging
Tagging leads and power boards in a small office
A small office or training room has leads, power boards, printers and kettles that are moved every day and get knocked. We test and tag each item, record the result and mark it so staff can see it has been checked. Any item that fails is taken out of use, then repaired or replaced.
smoke detector testing and replacement
Smoke alarms checked before a new tenant moves in
A social housing home may need every smoke alarm checked before a new tenant moves in, and an alarm that has been removed or disabled needs replacing. We test each alarm, replace any that fail and record which ones were changed. Tell us how many alarms the home has and whether they are wired in or battery powered, so we bring the right parts.
If it is urgent
If the power drops in a Wyong shop or home after hours
- 1Step 1: look at the switchboard from the front, without opening it, and check whether a safety switch (RCD) or a breaker has dropped. Switch a dropped one up once. If it drops again straight away, leave it off, and check whether the premises next door still have power.
- 2Step 2: do not open the switchboard or the meter box, do not keep resetting a switch that drops, and do not run a fridge, a cold room or a heater from a power board while the fault is unknown.
- 3Step 3: when you call, tell us the street, whether the premises is a shop, an office, a house or a unit, whether the premises next door have power, which switch dropped, and whether the building has a shared meter room.
