Electrician in Wyongah, NSW
Electrical work in Wyongah, NSW
Wyongah sits on the Central Coast, and its neighbours are Kanwal, Gorokan, Wadalba and Tuggerawong. The suburb is mostly residential, with a small shopping area and Wyong Hospital close by. Streets in Wyongah include Darri Road, Stanley Street, Coolabah Road, Yennora Avenue, Lynette Close and Cooranga Road. When you call, the street and house number tell us which switchboard and which lot we are planning for.
Before we book a visit in Wyongah, we ask where the switchboard is, whether a gate is locked, and who holds the key or the gate code. Tell us where we can park. If the lot has a granny flat or a second building behind the house, tell us that too, because that building can have its own board or meter that we need to open. Planning applications list a granny flat on Darri Road and a detached secondary dwelling on Stanley Street, so second buildings are part of the picture here. If the owner or tenant is away, tell us who will let us in.
Wyongah is mostly residential, and some of its lots have granny flats or detached secondary dwellings. Wiring age varies from home to home, so we do not judge it by the look of a street. On the day we open the switchboard, check the earthing and the circuits, and for a second building on the same lot we check whether it shares the main board. A fault in one building can cut power to the other when they share a board.
What we do here most
Jobs we plan for in Wyongah homes
Wyongah is mostly homes, and some lots have a second building behind the main house. The four jobs below show what that means on a visit, from a granny flat on a shared board to a power cut that only one house has.
residential electrical
A granny flat sharing the main switchboard
A granny flat or detached room behind the house can take its power from the main home, and the owner wants it to work without a second meter. We open the main switchboard, trace the circuits that run to the granny flat, and check that each one has its own protection. If the board has no room for a new breaker, we tell you that and explain the options before any work starts.
electric vehicle charger installation
A charger in the driveway or garage
A car charger needs its own circuit back to the switchboard, so the first job is to check that the board has a spare way and room for a new breaker. We look at the cable run from the board to the charging point, the earthing and the RCD protection. After the charger is in, we test that it trips and resets properly, and show you where to turn it off.
24/7 emergency electrical
One house dark, the street still lit
When the power is off in one home but the neighbours have light, the fault is usually inside that property. A tripped RCD or breaker is the first thing to check, and a fault on one circuit is a common cause. We answer the phone at any hour, every day, so you can call and tell us which switch tripped while you are standing at the board.
smoke detector testing and replacement
A smoke alarm that chirps every few minutes
A chirping alarm usually means a flat battery or a unit that has reached the end of its life, and the chirp often starts at night. We test each alarm in the home, check the date on the back, and replace any unit that fails its test. Once the new alarms are in, we press the test button on each one so you can hear it sound.
If it is urgent
If the power drops in a Wyongah home after hours
- 1Step 1: With your hands dry, switch the RCD fully on once. It is the switch with a T test button. If the power comes back and holds, the RCD had tripped; if it trips again straight away, leave it off and call us.
- 2Step 2: Do not open the switchboard cover, do not touch the meter or the wiring behind it, and do not keep switching the RCD back on after it trips. Do not replace a fuse or breaker with a larger one.
- 3Step 3: When you call, give us the house number and street, which switch tripped (the RCD or a numbered breaker), whether the neighbours have power, and whether the lot has a granny flat or a second building.
