Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Stephen S · Switchboard

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!

James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

LOCAL CONDITIONS

Mains upgrades in Canterbury, in practice

Many Canterbury owners take care to keep the Victorian or Edwardian look of their houses and gardens, and a mains upgrade has to respect that. The meter box, the point of attachment and any new conduit are visible from the street on most period homes. Parts of the suburb are in heritage overlay precincts, which include the Rochester Road Precinct (HO703) and the Griffin Estate and Environs Precinct (HO700), so we plan the route of new consumer mains and the meter position around the facade and suggest a check with Boroondara where the outside appearance changes.

Inside those period walls, the supply was often designed for lighting and a few power points. Electric heating, an induction cooktop and an EV charger can be more than the original mains and main switch were sized to carry. CitiPower is the distributor across Canterbury, so the request for a heavier supply or three-phase goes to CitiPower, which also replaces the meter. With 47.8% of homes owned outright at the 2021 Census, most of these jobs are arranged directly with the owner.
