FAQ
Switchboard questions
My safety switch keeps tripping. What should I do?
Unplug everything on that circuit and reset it once. If it trips again or smells of burning, leave it off and call us.
Will the power be off?
For part of the job. We'll plan around fridges and medical equipment.
Can you check my board before I sell or lease?
Yes, with a written summary of what's there and what needs doing.
Dan was very organised and easy to deal with. He fronted up on time … cleaned up the area and checked back that we were happy with the outcome. We will definitely use him again.
