Found this one today on a routine job.
The main conductor had never been tightened into the breaker terminal. It had just been sitting in there, loose, for who knows how long. Every time the house drew decent load it was arcing and heating up. You can see what that did: burnt insulation, melted cable, copper gone green, and scorching on the breaker next to it.
This board looked fine from the outside. The owners had no idea. It's the sort of thing that ends with a house fire and nobody ever knowing why.
I'm not having a go at anyone. Good sparkies get rushed, get interrupted, and miss things on a long day. That's exactly why a second set of eyes is worth it. In every trade, the work that gets checked is the work you can trust. Your switchboard shouldn't be any different, even if you're confident in whoever did it.
If your board's been worked on, you've had solar or a battery put in, or it's just been a long time since anyone looked, get it checked. It's a quick job and it's cheap peace of mind.
Things to watch for:
A burning or hot plastic smell near the board
Breakers that feel warm
Lights flickering when big appliances kick in
Any discolouring or marks around the board
Sunshine Coast locals, happy to be that second set of eyes. Flick me a message.

Nuisance smoke alarms driving you crazy? 🕷️💨

GOOD WORK ISN’T ALWAYS SEEN — IT’S BUILT INTO THE GROUND.

Not all electrical work is about running cables through walls and roofs. Underground work needs to be done properly, because what you can’t see can still be dangerous.
We take pride in doing the job right — safely, properly and built to last.

Last night at my place my alarms started going crazy! I pulled the offending alarm down and had a look, FULL of spider webs. Theyre these little things on our ceilings that we dont really notice but are the most important piece of equipment in our houses!

30 seconds could make a difference.

Have you tested your safety switch lately? A quick test every 3 months helps make sure your RCD is working when you need it.

Stay safe, and if it doesn’t trip — get it checked by a licensed electrician.

Is your switchboard safe?
A quick switchboard inspection can pick up issues before they become a bigger problem.

Hi all.
Winter's here, and so is the fire risk. Fire and Rescue reports that in nearly half of home fires attended last winter, there was no working smoke alarm. Portable heaters are a common cause.
Give me a call and I'll come check your place is up to spec and ready to protect your family.

Have you bought an EV to cut down on these ridiculous fuel prices at the moment.
Bought a wall charger to quickly charge at home? We can help out installing it. Give us a call to find out more. 👍
