Switchboard Upgrades

Switchboard upgrades, repairs and replacements across Elsternwick. The board is the control panel for the whole installation: it distributes the supply and it is where the protective devices live, so its condition sets a limit on everything downstream of it.

When power enters from outside the home, it flows directly into the switchboard, which then takes responsibility for sending the correct amount of electricity through to the right circuits in and around your property, making sure everything is able to work the way it’s meant to. Some properties have an old fuse board or circuit breaker switch board, which are missing the appropriate safety switches.

In turn, this can lead to short circuits, an intermittent or reduced power supply, and even total power outages. A malfunctioning switchboard also poses a significant safety risk. For that reason, we will thoroughly evaluate your switchboard’s performance, and make sure we offer a solution to ensure your house always benefits from a safe and reliable power supply.

Rewiring

While older homes have plenty of advantages, including lots of character and period features, they can also come with a few downsides. One such downside is the impact of many years of wear and tear, that can mean your electrics underperform or even pose a serious safety hazard.

If you own an older property, you’ll need to be vigilant about checking the situation with your cabling every now and again, so that any outdated elements or damage can be rectified. The team at Carda Electrics is on-hand to perform a thorough evaluation of the electrics in your home, paying close attention to all wires, before identifying what needs replacing and what has service life left in it.

LED Upgrades

From halogen downlights to outdated pendant fittings, pretty much any light fitting can be upgraded to incorporate LEDs. This brings a wealth of advantages, including being more efficient and affordable to run than alternatives, as well as having a reduced environmental impact. They also run far cooler, which matters in a ceiling space packed with insulation.

Talk to Carda Electrics today, and we’ll discuss your options for making sure we select and install your LEDs in a style that suits your space and taste.

Design and Installation

From new builds to renovations to general electrical work, and whether you want to add a few extra power points or install a new oven or light fitting, Carda Electrics will work out what the job actually needs and quote it in writing before anyone starts.

If you’re looking for a hassle-free approach to overseeing the ongoing electrical needs of your commercial space, look no further than Carda Electrics. We’ll pull out all the stops to make sure your electrics become one less thing to worry about, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business. What’s more, we understand that during business hours is not always the ideal time for electrical work to happen. That’s why we offer an out-of-hours and weekend service, to keep disruption in your workspace to an absolute minimum.

Body Corporates & Property Managers

Body corporates and property managers need two things from an electrician: attendance when a resident reports a fault, and paperwork afterwards. We cover common-area and stairwell lighting, car park circuits, smoke alarm compliance, switchboard maintenance and testing, and every visit produces a written record of what was found and what was done. That is what a committee can file and what a manager can hand to an incoming tenant.

Test & Tag

Every commercial enterprise that employs staff is required to undergo a process of testing and tagging their electrical appliances. This will ensure compliance with Victorian OH&S requirements, guarantee the environment is safe for everybody who operates within it, and give business owners the opportunity to clearly demonstrate they are taking their duty of care seriously.

Exit & Emergency Lighting

We’ve all seen exit and emergency lighting in commercial spaces, but have we ever really stopped to consider the importance? These lights serve to provide visibility to help guide people from a building should an emergency situation eventuate.

Official safety regulations dictate all commercial buildings should install adequate exit and emergency lighting, and make sure it is tested at least twice each year. With that in mind, Carda Electrics has developed a range of services in this area, including logbook tests, repairs, maintenance and new installations.
