Electrician Davidson
Switchboards, safety switches, lighting and fault finding, done by licensed local electricians who quote the price before work starts.
Electrician Davidson: faults fixed at any hour
A power point that has gone dead, a safety switch that won’t hold or a light that flickers needs a licensed electrician in Davidson. Our electricians cover the suburb 24 hours a day.
The price is agreed before work starts, and it’s fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
Which electrical faults show up in Davidson homes?
The 2021 Census counted 869 occupied homes in Davidson, and 391 of them are owned outright. Another 406 are owned with a mortgage.
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into circuits. A safety switch is a device that cuts power when current leaks to earth. If one keeps tripping, our electrical fault finding covers tracing the circuit behind it.
A board with old ceramic fuses needs a look before you add a new load. A switchboard repair or upgrade is quoted as a fixed job.
Warning signs at the board
- A safety switch that trips again within minutes of a reset
- Lights that dim when the kettle or oven starts
- A panel that feels warm or smells of burning
- Fuse wire or ceramic fuses where breakers should be
Fans, lights, ovens and chargers in Davidson houses
A ceiling fan needs a firm fixing and a circuit that can carry it. Our ceiling fan installation covers the wiring and the wall switch. Old halogen downlights can go too, and LED lighting upgrades lighten the load on the circuit.
An induction cooktop, a wall oven or an air conditioner draws a lot of power. Have the board checked before you buy. We handle appliance wiring and fitting from the board to the plug.
Press the test button on each safety switch regularly. Do the same for smoke alarms, and swap any that no longer respond.
Emergency electrician Davidson: any hour, day or night
Sparks, a burning smell or a board that won’t stay on can’t wait for daylight. Call 1300 164 206 and we answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The price comes before the work, and evening and weekend rates differ.
Ausgrid says to check whether your neighbours have power. If they do and you don’t, the problem might be inside your home. Our emergency electrician callouts cover that case.
While you wait:
- Look outside and see whether the street lights or neighbours’ lights are on.
- Check the board for a tripped safety switch.
- Unplug whatever was running when the power failed.
- Treat any fallen line as live and keep clear.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, report faults and emergencies to it on 13 13 88, which Ausgrid lists as open 24 hours. Ausgrid says to stay at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, from fallen wires, and to call triple zero in a life threatening situation.
Ausgrid says an Authorised and Accredited Service Provider Level 2 can install, repair or maintain the overhead or underground service lines between a customer installation and Ausgrid’s network. Our Level 2 accreditation number is 5559.
