Electrician in Gerroa

The full details for Gerroa

Gerroa is one of the smallest villages on this stretch of coast, and one of the most striking. Houses step down the hillside above Seven Mile Beach, the Crooked River winds out to the sea, and on a clear day you can see all the way down toward Shoalhaven Heads. It is quiet, a little windswept and full of homes built to look at the view.

Many properties here are holiday houses or homes owned by people who split their time between Gerroa and somewhere else. That shapes the kind of electrical work we do.

Keeping a holiday home safe

If your home sits empty for weeks at a time, problems can go unnoticed. A tripped safety switch could mean a defrosted freezer. A failed smoke alarm might not be picked up until the next visit. Simple steps help:

• Replace old smoke alarms with interconnected alarms that meet current NSW requirements
• Check that safety switches protect every circuit and test them regularly
• Install smart doorbells, cameras and app controlled lighting so you can see what is happening when you are away
• Upgrade outdoor lighting with sensor lights for security

For holiday rentals, working smoke alarms and safe electrical fittings matter even more, because guests do not know the house.

Built for the wind and the salt

Gerroa homes cop strong southerly winds and a steady dose of salt air. Outdoor lights, power points and even the meter box can corrode faster than you would expect. Corroded fittings let moisture in, and that often shows up as a safety switch tripping after rain.

When we replace outdoor fittings in Gerroa we choose ones suited to coastal exposure and pay attention to how they are sealed. Our outdoor and security lighting work includes deck lights, wall lights and garden lighting that can handle the weather.

Older homes and renovations

Some Gerroa homes date back to when the village was mainly fibro holiday shacks. When these are renovated or extended, the old wiring and switchboard rarely suit the new house. A switchboard upgrade and new circuits for the kitchen, heating and lighting bring the house up to date. We can work with your builder to make the electrical side run smoothly.

Need help fast

We are open 24 hours for emergency call outs. If you arrive for the weekend and part of the house has no power, call and explain what you are seeing. We will help you work out what is safe to do while we get there.

You talk directly to Kalani, who runs Flowstate Electrical Co. He explains things clearly and does the job right the first time.

We also work in Gerringong next door and further down the road in Berry.
