Electrician in Oak Flats

The full details for Oak Flats

Oak Flats has a settled, established feel. Big trees, the lake foreshore along its northern edge, a train station, local shops and streets of family homes that have been lived in, extended and improved over several decades. Most houses date from the 1960s onwards, with brick and brick veneer the norm and plenty of newer infill homes mixed in.

Flowstate Electrical Co is based a short drive away in Warilla, and Oak Flats is one of the suburbs we spend a lot of time in.

Typical Oak Flats electrical work

A house that has been extended two or three times often ends up with wiring to match. New rooms get tacked onto old circuits, kitchens get bigger appliances, and the switchboard quietly runs out of room. These are the jobs we see most:

• **Switchboard upgrades.** Replacing old fuses or crowded boards with a modern switchboard, circuit breakers and safety switches on every circuit.
• **More power points.** Adding double and USB power points in kitchens, bedrooms and home offices so you are not relying on power boards.
• **Appliances.** Appliance installation for new ovens, cooktops and range hoods, including checking the circuit can handle the load.
• **Smoke alarms.** Upgrading to hard wired, interconnected smoke alarms so an alarm in one room sounds in every room.

Kitchen and laundry upgrades

Oak Flats families do a lot of kitchen renovations, and they are a good example of why it pays to involve your electrician early. A new induction cooktop may need its own dedicated circuit. An island bench might need power points built in. Pendant lights need to be positioned once the bench is locked in, not after. We are happy to work alongside your kitchen company or builder, and we also do overflow work for other tradies.

Faults and tripping

If your safety switch trips and will not reset, the cause is usually a faulty appliance, water getting into an outdoor fitting or damaged wiring somewhere on that circuit. Unplugging everything and resetting is a sensible first step. If it resets with everything unplugged, plug appliances back in one at a time and note which one sets it off. If it still trips with nothing connected, the fault is in the wiring, so call us. We are open 24 hours for emergency electrical work and fault finding.
