Electrical faults in Elermore Vale homes and rentals

Elermore Vale sits up on the hills beside Rankin Park and New Lambton Heights. Post-war and 1970s brick and tile, plenty of it now rented out, with the original wiring still doing the work.

A cooktop switching itself on

A Saturday call. The cooktop was turning itself on with nobody near it, so we attended, disconnected it from the power and made the kitchen safe, then quoted the replacement.

After-hours help >

Lights that flash once they warm up

One bedroom downlight flashed after a few minutes and the driver behind it had failed. At the same rental the kitchen lights only worked when the switch was pressed hard, and the culprit was two failing downlights, not the switch.

Fault finding >

Twin sensor light fitted under a house eave

A carport you cannot see into at night

We replaced the existing sensor light with a motion sensor, fitted three flush LED downlights into the eaves above the stairs, the corner and the garage door, and put it all on an on, off and auto switch.

Electrical work in Elermore Vale: common questions

Why does my LED downlight flash after it has been on a few minutes?

It is usually the driver behind the light, not the globe. At one Elermore Vale bedroom the downlight flashed once it warmed up, and a new downlight fixed it.

Can you replace a cooktop in a rental?

Yes. At an Elermore Vale unit we replaced a faulty ceramic cooktop and upgraded the circuit protection to an RCBO, which is a safety switch and circuit breaker in one, while the power was off.

Can a demountable office in the backyard have its own circuit?

Yes, and it should. At an Elermore Vale home we ran a new circuit on its own safety switch from the meter board, trenched and laid underground conduit, then fitted a light and a power point inside the office.

Do you also cover Rankin Park and New Lambton Heights?

Yes. Both sit beside Elermore Vale and are in our Newcastle service area, so it is the same trip for us.
