Electrical problems we fix across Newcastle

Six real jobs from Newcastle suburbs, and what was actually behind each one.

A switchboard with a mixed row of safety switches and older breakers, circuits hand-lettered on the panel

Kitchen power keeps tripping

In Mayfield the wiring tested clear. The safety switch itself had failed, so we replaced it.

Cable lying on ceiling insulation with the outer sheath split open and the conductor exposed

Rats in the wiring

A Wallsend home had lighting and power cables chewed through. We cut out the damaged runs and fitted a new safety switch.

A clamp meter placed around a conductor at an open switchboard

No hot water on a Friday

A Hamilton hot water circuit failed on a Friday afternoon. We had power back the same day, so the tenants had hot water that night.

The back of a removed double power point with blackened terminals and old cloth-covered conductors attached

12 power points went dead

One trip took out 12 points in a Cooks Hill home. The cause was a faulty point and cable damaged by a hallway water leak.

An open meter box with a row of old ceramic fuse carriers, each hand-labelled by circuit

Ceramic fuses still in the board

A Merewether board still ran on ceramic fuses. We took them out, then traced, tested and labelled every circuit in the house.

Switchboard upgrades >
A stainless wall oven pulled out of its cabinet onto a drop sheet

A blue flash behind the oven

After a trip in Mayfield, a big blue flash went off behind the oven. The cabling tested clear: the fault was inside the oven.

Newcastle questions

How quickly can you get to a Newcastle job?

We are in Newcastle suburbs every weekday. Ring 0400 232 172 and we will tell you the soonest we can be there, including after hours for anything unsafe.

Do you charge extra to come to my suburb?

No. Travel inside our service area is part of the price we quote you.

Do you work on the older cottages around the inner city?

Yes, and they take care. Carrington, Islington and Cooks Hill homes often still have old cabling and ceramic fuses. We test what is there before touching anything.

Can you do units and apartments in the city?

Yes. A lot of our Newcastle work is units along Hunter Street and the harbour, from a single power point to full unit rewires and switchboard work.
