Electrical problems around Speers Point and Boolaroo

Speers Point runs from 1970s and 80s brick homes on the hill down to older cottages towards Boolaroo. Plenty of them are being renovated around wiring that was never meant to carry a modern kitchen.

Electrician levelling a new fitting for a neat finish

Burnt power point behind the dishwasher

The plug and the outlet were both badly burnt and melted. We cut back the damaged cable, fitted a new double outlet, tested it, and cut the plug off the dishwasher so nobody used it again.

Power points >

An old coil cooktop lifted to show corroded elements and a rusted pan beneath

Cooktop sparking and smoking at the dials

We assessed it, measured up for a replacement, then fitted the new cooktop. It had been connected with flexible cable that should never have been used, on a circuit with a breaker and no safety switch, so we replaced the cable and put the circuit on a safety switch.

Ovens and cooktops >

Home switchboard fitted with a row of safety switches

Switchboard holding up the whole renovation

We fitted a new three phase busbar and a safety switch on each circuit, which cuts the hot joints that come from tired cable connections. Work on the network side is done first by an accredited ASP, which we arrange.

Verandahs and old cabling around the lake

A new verandah with no light or power

We roughed in six downlights, a ceiling fan, a double outlet and the switching, then came back once the building work was done to fit off the lights, the fan, the outlet and the dimmer.

Outdoor lighting >

Outdoor downlights lighting a deck at night

Rubber cabling still feeding the power points

At a Boolaroo home we rewired two power circuits, removed the old rubber cable and its metal conduit, refitted the outlets and tested them. We flagged the lighting, still in the same old cable, for the next stage.

Electrical work in Speers Point: common questions

My cooktop is smoking at the dials. Is that urgent?

Treat it as urgent. Turn it off at the wall or the switchboard, stop using it, then ring us. At a Speers Point home we assessed one, found three of the control switches behind the dials had failed, and priced the replacement before anyone used it again.

My cooktop has no power at all. What gets checked first?

The hidden outlet that feeds it. At one Speers Point kitchen the switch had been knocked off by things stored in the cupboard, so the cooktop was fine all along.

Can a rewire be done in stages instead of all at once?

Often yes. At a Boolaroo home we rewired the power circuits in new cable, pulled out the old metal conduit and certified that work, then flagged the lighting, still in the same crumbling rubber cable, as the next stage.

Who does the work on the pole and the meter?

An accredited ASP, which is the licensed contractor allowed to work on the network side. We arrange that work and do everything from the meter box in, so you only deal with us.
