Snap Electrical has been servicing the local Brisbane community for over 15 years in all kinds of Electrical jobs, from house new home wiring, office fit outs, smart home installation, office surge protection, switchboard upgrades and the list goes on. We can even scan your switchboard with our thermal camera to give you a good idea if anything is likely to go faulty.

We can see this easily with hot spots that are visible due to high resistance points or over loaded circuits. We see this a lot have fixed small problems before them become big, especially in commercial premises like your local community shops.

While we are there installing your Air Conditioning, ask us for our free Electrical Safety report, we can quickly access your home or commercial property and make sure there is nothing obvious that is not electrical safe or a hazard.This is a complementary service we offer, though you would like a thorough safety check we can definitely help with that as well.

What you might understand as a power stage is referred to as a'socket outlet'. It is also less commonly known as a GPO, which stands for'General Purpose Outlet' or'General Power Outlet', depending on who you ask. The expression'GPO' is used on building and construction sites (and therefore seems quite much online), however the word's obsolete throughout the remainder of the planet.
An electric switchboard is fundamentally the unit which distributes electricity to the home. It requires mains power and distributes it to different places around the home. Modern switchboards have security switches which protect the home. The safety switch was made to shut down the switchboard in case it is overloaded, but older switchboards may not have security switches and may pose a fire hazard.
Ambient lighting is the soft, evenly distributed glow that blankets your home in just enough light for your average night at home. It should be as natural and flat as possible, and allow you to get from room-to-room without any harsh glare. When used correctly, ambient light creates a relaxing environment that's perfect for unwinding after a hard day's work.
If you live in an older home your switchboard may still have semi-enclosed rewireable fuses. These fuses are ceramic plug-in units on the switchboard. They have a length of fuse wire connected between two screws on the contacts of a fuse holder and operate in an overload or short-circuit current. Ensure any damaged or faulty electrical appliance is checked and repaired only by a licensed electrician or authorised repairer.
There are many reasons why you would rewire your existing cabling to new up to date cabling. The main reason is current carrying capacity of the cabling installed and if the existing cable is damage or deteriorating due to being a different construction for example black rubber. Another example of why you would need to replace cabling or rewiring is having faulty wiring installed in the first place.
