Whether it’s for your lounge, bedroom, or home office, we can find the right air conditioning unit for you.

HOT WATER REPAIRS
When should I call an electrician for hot water repairs?

• The circuit breaker for your hot water system has tripped and won’t stay on.
• The hot water setting on your kitchen taps, bathroom sink and the showerhead is lukewarm.
• The hot water in your home runs out relatively quickly.

Our knowledgeable team can diagnose if your hot water system is presenting with an electrical fault over the phone at no charge. Whether the issue lies in the element, the thermostat or there’s a circuitry problem with your switchboard, Terrigal Electrical Services can help get your hot water service back in action.

If you hear noise coming from the water tank, it might be caused by a buildup of sediment. If water is leaking from your system, it could be due to worn out hot water fittings or broken pipes, which means you might need to replace your hot water system entirely.

There are a variety of factors to consider if you need to replace your current hot water system. Has your demand for hot water changed? How much are you prepared to pay upfront for a new hot water system? There’s also the opportunity of installing a second-hand hot water system unit. However, we’ll ensure that it’s up to scratch.

Once you’ve decided the size and type of hot water system you need, Terrigal Electrical Services can disconnect your old unit, dispose of it for you and recommend a plumber to complete the job.

Keep your business operational and electrically safe
As an employer or building owner, you have a duty of care to provide your employees with a safe workplace. At Terrigal Electrical we can assist with:

• RCD safety tests
  RCD safety testing involves us safely 'tripping' an RCD to ensure it can operate quickly in the unlikely event of an electrical incident in the workplace.
• Smoke detector maintenance
  It's imperative that smoke detectors are regularly tested and serviced in the workplace. Terrigal Electrical can look after the annual servicing, maintenance and installation of smoke alarms.
• Electrical testing and tagging
  All electrical appliances that plug into a wall socket or generator need to be tagged and tested to eliminate the risk of electrical hazards. Depending on your industry, this procedure should be carried out every 3-6 months. Contact the team at Terrigal Electrical Services to ensure you remain compliant with regulations.

SWITCHBOARD UPGRADES
You might say that the switchboard is the heart of your house. What do they do, exactly? Your switchboard distributes power to your main switch and each individual safety switch or fuse which powers all the electrical appliances and lights in your home.

And, a switchboard is also the place where your electricity provider will read your meter every three months. It’s here they measure energy consumption for billing purposes.

Ideally, your switchboard should have clear access from the street, and if possible located outside your fenced area if you have pets to give you meter reader easy access.

SMOKE ALARMS
It might seem simple, but smoke alarms save lives. As a result, NSW legislation states that smoke alarms must be installed on every level of your home. This includes owner-occupied homes, rental properties and relocatable homes.

Once installed, it’s best practice to change your smoke alarm’s batteries and vents every year, typically when daylight savings ends in the month of April. But smoke alarms don’t last forever. Always check the expiry date on your smoke alarm and contact Terrigal Electrical Services to replace it with a new unit to eliminate the risk of malfunction in an emergency situation.

Also known as hardwired or mains powered smoke detectors, 240V smoke photoelectric alarms are powered by the property’s main power supply. A photoelectric alarm can detect smouldering fires early and limit false alarms due to steam from cooking or hot showers. This type of alarm also comes with a battery backup when this power is cut due to a power outage. This is what makes the photoelectric alarm the most popular type of alarm installed in homes Australia wide.

Are you a landlord or property agent?
From March 2020, NSW legislation states landlords and agents have a responsibility to ensure that smoke alarms installed in rented properties are in working order.
