Lighting
Would you like to revamp areas of your house with some new lighting? Are you looking to cut costs by swapping your incandescent lights to LED lights? In some cases, swapping to LED can change your electricity consumption by up to 75%. Would you like dimmers installed? Are you wanting to improve the general lighting in your home to make it brighten update your décor? Dr Watt can help you find cost effective and practical solutions to all your lighting needs.
Rewiring
It’s crucial that the wiring in your home is up-to-date and complies with Australian Standards to prevent the possibility of electrical hazards, fires or shock. It’s especially important to have the wiring looked at in older-style homes that may have had DIY done over the years, as it’s likely that this wiring is outdated, incorrectly installed and potentially dangerous.
Whether you’ve just bought a property with old or dodgy electrical wiring or you’re in the process of renovating, you’ll probably need your home rewired and/or your switchboard replaced. But rewiring a house is a task that can often get overlooked. Because electrical wiring is generally out of sight, it’s not usually considered a priority when moving into a house or renovating, unless an electrical problem is obvious.
Smoke Alarms and Detectors
Smoke alarms and detectors DO SAVE LIVES.
Do not be without one.
If your home doesn’t have a detector or it’s a battery operated only one, it’s time to upgrade.
The laws around smoke detectors have changed considerably over the past few years as technology and research has improved. Old ionisation alarms do not give the protection that photoelectric smoke alarms do.
Smoke alarms that were manufactured more than 10 years ago must be replaced with new alarms and are now required in even more locations within your home. Ring Dr Watt for some further advice as to how you can protect yourself and your family better.
Switchboards and Safety Switches
A switchboard that is up to date can be the difference between life and death.
Making sure that your switchboard has correctly installed safety switches shouldn’t be overlooked.
Safety switches save lives.
