How we quote it

The same scope sheet, every time.

Whatever the job, your quote shows the load calc, the cable sizing and the compliance, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

The scope and compliance sheet

1 Load calculation. Your actual demand worked out and shown, not a system size guessed off the roof.
2 Cable sizing + run length. Sized for the inverter or charger and the distance, not the cheapest roll on the van.
3 Switchboard assessment. Spare capacity, RCD and surge protection, fault level. Checked before anything is added.
4 System sized to your bill. Solar and battery sized to your usage and load profile, not to the headline rebate.
5 Make + model, named. The exact panel, inverter, battery or charger on the quote, not "good panels".
6 Warranties, itemised. Product, performance and workmanship listed separately with their years, so you can compare like for like.
7 Compliance paperwork. CES, Certificate of Compliance and as-builts named as deliverables, plus STCs handled and shown as a line.

If a quote does not show these lines, you cannot compare it, and you do not know what has been cut.

Questions, answered

Common Commercial Electrical questions.

How often do we legally need test and tag? +

It depends on the environment, not a single rule. AS/NZS 3760 sets different intervals for an office, a kitchen, a workshop and a construction site. We assess your site, set the right frequency, and tag to it so you are covered without paying for tagging you do not need.

What triggers a switchboard upgrade? +

Age and capacity, usually. Rewireable ceramic fuses, no RCD protection, a board that is full, or fault levels that no longer suit the supply all point to an upgrade. We check the board first and tell you whether it is a compliance fix, a capacity fix, or both, with the cost as a line.

Do you work after hours so we keep trading? +

Yes. For retail, hospitality and tenanted offices we stage work after hours or in sections so you keep operating. The schedule is agreed with the site manager before we start, and after-hours rates are on the quote, not a surprise.

Can you put us on a maintenance agreement? +

Yes. A scheduled agreement keeps your boards, lighting and emergency systems ahead of failure rather than reacting after it, with a priority response when something does go wrong. We scope it to your sites and put the inclusions in writing.

Are you licensed and insured for our site type? +

We hold a NSW electrical contractor licence and public liability to $20M, and we work to a safe-work method for occupied and trading sites. We provide the certificate of currency and licence details up front for your records.

Is an LED lighting retrofit worth it? +

Often, on payback and on maintenance. We model the energy saving against your current lighting and hours, check any rebate eligibility, and show the payback before you commit. If it does not stack up for your site, we will say so.
