Another local client we helped transition from gas ducted heating to electric.
A new Daikin electric ducted heating/cooling unit installed this week. With functions such as wi fi (turn the unit on/off from your phone,) to zoning (allows the customer to isolate certain rooms in the house, therefore reducing running costs) will allow the customer all year comfort for their heating/cooling needs.

With the journey to get off gas now completed, this customer can abolish their gas meter and save the yearly gas supply charge.

Being eligible for the VEU rebate (decommissioning old gas ducted heater) meant the overall cost was substantially reduced.

If you are thinking of heading down this path, or just have questions or need advice, please reach out.

INLET INFO

Hey local Community
Just been reading online about all the outages tonight, not ideal with this heat 🥵.

Obviously not tonight for an install but thought I wouid do a quick summary on what is involved in a generator inlet if you are thinking about installing one in the future.

Unfortunately these outages are becoming more and more common during heat waves and storms and a Gen Inlet is a relatively cheap way to safeguard against outages as compared to a home battery setup.

There are 2 options for an Inlet, 15A or 32a.

If you are after a generator to just do the necessities such as lights, general powerpoints, ducted heating (gas), evaporative cooling etc then a 15a will be sufficient. Keep in mind if you use the toaster and kettle at same time you may come close to overloading.

If your heating/cooling is electric such as split systems and you dont want the hassle of limiting what you can use with the generator, then a 32a would be the better choice.

Between $1000 - $1200 for a 15A Inlet

Around $1500 for a 32A Inlet.

Some boards need extra work and some boards have limited room, hence price dif.

These prices include an inspection.
Keep in mind you will need to also purchase a generator.

If going with a 15A option, you will need a 4kva generator. Bunnings stocks a good Dewalt one for around 1500.

If going with a 32a option, you will need a 7kva or higher generator.

Push button start is a must in my opinion. Who wants to be pulling a cord in middle of winter at night.

Lastly be careful of the guys that undercut and offer to do it on the cheap. Some of the Inlets I saw from the last storms looked like they had been done by 1st year apprentices.

I also have been to many houses where “local” electricians installed Gen Inlets which were illegal , not inspected and in some cases removed safety switches to fit the changeover switch!!

Remember you need a “PRESCRIBED” certificate of safety, a “non-prescribed” is not the correct one.

Lastly choose a good local electrician who has good reviews and will do a good job. There are many skilled ones in the local area.

If you need more info or have a query, please dont hesitate to get in touch.

Hey local community,

So it’s that time of year again where it’s crazy busy…and hot!

But we think it’s important to give a little back to our local community when we have had so much support from you all over the last year.

So continuing our tradition we started a couple of years ago, we would like to offer our services free of charge for the day (Tuesday 23rd December).

But this year is even better, not only do you get myself who loves a good chat, but for the ladies you also get some eye candy in the form of our gun apprentice Zac, a strapping young bloke with a great work ethic guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

So if you know someone who is doing it tough and financially struggling, please reach out and send us a message.

We obviously can’t get to everyone, so please only recommend those that need it, and we will priortise and fit in as many as we can as it’s only for a day.

Just send us a dm to SG Switched on Electrical
and we will get back to you.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

A few pics of a kitchen Reno we did recently.
Awesome clients who were happy to go with our lighting recommendations.

The benefit of engaging your own electrician and not just using the builders one speaks for itself.

This is a kitchen that has come up 👌👌👌

If you have a project in 2026 and would like to engage our services, please reach out for a free consultation.

Had the pleasure of installing 13 light fittings in Richmond this week.

Out with the old original, dusty, dated fittings and in with the new ones.

The client chose well with the new fittings blending in well and adding a touch of class.

Another big day this week (12hrs) to install these 5 x Daikin units and a Fujitsu 8.5kw.

Love the look of the black “Zena” Daikin for the theatre room.

Find out why so many clients are choosing to go with us for their split system installs.

With a fully qualified plumber and Electrician we make sure the job is done right and looking 👌.

Client was even able to get a decent rebate by disconnecting their gas ducted too.

It may not feel like it yet, but summer is coming and you don’t want to be that guy ringing on the 23rd December to get an air con put in before Xmas! (Happens every year).

Still a couple of spots left before Christmas if you are thinking about getting split systems.

Please reach out on 0411 952 986 for a quote.

Been a big few days for the boys (and myself!) installing 6 x Daikin split systems AND a Daikin 12 kw Ducted system upstairs.
Love the look of the Daikin ‘Zena’ in the brushed white…
With WiFi built in, these clients can control their systems from anywhere, allowing them to utilise their solar and run the AC to cool their house while they are out and about, coming home to a nice cool house.

Nice, neat install with black colorbond capping looking 👌 against the brick wall.

If you are looking at getting split systems installed or Electric ducted, please reach out…still a few spots left before Xmas.

Just some more Split systems installed recently.
It’s been a crazy busy winter installing splits/ducted electric heating/cooling systems for our customers.
But with Summer just around the corner it’s about to get much busier.

Make sure you reach out if you need a new split system before the heat kicks in.
