The Sydney storm season is on the way. 🌧️ If a branch takes out the power line to your house, who do you call? The answer isn’t as simple as you’d think.

Last summer, a homeowner rang me after a big branch came down across the line to her house. The wire had been pulled clean off the roof.

Her first question was, “Do I call Ausgrid or do I call you?”

Fair question. It comes down to which end is damaged.

Network companies like Ausgrid look after the connection at the street, and they’re usually quick to get out and fix it. But they don’t repair the connection at your house. The bracket where the wire attaches to your home is the homeowner’s responsibility, and reconnecting it has to be done by a Level 2 electrician.

So depending on where the damage is, you might need Ausgrid and us, or just us.
In her case it was both. I talked her through keeping everyone well clear of the wire, got on to Ausgrid to sort the street end, and Konrad (that’s him in the photo) reconnected her place.

She didn’t have to figure out any of it herself, and that’s what I’d like more people to know.

If a storm brings down your power line this summer, stay well back, treat the wire as live and give us a call. We’ll walk you through what to do and coordinate with Ausgrid so everything gets fixed.

And before bad weather hits, have a quick look at where the wire meets your house. If it’s sagging or the bracket looks rusty, get it checked. It’s a much easier fix now.

After our last post, we've had heaps of people installing ceiling fans to run alongside their air con and cut their summer power bills.

But here's something that surprises almost everyone we tell. That ceiling fan you put in to get through summer? It can keep you warmer in winter too.

Most people think a fan is a summer only thing. You switch it on when it's hot, you forget about it when it's cold. But there's a reverse setting on almost every ceiling fan, and it's one of the most overlooked features in the house.

Warm air rises. So in winter, while you're sitting on the couch feeling the chill, a good chunk of the warm air from your heater is sitting uselessly up near the ceiling. You're paying to heat it and getting none of the benefit.

Run the fan in reverse, on low, and it gently pushes that warm air back down the walls and into the room where you actually are. No cold draught, just the warmth you've already paid for finally reaching you. It means you can ease off the heater the same way fans let you ease off the air con in summer.

So that fan isn't just a summer purchase that sits idle half the year. Set up properly, it's working for you in the depths of winter too.

Most people have no idea their fan can even do this, which is a shame, because it's free comfort they already own.

If you're thinking about getting fans in before summer, it's worth knowing they'll earn their keep long after the heat's gone. Give me a call and we'll work out the right setup for your place.

It's predicted to be a hot and dry one this summer. Have you actually thought about how you'll keep the house cool without your power bill going through the roof?

Here's the number one tip I give people. Instead of setting the air con low and letting it grind away all afternoon, set it a few degrees warmer and let ceiling fans carry the rest.

Your house will feel just as comfortable, and every degree you ease off the air con is money staying in your pocket, because fans cost a fraction of what air con does to run.

I learned this one the slow way. For years, my own family would crank the air con the moment it got warm and leave it running all day. I'm an electrician. I knew exactly what that was doing to the power bills. But we did it anyway, because it was easy and the house was hot.

Then one summer I finally had enough. I installed ceiling fans in the rooms we actually lived in, the living areas and the bedrooms.

A ceiling fan moves the air around, which makes a room feel several degrees cooler than it really is. So we set the air con a few degrees warmer and let the fans do the rest. The house felt just as comfortable, if not cooler, and the difference on the bill was astonishing.

The truth is, air con is brilliant, but running it hard to cool the whole house all day is the most expensive way to keep cool.

If you want to beat the summer heat without it costing you a fortune, now's the time to sort it. Give me a call and we'll work out what your place needs.

This is what old wiring looks like once it comes out of the wall. Something tells us the hat trend won't catch on.

We pulled a house load out of a home last week during a full rewire. Every strand of it was doing a job until the day we ripped it out.

Here's the thing about old wiring. It doesn't fail all at once. It gets old quietly, behind your walls, where you never see it.

The insulation is usually the first to go. In older homes you'll find rubber or cloth coatings that crack and flake off over the years, and once that happens you've got live metal sitting exposed inside your walls. Add a few decades of rodents having a chew, and maybe some dodgy DIY someone did back in the day, and you've got a real problem you can't see.

Most people don't think about any of this until the house starts telling them. Breakers that trip for no reason. Lights that flicker. A faint buzzing at the switchboard, or worse, a burning smell. That's not the house being quirky. That's wiring running hot because it can't handle the load anymore.

And the load is the other half of it. Even a house wired in the nineties wasn't designed for how we live now. Air con, a kitchen full of appliances, computers in every room, everyone charging something. Old systems just weren't built to carry that much, so people end up running extension cords and stacking power boards, which brings its own risks.

Look, a full rewire isn't a small job and I'm not going to pretend it is. But if your place is a certain age and you're seeing any of the warning signs above, it's worth getting someone to actually look before it becomes an emergency.

If you're not sure how old your wiring is, or the house has been giving you signs, give us a ring and we'll take a look.

People ask what being a family business actually means. This photo is pretty much the answer.

That's three generations of us. Me, my two sons, my son-in-law, and the little bloke in the yellow shirt is my grandson. He's two and already a little tradie in training. He's claimed the tape measure and isn't giving it back.

I started my electrical business over 30 years ago with a van and not much else. Never planned for it to become a family thing. But one by one the boys came through, did their apprenticeships, and decided to stay and build it up with me.

When it matters, there's nobody I'd rather have next to me. If one of them does a job or wires something up, I know it's done properly, because they were taught by someone who wasn't going to let them cut corners.

As a family team, we always treat your home the way we'd want someone treating ours. That's not a line on a website. It's just how you end up working when it's your own family wearing the shirt.

And who knows, maybe in twenty years my grandson will be the one turning up to fix your lights. He's already got the tape measure sorted.

If you want electrical work done by a crew who actually cares how it turns out, give us a ring.

Take a look at the power points in your house right now. If they're more cream than white, they've yellowed. It’s a common problem, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Had a client recently who called us to add an extra power point in their kitchen. We installed a brand new white power point next to the existing ones.

When we were done she looked at the new one, looked at the old ones, and said "why are all my other ones so yellow?" Turned out they were the original fittings from when the house was built in 2004.

They weren't dirty. The plastic itself had yellowed over the years from UV exposure and age. It happens gradually so you never really notice until you've got something new to compare it to.

She asked us to come back the following week and swap every power point and switch in the house. Took us a morning. No mess, no disruption. Just a quick swap at each point.

She told us afterwards it was the cheapest thing she'd ever done that instantly refreshed the house. Yellowed power points can make a home feel older than it is. Every room just felt cleaner and more modern.

If yours are looking a bit tired, give us a call. We’re happy to help.

The average family home has about five power boards scattered through the house right now. One on the kitchen bench, one behind the bedside table, one under the desk, one in the kids' rooms. All doing the same job. Charging stuff.

Had a family in Dee Why last month who were exactly this. Every room had a power board with three or four cables hanging off it. The kitchen bench was the worst.

The mum had her phone, the iPad, and a pair of earbuds all plugged into one power board sitting right next to the toaster.

We went through the house and swapped out their standard power points for ones with USB-C ports built right in. Kitchen, bedrooms, home office, kids' rooms.

The difference was instant.

The kitchen bench suddenly had all this space back. The bedside tables looked clean for the first time in years. No more cables draped across desks or tangled behind furniture. Everything just charges straight from the wall.

The whole job took a couple of hours and we didn't need to pull apart any walls or run new wiring. It's a straight swap at each power point. It was amazing how much tidier everything looked from such a simple change.

If your house sounds anything like this, give us a call. We're happy to help.

We finished a job a little while back. Lovely family home. The kind of place you can tell someone has put a lot of care into over the years.

The woman who called us wasn’t sure she could even explain why she rang. Nothing had happened to her. No break-in. No close call. She’d just been watching the news lately, and something had shifted.

“I just want to feel safer,” she said. “I want to stop thinking about it every time we go out.”

We installed a complete home security system with cameras covering the front entry, driveway and backyard, plus an alarm linked to her phone so she gets a notification the moment anything is triggered.

A few weeks later, she sent us a message.

“I just wanted to say thank you. I didn’t realise how much it was weighing on me until it wasn’t anymore. We went away for the weekend, and I didn’t think about the house once.”

That’s the thing about home security. It’s not really about the cameras or the alarm.
It’s about locking the front door in the morning and not giving it another thought all day.

Electric Express installs and configures complete home security systems across the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Inner West, including CCTV, alarms, or both.

You shouldn't have to rely on public chargers. Not when you've got a garage or driveway. Had a customer call us a few weeks ago. He’d just bought a new BYD and loved it.

What he didn’t love was walking into the garage in the morning to find his charger had cut out halfway through the night.

Some mornings, he had enough charge to get to work. Other mornings, he didn’t.
He’d had the charger installed by someone else only a few weeks earlier. It seemed fine at first. Then the drop-outs started.

When we assessed the setup, we found the issue. His switchboard didn’t have the capacity for the load.

The original installer hadn’t checked. We fixed it properly.

When we followed up a few days later, he told us it was the first week since buying the car that he hadn't thought about charging once. He just plugged in at night and didn't give it another thought. That’s how it should be.

The money he saved upfront ended up costing him much more to sort out later.
Your EV charger isn’t just another power point. It’s a high-use electrical installation connected to one of the most expensive things in your driveway.

When Electric Express installs an EV charger, we assess your switchboard, electrical capacity, charger location, and compliance before switching anything on.
So you can confidently plug in at night and wake up with a full charge — every time.

Just picked up an EV?

Got a call last week that I get more often than you'd think. "I've just got this letter from Ausgrid and I have no idea what it means."

It was a defect notice.

Ausgrid had inspected the private electrical equipment connecting his property to the grid and found something that didn't meet current safety standards. A decaying power pole, as it turned out. The letter gave him 21 days to get it fixed or risk having his power disconnected.

He'd never heard of a defect notice before. Most people haven't, until they get one.

The part that surprises almost everyone?

The poles, wires, and cables connecting your home to the grid are your responsibility as the homeowner. Not the council's. Not Ausgrid's. Yours. Most people assume someone else owns that infrastructure and would deal with any problems. That's not how it works.

Here's what else you need to know. Not just any electrician can fix it. The work has to be carried out by a Level 2 accredited electrician who is authorised to work directly on the network. If you get a standard sparkie out, the defect won't be cleared and that 21 day clock keeps ticking.

We were out to him within 24 hours. Pole assessed, repair completed, Ausgrid notified, Certificate of Compliance issued. Power stayed on.

If you've received one of these notices and you're not sure what to do, don't sit on it. The deadline is real.

Give us a call on 📞0411 188 492 or make an enquiry online, and our team will explain what's involved and help you from there.
