Clocks go forward this Sunday! ⏰

Daylight saving starts at 2am this Sunday 4 October, so we lose an hour of sleep but gain those long, sunny evenings. 🌅

Fire services recommend testing your smoke alarms every month. Changing the clocks is a great reminder to give them a proper once-over too. It only takes a few minutes and is one of the easiest ways to keep your family safe.

✅ Test it. Press and hold the test button until it beeps. No beep? It’s time for a new battery or a new alarm.

✅ Clean it. Dust and cobwebs can stop it sensing smoke. Give it a gentle vacuum or wipe over.

✅ Check its age. Smoke alarms only last about 10 years. Look for the date on the back, and if it’s 10 or older (or there’s no date at all), it’s due to be replaced.

✅ Make sure it’s compliant. Fire services recommend photoelectric alarms that are hardwired, interconnected, and meet Australian Standards.

A working smoke alarm could save more than your home. It could save your life. ❤️

Need a new smoke alarm installed or an old one upgraded? Send us an enquiry through our website today.

The boys traded in their Friday Fun shirts for something a bit more formal (and handsome) on Friday.

We attended the NECA SA/NT as a team to celebrate the 2026 Excellence & Small Business Awards for both, Ryan being named a finalist for Apprentice of the Year and for our business also named a finalist for the Small Business Awards.

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Ryan for being named a finalist. He may not have taken home the prize but it is such an honor to have been a finalist. It is a huge achievement we are so proud of his dedication to our team.

We are sharing this update directly from SA Power Networks to keep all our customers informed ahead of tomorrows test.

On Tuesday 25 August, SA Power Networks will be conducting a test of the Smarter Homes emergency solar curtailment systems. Curtailment refers to the temporary reduction in the amount of solar energy exported to the grid from rooftop systems. These tests are essential to ensure our systems are operating correctly and can respond if needed to support the security of South Australia’s electricity network.

Over the course of the day, approximately 100,000 customers who installed solar after September 2020, including those on Flexible Exports, will have their solar exports curtailed for an hour or less.
This once-a-year test is a ‘fire drill’ for the grid, which simulates an emergency to check systems are in place to be ready to respond if any rare events occur in the future.

What’s the impact to customers?
Most customers will be unaware of the test. For less than one hour, their rooftop solar PV will ramp down to 0kW, and then ramp back up again. Depending on the customers selected, Relevant Agent and export monitoring capabilities, systems will either be restricted to 0kW export, or completely disconnected.
In rare cases where a customer’s system hasn’t returned to normal after the test has been concluded, they will be directed to contact their solar installer or inverter manufacturer (OEM) for support.

What do you need to do?
There is no action required from you, however we wanted to provide you with this information from SA Power Networks to provide advanced notice of the test in case you notice your system isn’t exporting as expected tomorrow.

If your system hasn’t retuned to normal after the test, give us a call. More information is available at https://www.sapowernetworks.com.au

We are OVER THE MOON! 🏆✨

Electrical NRG Solutions has been named a finalist in the 2026 Australian Trades Small Business Champion Awards and honestly, we are so honoured.

We started this business 16 years ago. 16 years of showing up, pushing through & building something we are truly proud of.

But this recognition belongs to every single person who has been part of our journey, most importantly our incredible team. You are a huge reason we are where we are today. None of this happens without a team who understand each other, are supportive & work together.

We started this business and grew it alongside our family, and that’s exactly what it feels like, a huge family achievement. To be recognised as a finalist on a national stage is something we never imagined.
