When to book one in Wollongong
Buying or selling, moving into an older or renovated home, taking on a rental, or whenever you notice flickering lights, frequent tripping, warm outlets or a burning smell. With Wollongong’s mix of older and newer housing, inspections regularly turn up ageing switchboards and missing safety switches.
Expert fault finding
A tripping circuit can have many causes. Rather than guessing, we test methodically, pinpoint the fault, explain it plainly and fix it. (More on our safety inspections & fault finding page.)
