What to expect

Every installation starts by checking the existing electrical supply.

I'll confirm the circuit is suitable, install or upgrade the isolation where required, complete the electrical connection and carry out all the necessary testing before the system is commissioned.

If your new hot water system requires a dedicated circuit or switchboard upgrade, I'll explain everything before getting started.

Older homes often need electrical upgrades

Many established homes still have hot water systems connected to older electrical installations.

Replacing the system is a good opportunity to check that the electrical supply is still suitable and bring any necessary parts of the installation up to today's standards where required.
