Electrician in Barrack Point

The full details for Barrack Point

On a clear day the view from Barrack Point takes in the ocean on one side and Little Lake on the other. It is a small, quiet suburb on the headland just south of Warilla, and the homes reflect that setting: some original brick and fibro houses from the post-war decades, and a growing number of two-storey rebuilds designed to make the most of the outlook.

For Flowstate Electrical Co, based a few minutes away in Warilla, it is a suburb we know well.

Built for the view

When people renovate or rebuild on the headland, they tend to spend time outdoors. Balconies, decks and courtyards become part of the living space, and the electrical plan should follow. Popular jobs include:

• Outdoor lighting for decks, stairs and garden paths so the yard is usable after dark.
• Weatherproof power points on balconies and in the alfresco for heaters, speakers and the barbecue.
• Ceiling fans indoors and on covered outdoor areas, which take the edge off summer without running the air conditioner all day.
• Feature and pendant lighting over dining tables and kitchen islands.

Wind, spray and salt

The trade-off for living on a headland is exposure. Onshore wind carries salt a long way, and it settles on anything metal outside. Over time it corrodes screws, terminals and cheap light fittings, and water can find its way into enclosures that were not sealed properly. If your outside lights flicker, a power point trips the safety switch after rain, or a sensor light has given up, corrosion is a likely suspect.

We pick fittings suited to coastal conditions and install them so water runs away from the connections, not into them. It is a small detail at the time, but it makes a real difference a few winters later. Where it makes sense, we also position outdoor fittings under eaves or on sheltered walls rather than the most exposed spot facing the sea.

Older homes on the point

Not every house in Barrack Point is new. The original homes often have the same issues we find across the Lake Illawarra area: aging switchboards, old fuses, limited safety switch coverage and not enough circuits for modern appliances. A switchboard upgrade is often the sensible starting point before adding anything new.
