Electrician in Primbee

The full details for Primbee

Primbee is easy to miss if you are driving straight through to Windang, and locals probably like it that way. It is a small, quiet pocket on the north-eastern shore of Lake Illawarra, with the lake on one side, the dunes and ocean not far away, and Port Kembla to the north. Most homes are modest post-war houses, a mix of fibro, weatherboard and brick, many on generous blocks with established gardens and a garage or shed out the back.

Flowstate Electrical Co is based just across the lake entrance in Warilla, and Primbee is part of our regular area.

Common electrical issues in Primbee homes

Older houses in a coastal setting tend to share the same set of problems. Here is what we most often come across, and what we do about it.

**The switchboard is original.** Ceramic fuses, an old timber panel and little or no safety switch protection. A switchboard upgrade brings in modern circuit breakers and safety switches across all circuits.

**The wiring has been added to over many years.** Extensions, sleepouts and garages often get wired from the nearest circuit. If you are renovating, rewiring the affected areas is often simpler and safer than patching.

**Smoke alarms are old or missing.** Battery alarms past their use-by date are common. We supply and install smoke alarms, including interconnected hard wired units.

**Outdoor fittings are corroded.** Salt air from the coast and moisture from the lake are hard on anything metal outside. Corroded fittings are a common cause of tripping and failed lights. Replacing them with sealed, weatherproof outdoor lighting and power points usually solves the problem for good.

Keeping an older home comfortable

Older homes often lack insulation and can be warm in summer and cold in winter. Simple electrical upgrades help. Ceiling fans move air without the running costs of air conditioning, and LED lighting brightens rooms without adding heat the way old globes do.

If something goes wrong

A power point that sparks, a smell of burning plastic or lights going out across half the house should be looked at quickly. We are open 24 hours for emergency call outs, and Kalani can tell you over the phone whether to switch off at the main while you wait. Customers have told us he fixed a problem that other electricians could not resolve.
