Working on a job here in Darwin last week, I came across the following aircon install. In a place where everything has to be cyclone coded, storm proof and secure you just can’t take the cheaper option sometimes, because it will cost you more in the end. If this aircon install wasn’t repaired, the next […]
You already know that outdoor security lighting – motion sensitive or otherwise – helps to send would-be burglars or vandals on their way. That’s their primary purpose here in Darwin, and elsewhere. So if you don’t already have security lighting, either you’re comfortable without it or you’ve simply been putting off your decision. Well, if […]
On an Electrical job in Darwin the other day I was talking to one of our valued repeat customers about fans and why I thought the cheaper fan that he had bought was going to cost him more money in the long run. He had called up and requested a ceiling fan replacement and was […]
Driving across town to a job yesterday I glanced out my window and saw this. Which is pretty disturbing to say the least.

Here are some photos of DIY attempt at cbus/home automation, sent in by Trevor, who is a fellow electrician from NSW.

Dunwrights got called out to a job this week to install a surge diverter amongst other bits and pieces. After begining the job and advising the customer that the WP box containing the switchboard would need to be replaced…half way through I noticed some flashes of colour behind the panel through all the holes from […]
Wrong, in so many ways. Electricians in Darwin shouldn’t be doing this. Glen, whom works for another company, sent this in to us. Found today, client went to change the bulb and got a belt before calling in the experts. Not good, lucky nobody was hurt.
What WE expect out of a Darwin Electrical Contractor: It’s simple. This isn’t a job, it’s not a paycheque, and it’s not just time filler until Friday afternoon… We love what we do. You could almost say we live for it. Happy to go to work within the electrical industry. Happy to learn about all […]
Darwin Electricians can see that the difference in running costs between LED and halogen/CFL or incandescent is huge, when you overlook the initial cost and weigh it up with final outcome we see the savings in black and white every time the power bill comes in. It’s time for us to share with you, what […]
