Your breaker trips at dinner. That's the panel talking.
Panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, renovation wiring and fault finding — everything behind the drywall, by one electrical team.
A demonstration build. Nothing on this page books an electrician.
The one thing in your house you never look at
A panel is not a mystery box. Here is what an electrician is actually reading when the cover comes off, and what each part tells them.
-
Service rating
What the house can draw in total. A load assessment checks whether the existing service can support planned additions.
-
Breaker condition
A qualified electrician checks for heat damage, corrosion and unsuitable connections. Do not remove panel covers or inspect energized parts yourself.
-
Conductor terminations
Connection condition is part of a professional inspection. Repair scope and cost depend on the findings.
-
Bonding and grounding
A professional inspection checks protective connections, including changes made during earlier renovations.
-
Spare capacity
Whether there is physical room and electrical headroom for what you are planning next — a charger, a heat pump, a suite.
Know when to seek help
Don't phone an electrician first
- Smoke, sparking or a burning smell
- An outlet or switch plate hot to the touch
- Anyone has received a shock
- Water reaching the panel
Move away from the hazard and contact emergency services from safety. Do not touch wet electrical equipment or enter a flooded area to reach a panel.
Something is degrading
- A breaker that trips repeatedly
- Lights that flicker across several rooms
- Buzzing from the panel or a switch
- Half the house has gone dark
Stop using affected equipment and seek prompt advice from a qualified electrician or your utility. These signs can be serious; this demonstration cannot determine a safe waiting time.
You're adding load
- EV charger
- Heat pump or air conditioning
- Suite, workshop or garage
- Kitchen or bathroom renovation
Have the panel assessed before the other trades are booked, not after the drywall is closed.
General guidance for a demonstration site, not an inspection. Never open a panel or handle wiring yourself.
Everything behind the drywall
Panel & service upgrades
Replacing the panel, raising the service, and correcting the bonding and grounding that a past renovation quietly broke.
Permit + inspectionEV charger installation
Load calculation first, so the charger you are sold is one the house can actually run alongside everything else.
Load calcPot lights & smart switches
Layout planned before anything is cut, neutrals confirmed before smart switches are ordered.
Finish workRenovation wiring
Rough-in coordinated with the other trades, inspected at the right stage, so nothing has to be reopened.
StagedFault finding & repairs
Tracing the actual cause rather than replacing the part that failed because of it.
Diagnostic
The free 18-point electrical safety inspection
The panel, the terminations, the bonding, the smoke and CO coverage, and the spare capacity for whatever you are planning next. Written down, photographed, and yours to keep.
Book the inspectionBook the inspection before the panel books it for you.
Explore an AI receptionist configured for electrical enquiries, from panel upgrades to EV chargers. The sample intake collects the project type and property details without arranging a visit.
Open the demonstration to see the electrical intake it runs and where it refuses to book and tells you to call 911 instead.
