A suburb of family houses
More than eight in ten occupied dwellings in Watsonia are separate houses, and very few are apartments (ABS 2021).
In family homes the common requests are ceiling fans in bedrooms, brighter LED lighting, extra power in kitchens and living areas, and switchboards that can handle air conditioning.

FAQs
Do you install ceiling fans?
Yes. We install ceiling fans, including new wiring and switching where there wasn’t a fan before, and can add downlights at the same time.
Are LED downlights worth the change?
They run much cooler than halogens, use less power and last longer. We replace the fitting and transformer, not just the globe.
Does my old switchboard need replacing?
If it still has ceramic fuses, has no safety switches, or has no space for new circuits, it’s usually worth upgrading. We’ll look at it and tell you what’s needed.
Do I need a new circuit for a split system?
Usually a dedicated circuit and an outdoor isolator are needed. We check the board has room and quote the circuit with the install.
