What you are looking at is a broad suitable voltage. AC Electricity is an Alternating Current, it's wave form if looked at on an Oscilloscope peaks the same in either direction of the horizontal time base line. Voltage can vary with little or no change in current. Typically single phase...

So all up, how many sockets, switches, lights and types of light fittings are you talking about here? Did you specify a particular range you wanted fitted? (ie: Clipsal 2000 series) The two quotes are a long way apart. What do you as a customer consider a reasonable hourly rate? I'm...

Times are tough man. At the moment for me any work is money to feed the family. I'm doing a job this Saturday which is simply hanging and wiring a Chandelier in a stairwell.

Great - you back into business and I'll come and work for you, then with your appreciation of my hard work, you can then take me on one of those lunches or harbor cruises. Just kidding obviously, but you are correct, and I agree with what you say about clients asking for the price you paid at...

Yes I sympathise with you. There are some blokes out there that will see an easy target. I can't give you a real answer, other than get a minimum of three quotes if necessary. I've been in the trade for thirty years, and have seen many things that other tradesmen and property owners have done...

Thats the best answer out of eleven replies. :)

Basically, the trades you require are either a Licensed or Certified trade, Builder - Project manager/construction contractor (Licensed) Plumber - Licensed Trade Electrician - Licensed Trade Tiler / waterproofer - Certified Not all trades come under the one roof, Government legislation...

IMHO I think your wasting your time with storage batteries hooked into solar panels for a typical home. Firstly - they are costly. Secondly they take up way too much room if your considering enough of them to self power an average sized home. Weight also been an issue, and they are a...

Here we go again. Tradies too expensive, so are spare parts. Yet another DIY Electrician. Pay the cost of a Sparky and keep your insurance clean. Don't risk electrocution to either yourself or someone else, or cause a fire. When is the world going to wake up to this. Electricity is a...

Hmmm, seems everyone has an opinion on which brand is the best, but little or no reason why. Back in the old days of refrigeration, or back when I was learning at technical college about it. Refrigeration was measured in two forms, Horsepower and BTU (British Thermal Units) How much...

Hmmm, I wouldn't be so sure of that. On the property side of things, I would say investing in capital cities close to Universities and Technical colleges would return great value. NZ is a stepping stone for many people from all walks of life and countries. Their target is Australia, and as...

LED downlights use a different transformer, known as a Driver transformer. They are a regulated electronic (as oppossed to a winding over a metal core) stepping down voltage device...

Yes my mistake, I actually have 3 x 16amp power circuits, and 2 x 10 amp light circuits in my home. Spa pool and Air conditioning units all have their own individual breakers. I totally agree about working on live equipment, best to shut down if you can. Sometimes it can't be done, I worked...

Yes Michael, I hear what you are saying and I often hear the same thing from many people. Fact is - I don't make the rules regarding who should or shouldn't do Electrical work. If one isn't Licensed, then one is doing the work illegally. Secondly it puts those involved and potentially...

Yesterday while attending to a service of clients Railglider (Cable car) The owner asked if I would look at some lights in his loungeroom as he had added dimmer controls, and they were now not working. I always get a bad feeling about things when the owner of a property informs me he has...
