The railing that the lights are linked to seems to be giving issues, making the lights flicker and switch off. The kitchen light rail doesn’t work at all. A plastic piece on the end of it just popped off and I see black scuff marks on the ceiling, so I’m suspecting that something blew. There’s a thin copper rod sticking out of it. When I tried to put the plastic piece back on, it shocked me

I would like to request a formal quote for the supply and installation of a Surge Protection Device (SPD) for my distribution board. Specifically, I require: A Class 2 (Type 2) SPD (preferably a reputable brand like CBI or Schneider). Installation and wiring within the existing DB board (there is currently sufficient space/empty slots available). A Supplementary Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for the work performed. This installation is a requirement for my home insurance policy, so the CoC is essential for me to update my cover and manage my excess. Could you please provide a breakdown of the costs for the unit, labour, and the certificate? Please also let me know your earliest availability for the installation.

Certain power outlets in our home, connected to one specific switch on our circuit box, are causing the power to trip. We have turned off all the outlets and tried flipping the switch but the power still trips, so it might be a problem with the wiring. We are unsure. We are also looking into installing new power outlets as our house, being an old one, has very few of them and thus requires that we use many extension cables and multi-plugs.
I live on the second floor and my apartment got flooded. The water leaked to my downstairs neighbor, it was dripping onto her plug with her cellphone charger attached. The electricity as a result got cut off. Not sure if its just a wiring issue for the whole apartment or just the plugs. Please WhatsApp me with a quote.
Hi, our inverter is currently connected directly to the building electricity supply. The problem is that whenever the inverter has issues, we lose electricity completely. We would like someone to bypass the inverter when it has faults so that we can still have electricity from the building supply. Please let us know if this is possible and how much it would cost. Thank you
