Electrician Hindmarsh

Electrical work in Hindmarsh

Hindmarsh has been a working suburb since the 1840s and the electrical work reflects it. The commercial side is Port Road: showrooms, offices, food premises and the venues that fill up on match days at Coopers Stadium. That's tenancy fit-outs, 3-phase for kitchens and cool rooms, external and security lighting, and the emergency lighting testing that any premises with a public occupancy has to keep current.

The residential side is older than almost anywhere else we work. Cottages on the streets between Port Road and the river often have a switchboard that's been added to 4 times over 60 years, a ceramic fuse or 2 still in service, and no RCD protection on the original circuits. A switchboard upgrade is the single most useful job we do in Hindmarsh, and it's usually the first thing we recommend after an inspection.

What we're called for most in Hindmarsh

• Switchboard upgrades on cottages and semi-detached homes, including asbestos backing panels.
• Fit-outs and lighting for Port Road commercial tenancies.
• Emergency and exit lighting testing for venues and public premises.
• Fault finding on renovated homes where old and new wiring meet in the ceiling.

For businesses near the stadium and Entertainment Centre, our 6am start matters: most of the noisy work is done before opening, and out-of-hours work is by agreement for anything that can't happen during trading. See commercial electrician Adelaide.
