Outdoor and Security Lighting
Outdoor lighting adds appeal and security to your property. The easiest way to brighten the appearance of your property is to install modern outdoor lighting. Light up your walkways, showcase your gardens, improve security and street appeal to the front of your house by showcasing the interesting features of your home’s architecture or front yard. We can help design and install outdoor lighting that will illuminate and highlight aspects of your house and it’s surroundings at night. Effective outdoor lighting is the way to improve the look of your house after the sun goes down, particularly if you enjoy entertaining or you want to improve your home’s street appeal.
If you have dark areas in and around the front of your house these can be a security problem, particularly if they are around entry points into your home. They can present a danger to people entering your property at night if pathways are not well lit. With the installation of low voltage security lighting you can shine a light on potential problem areas in your home or by installing motion detectors you can deter criminals late at night! Whether you are looking to add security or upgrade your front house lighting we can help create a solution that suits your needs.

Switchboard Upgrade Replacement and Service
Your switchboard panel controls the electricity coming into your home. As you add electrical appliances and circuits, you can increase the overall demand on your switchboard components. Depending upon when your home was built and how much electricity you use, your switchboard may be outdated and in need of upgrading by installing new circuit breakers and RCD’s to replace older fuses or have a sub-board added to keep up with demand. If you have recently purchased an older home or office space or are in need of additional capacity (more amperage), and depending on the size of the household or office space, and the upgrades you are planning to make, we’ll be able to tell you whether or not your existing switchboard will suffice, or if it needs to be upgraded. Make sure your switchboard is up to the task of your electrical power requirements. Don’t take any chances with your safety. You can trust our experienced electricians to come up with the most cost effective solution to your switchboard needs.
Free Electrical Home Safety Inspection
At your request, our electricians can provide you with a 5-point home electrical inspection at the time of your scheduled service. Our electrical inspections take only minutes but they can save you from potential electrical problems such as fires or electric shock. Outdated wiring, frequently tripping circuits, overloaded power points/power boards or circuit breakers are all things that should never go over looked. A few simple checks can help minimize and prevent the cost of major electrical repairs and replacements.
Our electrical inspection check list includes:
• Main electrical switchboard and connections
• Circuit breaker sizing and reliability
• RCD protection
• Electrical grounding
• Smoke Detectors
With this electrical safety inspection, we will be able to ascertain whether there are potentially any major problems that are present in the existing electrical system, so these issues can be resolved right away rather than you suffering the consequences in case something untoward happens at a later stage.
It is always better to take corrective action now and be safe than suffer from injury or fire.
Electrical and Lighting Design Consulting Service
Building a new house or renovating your existing home is a big task that many of us undertake. You’ve bundled your ideas and settled on a design but you still have some lingering concerns or doubts and you are not quite sure whether to change it or leave your design as it is.
Electrical and lighting plans can be quite complex and confusing to the everyday person. Trying to picture what your home will look like and how everything will work once it’s built is a real struggle for many home owners. At FutureTech Electric we offer our service to make sure you are making the right decisions when it comes to getting the design right for your new home or renovation.
We want to discuss, resolve and work with you through any concerns or questions you may have over your chosen design. “Could you do with some more downlights in the kitchen? Can you have 4 powerpoints in your office instead of just 2? Should the kids bedrooms have internet access? These are just some of the questions you may be asking yourself and the answer might be “yes” or it might be “no”.
We can advise you on everything from the basics of choosing the right number of lights and power points to have throughout your home, what type of security or airconditioning system should you install, what your audio visual and home entertainment needs are, right through to your Wifi/networking setup and even complete home automation. With so many choices out there it can be difficult to match the right products to your needs and your budget. With our experience and knowledge, let us help create a design with you that meets all your needs and future requirements.
Full House Rewiring Services
FutureTech Electric can help you with your entire house rewiring needs, wiring up new additions or renovations and also with the upgrading of the existing wiring throughout your home. If some of the wiring is safe and usable, a partial rewire is available as well. With every rewire we will make sure the electrical system is safe and grounded, in order to prevent fires and electric shock.
We recommend rewiring or upgrading when:
• The house was wired before 1960 and has cloth wiring or steel conduit throughout.
• The electrical system has aluminium wiring which is a potential fire hazard.
• You are using extension cords on a daily basis to operate equipment around your house.
• The existing electrical wiring / light fittings or power outlets are not grounded.
• Your home or office does not have enough power for your needs or is lacking power outlets.
• You are altering the overall power demands of your existing wiring with the upgrading of kitchen appliances and installation of air conditioning systems.
Incorrect and inadequate wiring are often the catalysts and causes for electrical house fires. If you are unsure about your wiring needs, the team at Futuretech Electric is just a phone call away.
