What is a new installation?

A new electrical installation is the process of designing, planning, and installing a completely new electrical system in a building or home. This typically occurs during the construction of a new structure or during extensive renovations where the existing electrical system needs to be completely replaced or upgraded.

Our process for new installations

1. Design & Planning - We begin by assessing the property and its electrical requirements. We then develop a comprehensive plan that incorporates the positioning of electrical outlets, switches, lighting, and other components, while ensuring compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.

2. Wiring Installation - After finalising the design and planning, we carry out the wiring installation throughout the building, running electrical cables within walls, ceilings, and floors.

3. Electrical Device Installation - Once the wiring is in place, our team proceeds to install various electrical devices, such as outlets, switches, and light fixtures. In addition, we connect major appliances and other electrical equipment to the system.

4. Electrical Panel Connection - We connect the electrical system to the main electrical panel, which contains the circuit breakers or fuses responsible for regulating electricity flow throughout the building. This panel is further connected to the utility company's power supply.

5. Testing and Inspection - Upon completing the installation, our electricians conduct a thorough examination of the system to guarantee its functionality and safety.
