A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM OUR NORMAL DAY-TO-DAY! ⚡️

We came across someone passing through Ararat who’d unfortunately lost their caravan! 😂

The hitch was still attached, but the caravan apparently had other plans and decided to take itself for a little off-road adventure reckon the TomTom was having a bad day! 😂🚐

Luckily, it managed to find the ONLY open patch of grass around, missing the house fence by about 1.5 metres! 😳

Could’ve been a whole lot worse!

Now, being electricians, we’re pretty handy with wires… but caravans aren’t exactly our usual cup of tea. 😂 So we made a phone call to our mate Jarrod, who was only three houses up, to see if he could work some magic.

A couple of hours later and, between a bit of bush mechanics, a few good ideas and plenty of head scratching, we had them back on the road! 🙌

We fixed up the trailer plug, checked that all the lights were working properly and sent them on their way.

It’s pretty bloody good being part of a community where people are willing to stop, lend a hand and help out when someone’s in a bit of strife.

That’s what it’s all about. ❤️

Most importantly, we’re bloody glad you guys were safe and that we could help get you back on the road and on your way to your destination.

Safe travels, and hopefully the caravan behaves itself from here on out! 😂🚐💨

From our family to yours,
The Watkins Family ⚡️

⚡ GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL OUR NEW & VALUED CUSTOMERS! ⚡

Bailey here! 👋

I finally got back on the tools a few weeks ago after what felt like a lifetime recovering from wrist surgery. 😂

For those who don’t know what happened, I injured my wrist trying to stop a 2-tonne van from rolling into the Ute and got crushed between the 2 cars. 🤦‍♂️

Looking back, 80kg of Bailey never really stood a chance! But in the moment, there wasn’t much time to think I just threw the closest thing I could at it to stop it.

Turns out, the softest and closest thing was… me. 😂

George might think Dad is a superhero, but unfortunately, I don’t actually have super strength. Maybe next I’ll try jumping off the roof to see if I can fly! 😂🦸‍♂️ (Don’t worry I won’t be testing that theory!)

All jokes aside, we would firstly like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for your patience, understanding and support while jobs have been pushed back and there have been delays getting back to people.

After spending four days in hospital waiting for surgery, followed by recovery, we’re still working our way through the backlog of messages, phone calls, quotes, emails and invoices.

The good news is that we’re getting very close to being back on top of everything! 🙌

Due to the large backlog of jobs, calls, messages, quotes and emails, if we have missed a message from you, or haven’t returned a missed call within a couple of days, please reach out again.

Sometimes I’ll see a message and think, “Yep, I’ll reply to that once I finish this job,” only to realise later that I never replied or worse, I typed the message and forgot to hit send! 😂 And yes, sometimes it can be a week or two before I realise.

It’s been extremely busy trying to get back into the swing of things, and unfortunately, even when I stop, the business doesn’t! 😅

A massive THANK YOU also goes to my beautiful wife ❤️ for helping keep things moving while I was recovering making calls, helping with quotes and invoices, all while juggling her limited free time from uni and running around after George.

I honestly couldn’t have kept things moving without you. ❤️

A big thank you also to Sam, who continued to show up every day and help keep jobs moving. Through the early mornings, late nights and long days, you gave 110% and helped allow me to take the recovery time I needed.

We truly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding and continued support while we get back to normal.

Moving forward, we will also be starting to enforce our business hours for general enquiries and non-urgent work calls. This is something I need to do to make sure I can properly switch off from work and spend some much-needed time with my beautiful wife and George. ❤️

Running a small business can make it very easy to be “on the clock” 24/7, but family time is just as important, so we appreciate everyone’s understanding.

📞 General enquiries & non-urgent work:
Monday to Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm

🚨 Emergency call-outs:
We are available 24/7 for urgent electrical emergencies.

If I miss your call, please leave a voicemail or send your enquiry via text and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can during business hours.

If you have an emergency and I miss your call, please leave a voicemail or send a text message explaining the issue, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

If no message is left, we may assume the call isn’t urgent and return your call during our normal business hours.

We really appreciate your understanding as we work towards finding a better balance between running the business and spending time with the people who matter most. ❤️

From our family to yours, thank you again for all of your support, patience and understanding during this time.

❤️ Thank you from the Watkins family. ⚡

Call out Tuesday for power tripping affecting essential circuits. Attended promptly and quickly diagnosed a loose neutral connection at the top of one safety switch. The loose connection had caused excessive heat, damaging both the affected safety switch and the adjacent unit. Replaced both safety switches, tested the installation, and restored power safely with the customer back up and running within 2 hours.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Usually we are smashing out jobs but skippy decided to try and slow us down. We hit a roo in the van and have been dealing with insurance and getting the van repaired. We’ll be catching up on phone calls and messages today. Sorry again for the delay and any inconvenience caused.

Another Sunday call out sorted!

Customer was in the middle of preparing a roast dinner when
a loose neutral in the over head mains box was loose and burnt out and interrupted their dinner plans!

Once we got in touch, we quickly headed over, replaced the mains box, and had the power restored in no time making sure Sunday roast was still on the menu! ⚡🍽️
