ELECTRICAL SAFETY FORTNIGHT | 1–15 SEPTEMBER

A timely reminder that cheap electrical products aren’t always a bargain.

Recent Australian safety testing found that nearly 75% of cheap electrical products purchased from online marketplaces failed Australian safety standards.

When buying lights, fans and other electrical products online, it can be difficult to know whether what you’re purchasing is genuinely compliant, safe and built to last.

That’s why when Mackie Electrical supplies & installs, we source products from reputable suppliers and trusted brands that we’re comfortable putting our name behind.

Planning an electrical upgrade? Talk to us before you buy online. We can recommend quality options to suit your home and budget.

A few dollars saved simply isn’t worth gambling with your home’s electrical safety.

Here's how we go about fault finding equipment with no drawings available...keep pulling the wire and go on a journey of whimsy and wonder ⚡️

I hope the staff realised I was talking to the video glasses but honestly they probably just think I've lost the plot, fair.

Fault Finding Tips Part 2⚡️

Insulation resistance testing is like putting a kink in your garden hose, it increases the pressure and will show any sneaky pin holes.

Here we test the power circuits at rated voltage initially to prevent blowing up any sensitive electronics plugged in inside, once we know there isn't a dead short somewhere we can crank it up to double the rated voltage for the real test ✅️

Our customer came over for a chat so the meta glasses went away (we give our customers our 100% attention) but the results were:

- Both circuits meggered clear and healthy, we suspect either a dodgy old RCD or vermin coming into contact with live terminals and getting blown clear, it will cause a trip but the fault will disappear on testing.

To protect the home from multiple circuits being affected by a trip again we installed individual RCBOs (RCD and Circuit Breaker Combinations) to the final sub circuits for maximum convenience and safety as well as tidied up some dodgy solar work in the board.⚡️

The home is now back online and safe for years to come 🤘

Your support means the world to us!

There's nothing more rewarding than hearing that we've made a difference for our customers. Every review helps build trust, supports our local family business, and helps others find an electrician they can rely on (and yes, it's us who reads them all and responds, not outsourced!)

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review – we genuinely appreciate every single one.

If we've recently completed work for you and you were happy with our service, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could take a minute to leave us a Google review. It really does make a difference and helps our small business continue to grow.

Thank you for supporting local.
