It used to be that only rich neighbours or movie stars were able to afford having a home theatre. We'd sigh with envy at their big screen tv and fancy sound system and dread going home, back to a tiny 22inch CRT.
Well today that definitely isn't the case. Home theatres are becoming much more affordable - and much more advanced as well! You can have a mini cinema in your home that can stream movies from the internet; display video in incredible 3D; and even sync up with other devices throughout your home.
Clever technology can turn your simple house into a real Smart Home. With 1080p LED, LCD and plasma tvs dropping in price every day, recreating the cinema experience in your home, from the amazing surround sound to the eye-popping 3D is no longer just a dream. So are you looking for an amazing, affordable home entertainment system that will really knock the socks off your guests?

DVD Home Theatre System. DVDs are the most popular medium at the moment and with a DVD player capable of upscaling you can watch them in full 1080p HD. You can also play music on CDs and MP3s using your DVD player.
Blu-ray Home Entertainment. Blu-ray disks look a lot like DVDs, however they're a special format and can only be played in Bluray players. With Blu-ray you can have cinema quality sound, even better picture quality, still watch standard DVDs and listen to CDs and even access the internet with a BD-Live player, meaning you can stream video from Youtube, Vimeo and other websites.
Eye-Popping 3D Home Theatre. 3D is the newest craze and with a 3D tv of my own, I can tell you why - because it's amazing! With a big enough screen, you really can recreate the full 3D cinema experience in your own home. You can still use a 3D tv for regular 2D television and movies, but when you put on those glasses and pop in a real 3D bluray disk... Wow!
Go Wireless. Sick of messy wires floating around for your myriad of speakers? Well then go wireless and get rid of those wires for good! Wireless surround sound systems use the latest technology to transfer the audio signal via radio waves or infrared. You'll still get that great sound, without the hassle of wires! This is great for retrofit home entertainment systems.
Depending on what current infrastructure is in place, installing a home theatre can be as simple as plugging everything in and switching it on... or as difficult as requiring a mini renovation and the services of a certified electrician to install cabling and additional power points. Remember, if any electrical work is required then you must hire a qualified electrician. Don't attempt it yourself!
Yes! During a renovation or while you're building your home are the best times to consider installing a home entertainment system. You can have the electrician lay all the appropriate wiring, power and data points while it's all easiest to access. Make sure you do your research and install something that won't age rapidly and will enable you to upgrade your home theatre as technology gets better.

by Service Central · Leave a CommentDid you know that malfunctioning ovens and stoves are a leading cause of electrician call-outs? Electric ovens may have become the norm but many homeowners are remarkably poorly-versed when it comes to solving basic errors in functioning. Ovens which are consistently overheating, ovens which don’t appear to turn on at all, ovens with bust lights or wonky doors and ovens which spread heat to neighbouring kitchen units are all common complaints. Here are three key steps for dealing with your issue.

by Service Central · 2 CommentsHis forearms glistened with sweat as his fingers inched closer to their destination. Moving swiftly, forcefully and with precision, he twisted and turned, grunting in concentration. His breath quickened as he thrust his tool further and further into the opening until, with one final push, he emerged drenched in sweat and with a grin. “Looks like that leak’s all fixed up now then, Ms Mitchell.” Does this sound familiar? Never fear – with these handy pick-up lines, you’ll be rustling up a bit of tradie-love in no time at all.
