Planning a renovation? Whether you're just looking to remodel your kitchen or want to extend and add a whole new room to your house, there's a fair chance that you'll require the services of an electrician. Here at Service Central we have heaps of electricians who specialise in renovations on our books - simply post your electrician job for free and we'll pass it on to our job-ready, certified electricians. That way you'll know the work's being done by a certified, qualified electrician.
Electricians can help with the planning When it comes to building, there are a number of legal requirements that have to be met, especially when desiging kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas featuring spas and pools. So it makes sense to hire an electrician early in the process so they can advise you as to what can go where and how you can get the most out of your renovation and still comply with the local legislations.
All electrical renovations must meet Australian Standards You have to ensure all the electrical work has been done to standard by a certified, licensed electrician. As of June 2008 all electrical work must, at the least, meet Australian Standard 3000:2007. If you post your job through Service Central, then only certified electricians will be able to respond, so you'll know you're getting electrical quotes from businesses you can trust.
Electricians must have public liability insurance and be licensed Thankfully Service Central's strict compliance requirements means that in order for one of its registered electricians to accept an electrician renovation job they must have proven that they are both licensed and have a minimum of $5 million Public Liability. When you post an electrical job on Service Central, only certified electricians will respond.
Energy efficiency advice Energy efficiency is the 'in' thing at the moment, and so it should be! Not only does it save you money to install energy efficient appliances, it can also add value to your home and renovation and go towards helping the planet for future generations! So why not ask your electrician to help you plan your renovation to make the most of the latest energy saving measures - we know you won't regret it. There are also many rebates available that can help minimise the cost of 'going green', so remember to ask your electrician about this as well.
Renovations are taking Australia by storm at the moment, thanks to a variety of home improvement television shows and the warmer weather. However before you get swept up by the dream, take the time to plan your renovation and hire qualified, certified contractors to help complete the work. Not only will the works go smoother, but you'll be able to sleep soundly at night knowing your renovation is in the best of hands. Is it your dream to create an amazing outdoor entertainment area with a beautifully lit spa? Or perhaps you've simply been looking at the kitchen and thinking it could do with a facelift. Big extensions in Sydney, small renovations in Melbourne - whatever you're wanting to achieve, ensure you hire a certified electrician by posting your job with Service Central. It's free!

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 Pauline Hill · Leave a CommentHis 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.
