Project Overview: Enhancing Comfort in a Brighton East Bathroom

Client Arun sought to upgrade his Brighton East bathroom with an IXL Tastic 2-in-1 light and heat unit for instant warmth and illumination. As a premier Brighton East electrician, Byrd Electrical, led by Ben Weston and Boyd, installed the unit with precision, transforming the space into a cozy retreat. This project highlights our expertise in bathroom electrical solutions, making us the trusted electrician Bayside Melbourne residents rely on.

Project Details: Expert IXL Tastic 2-in-1 Installation

The IXL Tastic 2-in-1 unit, featuring 2 x 275W infrared heat lamps and an 8W LED light, is ideal for bathrooms needing heat and lighting without an integrated fan. Our electrician near me team at Byrd Electrical completed the following steps to ensure a seamless installation:

  • Power Isolation: Safely isolated power to the bathroom to prepare for the installation.
  • Ceiling Preparation: Verified sufficient roof cavity space (approximately 300mm, as required for IXL Tastic units) and prepared the ceiling cutout for the unit.
  • Unit Installation: Securely mounted the IXL Tastic 2-in-1 unit, ensuring proper alignment and a flush fit with the ceiling.
  • Wiring and Connection: Connected the unit to the existing electrical system, wiring it to a 4-gang wall switch for separate control of heat and light.
  • Drop Sheets for Cleanliness: Used drop sheets to protect Arun’s bathroom, keeping the space clean during installation.
  • Thorough Testing: Tested the heat lamps and LED light to confirm instant warmth and superior illumination, ensuring correct operation.
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety: Issued a Certificate of Electrical Safety, registered with Energy Safe Victoria, to confirm compliance with Victorian regulations.

The installation was scheduled at Arun’s convenience, ensuring minimal disruption and a tidy, professional finish.

I highly recommend Byrd Electrical for any electrical needs. They are professional in their correspondence from quote stage and their workmanship is excellent. We had the pleasure of having Leon, Lionel and Patrick attend our property and I cannot fault them. It is refreshing to deal with such a professional company. Will definitely use them in the future.
I used Byrd Electrical for a residential job in Sandringham, VIC in December, just before Christmas, and the experience went well beyond my expectations.

I found them through Google “find nearby” after contacting four other electricians for quotes. Byrd Electrical were the only ones who could attend promptly, provide a detailed quote, and actually fit the job in before Christmas. They attended three days after first contact and provided a clear, itemised quote with options, which made it easy to understand exactly what was involved and choose the best approach.

During the quote visit, they also inspected the switchboard and identified that several circuit breakers were not up to current standard. This was clearly explained to me, including the technical differences between the existing breakers and modern RCBO protection, and why this mattered from a safety and compliance perspective. As we have a small child, electrical safety is a priority for me, and this discussion highlighted a genuine risk that needed to be addressed.

The quoted work included installing double external power points in different outdoor locations, as well as extending power, ethernet, and TV coax into a recessed media box for wall mounting an 80-inch TV. Two days after the quote, they attended to carry out the work, turning up exactly when they said they would and again discussing the quoted options before commencing. They also accommodated my request to ensure the recessed media box allowed space for a small NUC PC, which was handled without issue.

During the job, following a detailed technical explanation and a discussion of the safety risks given we have a young child, I verbally approved additional work to address the switchboard issues. The switchboard was upgraded to current standards using modern RCBOs, ensuring appropriate protection across the relevant circuits. This was carried out transparently and professionally, and knowing the switchboard had been properly brought up to date was very reassuring.

They also went beyond the original scope in other areas. Instead of simply relocating the existing ethernet and coax connections, they split them, ensuring I retained access to the original points as well as the new media location.

Throughout the job, Ben, the electrician on site, was professional, tidy, and respectful of our home. Work areas were kept clean, explanations were clear, and the finished result looks well planned and neatly executed. Nothing felt rushed or improvised.

As a final bonus, the total cost came in slightly under the quoted amount, which was a pleasant surprise given the additional work that was done.

Overall, the combination of clear communication, detailed quoting, strong technical knowledge, attention to safety, on-time attendance, and the ability to deliver just before Christmas really set Byrd Electrical apart.

Ben did a fantastic job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Byrd Electrical again or recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable electrician.
Really satisfied with Byrd Electrical. Had to reroute an underground power cable and Mark was on time, communicated very well and took the time to answer all my questions and explained everything very thoroughly. Price wise I found everything to be very reasonable. 5/5 would highly recommend.
Exceptional service and communication. Highly recommend
Exceptional workmanship and a massive safety upgrade!

I hired Byrd Electrical to install a dedicated circuit for a new 25kW pool heat pump, and they ended up doing a much-needed safety overhaul on my switchboard as well. With their 10+ years in business and combined 40 years of experience, it really shows in the quality of the work.

Leon and the team were fantastic. For the heat pump, they ran a dedicated 32A circuit with heavy-duty conduit. We discussed the layout beforehand, and they surface-mounted it very discreetly with neat bends—it looks incredibly professional.
More importantly, they identified a critical safety issue in my existing board where an old RCD was failing to trip (we’d had recent shocks). They retrofitted the board with new RCBOs for all circuits and added a surge protector. I now have a Certificate of Electrical Safety and total peace of mind knowing the family is safe.

They managed to squeeze us in before Christmas, which I really appreciated. If you need complex work done right, I highly recommend Byrd Electrical
Fantastic service from Leon and the team at Byrd. Always prompt, always polite and always deliver great work. Won’t go elsewhere for our electrical needs.
Excellent customer service and on time. Thank you Ben for the great effort and extra help in fixing issue at hand. Highly recommended for any electrical needs!
I highly recommend Byrd Electrical. They were very prompt and clear with the quoting which included a video explaining options and the steps required to complete the work. They arrived on time, were efficient and cleaned thoroughly. I asked them to fix my internet woes which was done with cabling and wireless access points. They also installed new electrical powerpoints and a fan. During the fan installation while on the roof, they noticed a cracked tile and patched it with sealant. That was so kind and made my day.
Very efficient, excellent work and extremely friendly service. Highly recommend
