Project Overview: Powering a Pool Heat Pump in Northcote

The crew at Supreme Heating supplied and installed a pool heat pump for a double-story home in Northcote, requiring a new electrical circuit and connection. As a leading Northcote electrician, Byrd Electrical, led by Ben Weston, Mark, and Leon, tackled the tricky installation, navigating limited underfloor access to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and safe solution. This project showcases our expertise in specialized electrical installations, making us the trusted Melbourne electrician residents rely on.

Project Details: Expert Circuit and Connection Installation

The pool heat pump, located on the side of the house, needed a dedicated circuit from the switchboard next to the front door, but limited underfloor access and the double-story layout posed challenges for concealing cabling. Our electrician near me team at Byrd Electrical, with Leon’s innovative approach, completed the following steps:

  • Site Assessment: Evaluated the switchboard location and heat pump site to plan a discreet cabling route, accounting for the double-story home’s layout and limited underfloor access.
  • Aesthetic Cabling Solution: Leon designed a solution using duct work concealed down the back of a cupboard near the switchboard, seamlessly transitioning cabling under the floor where possible.
  • Underfloor and Conduit Work: Ran cabling under the floor with minimal access, then along the house’s exterior in surface-mounted conduit for protection and a neat appearance.
  • Circuit Installation: Installed a dedicated circuit breaker and safety switch (RCD) combination unit in the switchboard to provide overload protection and electrocution prevention for the heat pump.
  • Weatherproof Isolator: Mounted a weatherproof isolator adjacent to the pool heat pump for safe and convenient power control.
  • Connection to Heat Pump: Connected the Supreme Heating pool heat pump to the new circuit, ensuring compatibility with its power requirements (typically 15–20A for residential units).
  • Drop Sheets for Cleanliness: Used drop sheets to protect the home’s interior and exterior, keeping the workspace clean during installation.
  • Thorough Testing: Tested the circuit, isolator, and heat pump connection to confirm reliable operation and safety switch functionality.
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety: Issued a Certificate of Electrical Safety, registered with Energy Safe Victoria, to verify compliance with Victorian regulations.

The installation was scheduled to minimize disruption, delivering a safe, high-performance power solution that blended seamlessly with the home’s aesthetic.

Absolutely first class service from Byrd Electrical!

Ben and all the team went above and beyond what we expected and took the time to make sure everything was done to the highest standard.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, our job was quoted and the guys were onsite completing our works. Nothing was too much for them. Even when the misses changed her mind about the plans… Boyd, Mark and Rhys got the job done.

It’s great to come across a business that provides this level of service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Byrd Electrical!
Michael Martin
Professional and prompt with work completed in a timely fashion.
Tony Farfor
Great work, no mess, no fuss. Lots of new cameras
Oliver Ruckel
Excellent, friendly service from the Byrd Electrical team. Boyd explained everything clearly when quoting and was happy to answer all my questions. Ben the owner even came back after the job was completed to check everything was working properly, and while he was there found a way to get better performance out of the newly installed exhaust fans and carried out the extra work at no additional cost. Great to deal with - highly recommended!
Keryn Campbell
I had a tricky power outage which seemed to be a mystery. I contacted Byrd Electrical and Mark and Lionel arrived promptly, got straight to work and diagnosed the problem incredibly quickly. What could have been a drawn out and stressful ordeal was resolved in a remarkably short time. Not only did they fix the issue but they took the time to explain. They were professional, kind and clearly knew their stuff. They had a ‘can do’ attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and Lionel to anyone needing electrical work. They were a pleasure to deal with.
Karen Russell
From my initial enquiry, to quote, to setting a date and installation itself the communication was excellent from all the team involved. When the first heating element proved not suitable for me, Mark immediately tried to find me an alternative solution so they could complete the job same day. He spent time looking for ideas that would work in my bathroom space and came up with what is now perfect solution as I have heat and light without needing to turn on the exhaust fan every time. Mark and Lionel worked efficiently to install ceiling heater lights and I would never know it wasn’t part of the original bathrooms. They were easy to chat with and they also clean up afterwards 😊. Highly recommend.

Fantastic communication throughout, prompt and thorough. Everything was explained well and certificates supplied for the completed work.
I had nearly a full day of work with 2 electricians on site. Both were courteous, clean and friendly.
