Kitchen

The kitchen is home to many heavy users of electricity. Stoves, dishwashers and microwaves chew up plenty of power on a daily basis, and those are only the basics. As many modern kitchens adopt trendy devices with specific functions – from food processors to spiralisers and ice cream makers – the electrical requirements are skyrocketing.

As soon as you notice signs of an electrical fault in your kitchen, it’s time to call in the professionals – the team at Byrd Electrical have the equipment and experience to quickly detect and repair any electrical faults in your kitchen.

Living Room

Meant as a gathering place, the living room – and the electrical devices in it – can see some heavy usage in family homes. In the heat of Australian summer, the air conditioner and ceiling fan are prime candidates for high usage, along with the TV and home automation system.

Laundry

Like the kitchen, the laundry is heavy on big-ticket devices that chew through electricity quickly. From the washing machine and clothes dryer to the powerpoints that supply power through the room, the laundry is heavily reliant on effective electrical systems – whether in a family home, a hotel or a laundromat.

In any case, if the output from your laundry is seeming lower than usual, Byrd Electrical can help identify and resolve any underlying electrical issues.

Ben from Byrd Electrical is an absolute professional. From the very start, he provided a thorough and thoughtful quote, taking the time to explain each item via a short video—something I really appreciated. On the day of the job, he arrived on time and worked with incredible focus and efficiency, requiring no hand-holding or supervision.Not only did he complete the job to a high standard, but he also tidied up afterward without being asked—a rare level of care. What really impressed me were the extra little touches, like cleaning lights he wasn’t even working on. That level of pride in his work is why I won’t be using anyone else in the future.Byrd Electrical sets the benchmark for professionalism, and they’ll be my first call for all electrical needs from now on. Highly recommended!

Ben helped us install 3x Shelly 1 Mini Gen3's (smart relay switches) in our home, consolidating the light switching along the way to reduce redundant switches.

To organise the job was very easy and the company had great communication. Leon was very knowledgeable and finished the job quickly. Although I was informed and said yes to each price marker, in hindsight sight, I did find it quite expensive for the job. I guess I do have reassurance that the job was done correctly and statements were sent via email. Thanks Byrd electrical.
