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.

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.

Michelle Saddington

I recently purchased and moved into a new home. I had Leon and Patrick come out to replace my 38 old downlights with new LED lights and install two ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The whole process from start to finish was easy. The initial quote was free (and included a safety check of the switchboard). Leon listened to what I wanted and was not rushed. The electricians turned up when they said they would, finished the job, cleaned up and took away all the mess. They showed me how to remove and replace the lights for painting the ceiling (without snapping my fingers!) I was kept in the loop the entire time. I would not hesitate to recommend Byrd Electrical.

Michael Dowd

Leon at Byrd electrical was a top bloke. I received an honest quote up front, he did a great job, and gave me an honest perspective on other works I might need to consider in the future without being pushy at all. Cleaned up after himself and was available when I had queries after the job was finished. The office team also do great with getting back to you in a timely manner. Ill be using these guys again.

"I can't recommend Byrd Electrical enough! From the very first phone call, I knew I was dealing with a top-notch company. Unlike other tradespeople who answer the phone with a simple 'Hello,' Byrd Electrical greeted me with professionalism, making it clear I was in good hands. Mark, the electrician assigned to our job, arrived on time, which was a refreshing change from past experiences. He quickly assessed the situation, explained the necessary repairs in a way that was easy to understand, and got to work immediately. The repairs were completed the same day, and the whole process was seamless from start to finish.What really impressed me was the attention to detail and follow-up. A few days after the job was done, I was contacted to ensure everything was working perfectly. This level of customer care is rare these days. And to top it all off, they sent us a box of gourmet biscuits as a thank-you gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Byrd Electrical has earned our trust, and we will definitely be contacting them for any future electrical issues.

Kervin Richard

I highly recommend Byrd Electrical. We needed to replace a wired-in electric oven with a plug-in oven. Byrd Electrical responded promptly and Leon arrived at the appointed time. After inspecting, he advised that regulations now require the dedicated oven circuit to be RCD (safety switch) protected, which he quoted and installed. Leon was very tidy with his workmanship, including vacuuming and wiping the area after he finished. (He even gave me free advice on how I might alter the cabinetry because the new oven wasn't exactly the same size!)

Nitzan Schell

1723158764
