Taylors Lakes Electrician

What we find in most Taylors Lakes homes

The homes here were built from the late 90s through to the mid-2000s on what was then a clean slate. Builder-spec switchboards were fine for the load those homes were expected to run. That was before reverse-cycle ducted systems became standard, before induction cooktops, before anyone had an EV in the garage.
A lot of those switchboards are now 15 to 20 years old and running at or near capacity.
Add an EV charger, which needs its own dedicated circuit — on top of ducted heating and cooling, induction cook tops and a switchboard upgrade is required.

Double garages, outdoor living, and homes that have grown beyond their original wiring

A double garage built in 2002 has a single GPO and a fluorescent light. That was fine when it was storing two cars. It’s not fine when it’s been converted into a home gym, a home office, a studio, or an extra room, which is exactly what’s happening across Taylors Lakes as families make the most of the space they have.

Garage conversions need proper circuits for the use the room is actually getting, dedicated power, adequate lighting, data points if it’s a workspace, and heating or cooling if it’s being used year-round.
If an EV charger is going in the same space, that’s its own dedicated circuit and needs to be factored in from the start.

Outside, the alfresco and entertaining areas in Taylors Lakes homes are often still running extension cords through sliding doors. Weatherproof GPOs on a dedicated RCD-protected circuit, outdoor lighting on its own switch, and cable run in appropriate conduit is the right way to do it — and it’s not a big job when done properly.
