Electricians in Isabella Plains
Isabella Plains runs between Isabella Drive and Drakeford Drive, with its shopping centre, the primary school and St Mary MacKillop College close to the middle of the suburb. It shares a border with Calwell, where our business is based, so a quote here is a short drive for us rather than a trip across town.
What sets Isabella Plains apart from its neighbours is the mix of homes. Three quarters are separate houses, but about one home in four is a townhouse, which is a much bigger share than in Richardson or Calwell. That changes how some jobs are planned, because a townhouse often has a shared meter board and rules about common property.
Isabella Plains homes and what they need
The suburb was named in 1975, and the first residents moved in from 1985. Streets take their names from New South Wales parishes. Most houses are three bedroom family homes from the mid to late 1980s, with a solid number of four bedroom places as well.
Homes from that period normally have circuit breakers, so ceramic fuses are rare. What we see instead is a board with one safety switch (or none on the lighting), every position already full, and circuits that have been added to by previous owners. Bathrooms and laundries from the 1980s often have no exhaust fan at all, or one that vents into the roof space, which is a recipe for mould through a Canberra winter.
For townhouses, the first question is who owns what. Work inside your unit is usually yours to decide. Changes to a shared board, external walls or the roof generally need the owners corporation to sign off before we start.
The jobs we are asked for most in Isabella Plains
- Switchboards and power. The job Isabella Plains households ask us to quote most often. Replacing a full board, adding safety switches, new circuits and extra power points. See our switchboard upgrades page.
