Yes, solar panels can be installed on a shed roof. A qualified electrician must connect the system to your home’s power supply. Let us know if you would like this option discussed.
LED low bay batten lights are ideal due to their brightness, energy efficiency, and long lifespan. Motion sensors or smart lighting can add convenience. For higher sheds where classic cars or mezzanine floors are installed, high wattage LED high bay lights are recommended.
Yes, safety switches are mandatory for all power and lighting circuits to prevent electric shock. This is especially important for sheds due to their metal frame.
This depends on your needs, but it’s best to install more than you think you’ll need to avoid overloading circuits. We typically recommend 2 x outlets per bay. If you have a workbench or similar down one wall then we suggest adding a few more for that section.
Yes, if you’re running high-powered tools or machinery, a licensed electrician can install a three-phase supply. The cost to get this done varies significantly depending on whether your home switchboard already has 3 phase installed and the distance between your shed and house. There are extra protection requirements for 3 phase power as it is a 400V system instead of the typical 230V system.
Use weatherproof (IP-rated) outlets and covers to protect against moisture and dust. Issues arise only when the outlets are impacted or become flooded with water. Rain or some light washing will not hurt or damage weatherproof outlets if they have been installed correctly and sealed according to the manufacturing’s requirements.
Yes, data cables (Cat6 or higher) can be run underground with your mains power supply or via Wi-Fi extenders for internet access. We offer a WIFI package for the sheds and guarantee the same speed as your house WIFI system. This is paramount when you have a man cave and want to watch sports (LIVE) or if you have a gaming setup where low latency is key for fast refresh rates.
Power should be run in heavy-duty electrical conduit, buried at least 600mm deep to meet safety standards. Typically the trenching is done by the electrical contractor as they will be aware of the labelling requirements, minimal distances between services and the mechanical protection required according to Australian Standards.
Yes, proper earthing is required for safety and to meet Australian standards. If your shed does not have a correct earthing system, you and others are at risk of electric shock.
Distribute power evenly across multiple circuits and avoid daisy-chaining power boards.
Yes, smart plugs, Wi-Fi switches, and motion sensors can automate lighting and power usage. We offer this as an added extra and we will train you on how to control things in your shed from anywhere in the world !
RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) provide combined protection against overloads and electric shock.
Yes, a licensed electrician must provide a Certificate of Compliance (COC) upon completion to confirm the work meets safety standards.
Yes, surge protectors or devices like surge diverters can safeguard electrical equipment in your shed from voltage spikes.
Use LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, solar power integration, and proper insulation to reduce energy consumption.
Yes, a backup generator can be installed with a transfer switch to provide power during outages, but it must be connected by a licensed electrician for safety. We can do this as an optional add-on!
Yes, Custom Packages are available to meet specific needs, such as adding solar panels, EV charging points, smart automation, or specialty equipment setups.
Yes, workshop packages typically include:
Garden shed packages are minimal and usually offer:
Yes, solar packages can include roof-mounted panels, a battery storage system, and inverters to power lights, outlets, and tools off-grid.
A home office package typically includes:
Yes, security add-ons can be included in any package and may consist of:
Yes, air conditioning systems can be installed in sheds to regulate temperature. Popular options include split-system air conditioners, portable units, or wall-mounted systems.
For small to medium sheds, a split-system air conditioner is the most efficient. For larger sheds, consider ducted systems or industrial evaporative coolers.
Yes, air conditioners should be installed on a dedicated circuit to safely handle the power load and prevent overloading other circuits.
Costs typically range from $1,500 to $5,000+, depending on the system type, shed size, and installation complexity.
Yes, proper insulation is essential to ensure energy-efficient heating and cooling and to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Yes, most licensed electricians provide a 12-month to 5-year warranty on their workmanship.
Warranties generally cover workmanship defects, faulty wiring, and the proper functioning of installed components like power points and lighting.
Yes, electrical components usually come with a manufacturer’s warranty, often lasting 1-5 years.
Yes, unauthorized modifications or repairs by unlicensed individuals can void the warranty.
Contact the electrician who completed the work and provide your Certificate of Compliance (COC) and any relevant documentation.
Smaller welders may run on standard 240V power, but larger welders require 15A circuits or three-phase power.
Yes, a dedicated circuit is essential to handle the high power demands of welding equipment.
A three-phase power supply is ideal for heavy-duty welders, offering consistent power for larger machinery.
Light-duty welders need 10A or 15A, while industrial welders may require 32A or higher.
Ensure proper ventilation, use arc-safe outlets, maintain correct earthing, and have a fire extinguisher nearby.
Trenches must be at least 600mm deep or 1,000mm under driveways, with cables in a heavy-duty conduit.
Yes, use a heavy-duty, UV-stabilized conduit to protect cables from damage.
Always conduct a Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) check to locate underground services.
You can dig the trench, but only a licensed electrician can run and connect the cables.
Cables should be buried deeper or encased in a rigid steel conduit for extra protection.
Galvanised steel fixings resist rust and corrosion, offering durability in moist or outdoor environments.
Yes, they’re ideal for outdoor setups due to their excellent weather resistance.
Yes, but opt for hot-dipped galvanised or stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion.
No, they don’t impact grounding. Dedicated earthing systems must still be installed.
Galvanised steel is cost-effective, but stainless steel offers better protection in coastal or harsh environments.
Yes, electricians require full access to your property, including the main switchboard, the shed location, and the path where the trenching or cabling will be installed. Clear access ensures safety and efficiency during the installation.
Ensure the installation area is clear of obstacles, secure pets, and mark any known underground utilities. Providing a clear path for trenching and moving equipment will speed up the process.
For long or deep trenches, electricians may use excavators or trenching machines. Confirm if access is available for this equipment, especially in narrow or steep areas. Hand-digging may be necessary in tight spaces.
We accept a variety of payment methods, including VISA, Mastercard, bank transfers, and secure online payments for your convenience.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options like Afterpay, allowing you to split the cost of your shed’s electrical installation into interest-free installments. Terms and conditions apply.
Payments made with VISA or Mastercard may incur a small processing fee (typically 1–2%) depending on the payment platform. Please check with us for specific details.
The electrical fit-out for a single-bay shed typically takes 1 to 2 days, covering the installation of power outlets, lighting, safety switches (RCDs), and final compliance testing.
A 4-bay shed electrical fit-out usually takes around 3 to 4 days, depending on the number of circuits, lighting requirements, and any additional features like external power points or security lighting.
For a large custom shed with complex electrical requirements—such as multiple circuits, three-phase power, smart automation, or workshop machinery—the electrical fit-out can take 1 to 2 weeks to complete, depending on the project’s complexity.
