Setting up these generators today. These will be situated on a farm with unreliable power. ⚡️
Getting into a small subdivision. 180m of underground conduit in, with roughly another 400m to go.
Want to be comfortable all year around? Be sure to give us a call for a quote on our ‘Myair’ ducted A/C system by Advantage Air.Stay tuned for our winter promotions.

Exploring the country side before we re-open for 2021. We have a big year ahead,so stay tuned to see what we have planned.
This custom made 5m long pendant light at this @cghconstructions job is up and looks stunning. Thanks to @robtechcustoms for the light support brackets. Now to add the strip lighting 💪
Replacing an old ducted with a new @hitachiair.aus ducted. This unit will live its life next to its big brother the 80kw VRF we installed last year.
Fitting the last few flangeless linear bar grills. They really come up a treat.
We had a slight distraction today while installing some @hitachiair.aus splits systems🐶😂. #airconditioning #electrical #solar #frenchbulldog #frenchiesofinstagram

Time for an upgrade! These fluro lights were over 40 years old and regularly failing. We teamed up with @hanecolighting to find the most cost effective solution while maintaining the character of this church hall. 90 new vista 20 watt linkable LED battens later means:
- better light
- less power
- maintenance free
#ledlights #character #localbusiness #haneco #electrician
Flangless linear bar grille fitted into the en-suite, this bathroom will be stylish 😎
