Storm season has well and truly arrived in North West NSW — and with the recent wild weather across Gunnedah, Narrabri, Tamworth, and surrounding rural areas, homeowners are seeing everything from flickering power to fallen private poles.

When storms hit, your electrical system becomes one of the most vulnerable parts of your property. From lightning strikes to power surges, water damage and falling branches, even a small issue can quickly turn into a costly (and dangerous) electrical fault.

When was the last time you thought about your switchboard?

If you’re like most homeowners, probably never—until the power trips, lights flicker, or something starts to smell a bit… off. But your switchboard is the heart of your electrical system, and if it’s old, overloaded or unsafe, it could be putting your family and property at risk.

When it comes to electrical work, not all sparkies are created equal - While standard electricians can take care of your everyday wiring and lighting needs, only a Level 2 electrician is licensed to work directly with the electricity network—meaning they can perform high-level, high-risk jobs like metering, power pole installations, and switchboard upgrades.
