Bathroom Combination / Heater / Fan / Light Installation
Bathroom combination units are integrally designed so that they have a room light, heater and fan all in one unit in North Brisbane. They are normally installed in bathrooms. With a bathroom heater combination unit, your bathroom can have lighting, heating and ventilation.
Requirements for a ventilation fan in the bathroom
When showering or bathing, hot water generates steam when contained in a not so well-ventilated room. As bathrooms are generally enclosed, they become the wettest and least ventilated room in the home and are therefore prone to build up, decay and mould. This build-up can damage the paint and corrode fixtures and cause damage to electrical appliances.
With the build-up of mould and decay on bathroom surfaces, a variety of bacteria can thrive and grow in these conditions, making your bathroom unhealthy and unhygienic. An appropriately sized and installed extraction fan extracts the moist air from the bathroom before condensation and moisture has the opportunity to build-up on the surfaces. The heating light provides warmth during cold showers/ bathing days and the light provides lighting for the room.
Ceiling Exhaust Fans
Installation of ceiling exhaust fans in homes are importantly utilised to remove moisture, unpleasant odours and fumes by means of extraction. If moisture is not removed from the room, they become prone to build up of decay and mould. This build-up can damage the paint and corrode fixtures and cause damage to electrical appliances in North Brisbane.
Exhaust fans are useful in several areas of your home
Laundry
Ventilation is an important part of your laundry, especially when you are using the drier. If the laundry room is closed to reduce the noise level of the drier, moisture builds up as the air inside the room cannot escape to the outside. The efficiency of the drier also drops as the moisture level in the room air builds-up and becomes saturated with moisture. At this stage the available air inside the room is incapable of saturating/accumulating any further heat until cooling takes place over time (Condensation on walls and windows). At this stage you are wasting excessive amounts of electricity as very little heat transfer is taking place. With an appropriately installed Exhaust Fan, fresh air is kept circulating in the laundry thus enabling the drier to dry the clothes effectively. Laundries are often closed while in use to minimise the noise from laundry appliances, so it is critical that this area is fitted with an exhaust fan in order to prevent condensation and moisture build up.
Bathrooms
When showering or bathing, hot water generates steam when contained in a not so well-ventilated room. As bathrooms are generally enclosed, they become the wettest and least ventilated room in the home and are therefore prone to build up of decay and mould. This build-up can damage the paint and corrode fixtures and cause damage to electrical appliances.

An appropriately sized and installed ceiling extraction fan extracts the moist air from the bathroom before condensation and moisture has the opportunity to build-up on the surfaces.
Toilets
Ceiling exhaust fans may be installed to assist with the removal of unpleasant odours.

Ceiling Fan Installations
Ceiling Fans are an effective way to keep cool during the summer months, especially in good old North Brisbane Queensland. Ceiling fan/light combination come in a variety of models, sizes, shapes, materials and should be correctly selected for the right application and location. We can assist with the selection and installation of fans for your Patio as well as inside your home. You have the option of a remote-controlled installation or a wall mounted fan switch, depending on your application. We can also assist with the installation of Direct Current operating fans which reduce the noise level of the fan motor.
Electrical Switchboard Upgrade
Your switchboard is the “heart” of your home’s electrical wiring. If your switchboard is getting on in years, you need to consider upgrading it for the following important reasons:
Regulatory upgrades – Safety Switches
Regular Australian legislation updates over the last couple of years have placed more stringent safety requirements on the supply of electrical circuits to your home. As a result, many of the older switchboard installations don’t comply and when major renovations are undertaken these need to be brought up to the required standards. Although these may be an additional cost that you may not have considered, they are there for the benefit of safety and could be the difference between saving lives and your home. To safeguard your family, renters and your home make sure you don’t leave it too late to have it upgraded.
Short-circuits
Many of the older homes have safety fuses installed in their switchboards. These have a greater ability to short-circuit, meaning that there is a risk of the fuses catching fire during a faulty condition. These can be replaced with the appropriate circuit breaker directly onto the base of the fuse holder or alternatively replaced with a din rail mounted circuit breaker. This will remove the need to replace wires on the fuses, thereby eliminate the hazard of getting electrocuted. The added benefit of replacement of the fuses is that all the circuits will be protected by safety switches, providing you protection and reducing the risk of electrocution.
Power supply
With the rapid advancement of technology for our homes, our homes have been flooded with the demand for more electrical requirements. The need to supply more appliances i.e. pool pumps, air conditioners, home theatres, bigger stoves, ceiling fans, extraction fans, rangehoods, computers, microwave ovens, fitness equipment and more, it is essential that the switchboard is able to handle the additional amount of electricity required. Indications of an insufficient power supply are power tripping and the flickering or dimming of lights when appliances are switched on.

Led Lights Installation
LED lighting technology has been around for some time however, they have always been relatively more expensive than your incandescent, fluorescent and halogen lighting options. However, due to increased demand, the cost of LED lighting has dropped substantially. The energy that an energy efficient LED light consumes in comparison to the incandescent, fluorescent and halogen is also substantially less. They also have the added benefit of generating less heat for the same luminaires they illuminate. With the continues increase in demand for electricity for appliances that use a USB Power outlets i.e. iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Android tablets, GPS units, Media players, Cameras and a variety of other devices that require USB connections, the easiest and most cost effective way to reduce your electrical bill and loading on your distribution board is to convert your lighting to LED.
Watt4Watt can install LED lighting that creates a great atmosphere while remaining energy efficient. You have the option of three different colours depending on the ambiance and brightness you want to achiev
- Warm white: similar yellow to incandescent bulb
- Cool white: Medium rage between Warm white and Daylight
- Daylight white: brightest light in the range
Dimming of LED lights require that you install dimmable Led lights and in the installation of an LED compatible dimming switch. If an incompatible dimmer or LED light is installed, the lights may flash or not dim to the desired level. Watt4Watt Service will ensure that your lighting operates optimally.
Why switching LED Lights is beneficial?
Longer Life
LED lights last longer than many alternative light bulbs. LEDs on average last over 20,000 hours compared with other styles of light bulbs which last 2,000 to 10,000 hours.
LEDs may be initially slightly more costly per bulb, but the energy savings over the long term will more than make up for the initial expense.
Reduces load demand
With the continues increase in demand for electricity for appliances that use a USB Power outlets i.e. iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Android tablets, GPS units, Media players, Cameras and a variety of other devices that require USB connections, the easiest and most cost effective way to reduce your electrical bill and loading on your distribution board is to convert your lighting to LED.
Energy Consumption Saving
On average, LEDs consume 80% less energy when compared to incandescent light bulbs. Switching to LED light bulbs offers significant energy savings over incandescent, fluorescent and halogen alternatives.

Switchboard Relocation/Upgrade
Switchboards may need to be re-located and upgraded due to a renovation or upgrading. Switchboards may also be referred to as a meter panel or fuse box.
Watt4Watt Services can assist in the moving of your switchboard and any associated wiring changes which may be required.
Benefits of a switchboard upgrade
Upgrading of your switchboard may be essential for safety & to ensure it meets current Australian Standards. Some of the changes include:
- Replacement of fuses to circuit breakers which have inherent automatic trip and safety switches.
- Installation of safety switches which can save your life. In the event of an electrical fault, a very small amount of current flow to earth will cause the switch to operate before a shock can be received by the individual.
- New switchboards do not have any exposed wiring. As a result, it is more difficult to damage electrical cables and potentially save you from an electric shock.
- Overloading of a circuit breaker by plugging in too many appliances, the circuit breaker will automatically turn off. You can easily reset a circuit breaker after reducing the load. Replacing fuse wire can be difficult & dangerous as there are live terminals exposed with the fuse out. You also run the risk of not replacing the fuse wire with the correct size which may cause a fire.
- Better demarcation of the switchboard and the appliances the individual circuit breakers feed.
- Better load distribution may be achieved with the installation of more/correctly rated safety circuit breakers. On many occasions older switchboards have multiple circuits on the same fuse of circuit breaker. These can be separated so that if a circuit breaker trips it will only affect one circuit and not multiple circuits.
