1. Service Your Air Conditioner Before the Hot Weather

2. Check Your Switchboard Before Summer Loads Increase
Summer often means more electrical equipment running at the same time.

iF your switchboard is older, frequently trips or has not been inspected for a longtime, it may be worth having it checked by a licensed electrician.

3. Make Sure Outdoor Power Points Are Safe
Summer usually means more time outside.
Outdoor kitchens, barbecues, garden equipment, lighting and entertainment areas may all requires safe access to electricity.
Avoid relying on long extension leads running through doors or across outdoor areas when a properly installed outdoor power point may be a safer and more practical option.
DCW Electrical can assist with power point installation, outdoor electrical work, lighting and general electrical maintenance in Pakenham.
4. Upgrade Outdoor & Security Lighting
Longer summer evenings are perfect for entertaining, but good outdoor lighting can also improve visibility and security around your property.
Consider checking:
- Entry lighting
- Sensor lights
- Security lighting
- Patio and entertaining-area lighting
- Garden lighting
- Driveway lighting
If lights are flickering, damaged or no longer working properly, summer is a good time to organise repairs or upgrades.
5. Watch for Signs of Electrical Problems
Electrical fault should not be ignored simply because everything still appears to be working.
Some warning signs include:
- Frequently tripping circuit breakers
- Flickering lights
- Buzzing switches or power points
- Warm power points
- Burning smells
- Damaged outlets
- Appliances repeatedly losing power

6. Consider Air Conditioning Before the Summer Rush
Waiting until the first extremely hot days arrive can make organising a new air conditioner more difficult.
DCW recently published a general guide explaining why booking air conditioning installation before the summer rush can give homeowners more time to choose a system and arrange installation before demand increases.
If your existing air conditioner struggles every summer or you are considering installing a new split system, arranging it earlier can make the process easier.
