What we get called to

The faults that stop service

In a kitchen an electrical fault is not an inconvenience, it is a section of the menu you cannot serve. These are the situations we deal with.

Tripping circuits and RCDs

Breakers and RCDs tripping under load, taking out equipment or a section of the kitchen partway through service.

Equipment electrical faults

Electrical faults on ovens, dishwashers, cooking equipment and kitchen machinery, diagnosed on the equipment rather than only at the isolator.

Three phase supplies

Supply and connection faults on three phase cooking equipment, dishwashers and larger kitchen plant.

Exhaust and canopy controls

Fan supplies, fan controls, starters and control panel faults affecting canopy and exhaust operation.

Switchboards at capacity

Switchboard faults, and boards that have run out of room or capacity as the venue has added equipment over the years.

Cool room electrical

Supplies, isolators, controls, contactors, protection and electrical fault finding associated with fan motors and equipment.

Lighting

Front of house and back of house lighting faults, repairs and replacements.

Capability

We work on the equipment, not just the supply to it

Our scope can extend beyond the supply and isolator to the electrical components and wiring within the equipment. Where a fault sits in the electrical side of the equipment, we can fault find and repair it.

  • Elements and thermostats
  • Contactors, relays and switches
  • Motors and motor circuits
  • Internal wiring and terminations
  • Control circuits and controls
  • Supplies, isolators and connections

Because we can fault find beyond the supply and connection point, an electrical fault within the equipment can often be diagnosed and repaired as part of the same electrical job.

This is electrical work on kitchen equipment. We are electricians rather than appliance technicians, and where a fault is not electrical we will tell you.

Scope

Where our work ends and another trade starts

A lot of time gets lost in kitchens ringing the wrong trade. This is the split, so you can work out who you actually need before anyone attends.

  • Switchboards, protection and additional circuits
  • Electrical fault finding and repair on kitchen equipment

Another trade

Outside our scope

  • Refrigerant work and sealed system repairs
  • Refrigeration system diagnosis and compressor mechanical work
  • Mechanical repair of appliances
  • Canopy cleaning and ductwork

If the fault sits within our electrical scope, we can deal with it. If the findings point to the gas, refrigerant or mechanical side, we'll tell you so you can get the right trade involved.

Upgrades and additions

Adding equipment, or changing the kitchen

As venues add or change equipment over time, switchboards can eventually run short of available capacity or space.

  • Supplies for new cooking and kitchen equipment
  • Additional circuits and switchboard modifications
  • Switchboard upgrades and replacements
  • Load considerations when equipment is added or changed
  • Kitchen fit-out and refurbishment electrical work

Larger installation work is covered on the projects and installations page.

Testing and records

Routine compliance testing

RCD testing, test and tag, and emergency and exit lighting testing with the associated records and registers.

Testing can be arranged on its own or as part of an ongoing electrical maintenance arrangement for the venue. There is more detail on the commercial electrical page.

Attending

Working around trading

Planned work is scheduled around service and trading hours wherever it can be, so the kitchen is not down when you need it.

For breakdowns and after-hours requirements, call to check current availability.

Something down in the kitchen?
