A Kellyville homeowner recently contacted us to install a Tesla Wall Connector to match his new Tesla, currently on order. It’s usually a straightforward job — but a few questions into the site assessment, we caught a mismatch before it reached the switchboard. Here’s why, and what it means if you’ve already got solar or […]

A German testing body just put hard numbers on something Hills District EV owners have been guessing at for years: charging straight off a household power point doesn’t just take longer — it wastes real electricity, and the waste is bigger than most people assume. ADAC, Germany’s largest motoring club, tested five EV models across […]

Buying an EV and wondering what a home charger install actually involves? Saunders Electrical Group installs EV chargers across Kenthurst, Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Rouse Hill, Windsor and Richmond, and these are the questions we get asked most before homeowners have even picked a car. Licensed under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 344815C. Can my home […]

An RCD that won’t reset almost always gets blamed on the switchboard. In our experience fault-finding these calls across the Hills District and Hawkesbury, the switchboard is rarely the problem — it’s usually something plugged into it. We had a call-out that proved it. A Rouse Hill customer lost power to a large section of […]

An EV charger that turns on and charges the car isn’t necessarily installed correctly — especially if it’s a myenergi Zappi and it isn’t set up to talk to your solar system. Saunders Electrical Group recently helped a Toongabbie customer whose Zappi wasn’t integrating with his solar system, after he’d gone with a cheaper quote […]

A ceiling fan that suddenly stops working a few weeks after installation isn’t always a faulty fan. Saunders Electrical Group was called to a property in Annangrove where a ceiling fan on a pitched pergola ceiling, fitted with an extension rod, had stopped working shortly after being installed by another contractor. The cause wasn’t the […]

Most whole-home ceiling fan upgrades don’t start as whole-home projects — they start with one room. A Dural client had Saunders Electrical Group install a single Eglo Surf 48″ DC ceiling fan with LED light in their granny flat bedroom, replacing what had only ever been a downlight. A year later, that one fan was […]

A wobbling ceiling fan is rarely a balance problem — it’s usually a support problem. Saunders Electrical Group (Licence 344815C) recently found this on a callout in Stanhope Gardens: a fan installed only months earlier was fixed to the plasterboard ceiling with standard wall anchors, with no timber blocking behind it to actually take the […]

If your smoke alarm is chirping, the fault probably isn’t the battery — it’s the alarm’s age. Under Australian Standard AS 3786, every smoke alarm in NSW must be replaced within 10 years of its manufacture date, and most homeowners don’t realise that date is stamped on the unit itself until they go looking for […]

Installing a statement pendant light isn’t an electrical challenge — it’s a precision challenge. Saunders Electrical Group, a licensed residential electrical contractor serving Sydney’s Hills District and Hawkesbury region, recently installed a multi-drop feature pendant in a North Kellyville home, and the job confirmed something most electricians won’t tell you: the wiring takes an hour, […]
