Thermostats

I am an Electrical Contractor established in 1974 with a Diploma in Electronic Engineering.
I started installing electric storage floor heat in 1975 using pyrotenax cables. I purchased test equipment to find faults in damaged cables. I was checked by the State Electricity Commission for know how and fault finding, which allowed me to join the then floor heat association.
Now I specialize in repair and installation of electric floor heating, power cables and associated electrical services to domestic, commercial and industrial clients. My commitment to provide our customers with quality work at a fair price has earned me a superior reputation in the industry. I work anywhere clients want me to go. Traveling expenses vary, I commonly pool jobs in an area then stay in that area until all jobs are completed.This minimizes costs to clients. If a client wants to cover traveling expenses, I will do special trips anywhere at the customers expense.
You can count on a responsible, well-trained, and professional work. I strive to minimize mess and disruptions to our clients while ensuring the highest level of safety and value utilizing the latest technology and time proven products.
Our clients and their needs are our primary concern, and as such, our work mostly derives from satisfied customers.

Floor heat Cables installed prior to 1980 were manly Pyrotenax cable.
Now in Australia there are many types of heating cable which creates a headache because no one labels what cables are installed. The advantage of me getting older is I notice clues which help with this problem.
I have purposely excluded photos of how repairs are achieved dustless and the test equipment used to locate problems

History:
Oldest floor heat system repaired was installed 1950
Members of original floor heat association: Warmcrete, Florawarm, Slab heat, Increte,
Ferrier O’Brian, Bendigo Electrical Service

Common Problems Past
1.The junction of the heater cable to the incoming power cable
2.Burnt wires in switchboards, these start by bad connections
