The sparky who
turns up when he
says he will.

I'm Callan. SSC Electrical is me, a van and a fair bit of gear, working out of Cooroy across the Noosa hinterland. Switchboards, solar, batteries, smoke alarms and all the everyday house wiring in between.

Every review, five stars

14 of them on Google, and not one below five.

You get me, not a crew

Same bloke quotes it, does it and comes back if anything needs looking at.

Battery qualified

So the storage goes in with the panels, not bolted on afterwards.

Smoke alarms certificated

Installed and certificated, which is what you need at sale or lease.

Inverter and battery, mounted square, isolators labelled and within reach. The bit nobody sees until something goes wrong.

What I do

Residential electrical, and the solar that goes with it.

Most of my work is houses on acreage around Cooroy and out towards Eumundi and Gympie. Long driveways, old boards, sheds with their own supply, and roofs that are begging for panels. If it runs on 240 volts or comes off a roof, it's probably something I can sort out.

General house wiring

New installations, plus repairing or replacing the old stuff. Extra points, lights, fans, the circuits that never quite worked properly.

Switchboard upgrades

Old ceramic fuses and mixed circuits brought up to a modern board with proper safety switches, and every circuit labelled so you can read it.

Solar installs and repairs

New rooftop and ground mount systems, and fixing systems that have stopped doing what they should. Inverters, isolators, the lot.

Battery storage

Battery qualified, so the storage side goes in properly alongside the panels rather than being bolted on by somebody else later.

Smoke alarms

Supplied, installed and certificated. The certificate is the bit that matters when you are selling or leasing the place.

Split system air con

Split systems put in and wired up, so one person handles both the unit and the circuit feeding it.

Basic networking

Data cabling run while the walls are open, which is the cheapest time it will ever be done.

Power poles and mains

Private power poles replaced and underground mains run in on new builds. Trenching through to the board.

Not sure which of those it is? Ring me and describe it. I have talked plenty of people out of spending money they didn't need to.

Switchboards

This is what an old board looks like from the inside.

These are real photos off real jobs around here. A main switch terminal cooked black. A breaker burnt through until it fell apart in your hand. A board still running lights and power down one mixed circuit, hand written on the cover in texta decades ago. None of the owners knew until somebody opened the lid.

Charred terminals on the main switch. Heat like that has been building for a long time.
A circuit breaker burnt out and carbonised, held in a hand
The breaker that came out of it. That is not meant to happen to one of these.
An ageing switchboard with hand written labels reading light and power mixed circuit
Lights and power sharing one circuit, written on in texta. Common in houses of a certain age around here.
A new Hager switchboard installed and open, every circuit individually labelled

And afterwards

Every circuit on its own breaker, and labelled so you can read it.

Off peak, main switch, hot plate, oven, solar hot water, the solar itself, power, lights, air con. All separated, all on safety switches, all written on the board. When something trips at nine at night you want to be able to walk out there and read it, not guess.

Marion put it better than I can: she needed advice, I came out, saw what was needed and organised the upgrade. That is usually how these go.

Get your board looked at

Solar and battery

Panels are the easy part. The wiring is the job.

Anyone can bolt a rail to a roof. What decides whether a system is still running properly in ten years is what happens between the array and the board: how the strings are run, whether the isolators are mounted somewhere sane, whether the inverter can breathe, and whether the shutdown procedure is actually readable when someone needs it.

I do new installs, and I do repairs on systems somebody else put in. If yours has quietly stopped producing what it used to, that is worth a look before you spend money replacing it.

  • New rooftop and ground mount systems
  • Battery storage, put in at the same time or added later
  • Repairs and fault finding on existing systems
  • Solar hot water circuits run off the board properly

Three inverters on one board, out under the array, in among the tree ferns. Bigger systems need the room.

"Callan installed our solar and electrical system including a battery. He provided excellent advice, a fantastic install and competitive rates."

Where I go

Based in Cooroy, out across the hinterland.

I work out of a van, so there is no shopfront to visit. These are the areas I cover regularly. If you are just past the edge of that list, ring anyway and we will work it out.
