Test and tag is the name given to the process of checking the safety of portable electrical appliances. Once tested, the item is tagged to confirm that it has in fact been tested, along with showing who tested it, the test date and when the next test is due.
Australian standards recommend particular test and tag frequencies based on the nature of the appliance and environment it is operating in.
We guarantee honest, reliable service on all work carried out by our team. As parts and materials are not manufactured by us, the warranties on these will always fall back on the supplier and their terms and conditions.

Programmable logic controllers (PLC) are computerised systems used in industrial processes to monitor devices and make decisions based on their output. These are an essential component in automating operations that normally require human guidance.
That depends on how old your current appliance is and if it is still efficiently completing the tasks you need it to. Another point is to compare the cost of repair against the initial price you paid for the appliance.
If the cost of repair is getting higher as more work and replacement parts are required, it may be time to consider investing in a new unit. Before making a decision, give our expert team a call for reliable advice.

This term refers to a system that is completely self-sufficient and does not rely on the main electricity grid of the area. In addition to generating power, an off-grid system incorporates a battery bank, which stores excess energy to be used at any time. They often also have backup generators in case the battery levels get too low.
