Vale Park sits right beside Klemzig, across O.G. Road — when you call, you're not waiting for a van to cross town. I'm usually only a few minutes up the road.
Klemzig holds a genuine piece of South Australian history — founded in 1838 by German Lutheran settlers, it was the first German settlement in the colony. Today it's a compact, well-connected suburb wedged between O.G. Road, North East Road and the River Torrens, with the Klemzig Interchange as the first stop on the O-Bahn out of the city.
For an electrician, Klemzig is two suburbs in one. There are established post-war homes on generous blocks that commonly still carry an original switchboard and wiring never designed for RCD protection, and there's a steady run of newer townhouse and homette infill going up street by street, replacing the older stock. The older homes usually need switchboard upgrades, safety switch retrofits and extra circuits; the newer builds bring warranty-era fit-offs, extra power points and lighting tweaks.
Klemzig's split housing stock means the calls run in two directions — post-war homes needing a proper upgrade, and newer builds needing the smaller finishing touches:
A Fourth Avenue property is a good example of how a Klemzig job can grow. It started as a full-property safety check, which turned up a tired switchboard, a couple of ageing exhaust fans and a kitchen dimmer that had been wired incorrectly at some point. I fixed what I could on the day — new LED tile lights, a new ceiling fan on its own circuit, two replacement exhaust fans and a 3-in-1 heat-light-fan in the ensuite — and relabelled the board while I was in there. A few weeks later the same property came back for the bigger job: a full switchboard replacement, into a new recessed Hager board with individual RCBO protection on every circuit, extended mains and submains, and a Certificate of Compliance to finish it off.
On Price Avenue I ran outdoor lighting to a covered alfresco area with provision for festoon lighting around the garden — a weatherproof socket outlet as the supply point, four LED battens in the roofed section, and a switch inside to control it. Straightforward outdoor work, but it needed proper weatherproof-rated fittings and a Certificate of Compliance lodged once it was done.

Klemzig's older post-war homes commonly still run a board with no safety switch protection at all, and that's exactly the setup that fails without warning. If the power's out, a safety switch won't reset, or something smells hot, that's an emergency call — not a wait-till-Monday job.

There's no office between you and me — I quote the job, and I'm the one who turns up and does it, whether that's a big switchboard replacement or a five-minute fault. Being based next door in Vale Park means that's rarely a long wait.

It's common on Klemzig's post-war streets, and it's worth addressing. A modern Hager switchboard with individual RCBO protection on every circuit is one of the most worthwhile upgrades an older Klemzig home can get.
