Dan the Sparky Man Chooses Tigo for Own Home Solar

by | Jul 1, 2021 | Uncategorized

Solar energy is always a great investment, for the environment and for your bank balance, and with so many solar companies offering quality products and installation, it’s a no-brainer. The only question is, who should you turn to when you need a solar installer for your own property? The decision could mean the difference between a dodgy job and an investment that effectively services your property for years.

Dan Carpenter, director of Dan the Sparky Man, knows a few things about power and the output from different solar technologies. When it came time to install solar power on his own property in Queensland, he had no hesitations in choosing Tigo Energy. Here are the reasons why:

Easy installation

When Dan installed Tigo TS4-A-O optimizers in his home, an easy installation process was the first benchmark of success. “The installation of the TS4-A-O was easy to follow and the setup on the Wi-Fi monitoring was clear and step by step,” he said.

If you’re considering installing solar in your home or having a qualified electrician do the job for you, they’ll appreciate the simplicity of the process with Tigo.

Maximum energy output despite a complex block

You can only rely on solar power to support your household energy needs if your property receives enough light, and complex blocks or building designs can make this very difficult. Dan’s property, for instance, includes large sections of steep roof at mixed orientation. In situations like these, Tigo’s innovative solar products can help. Tigo Optimisers optimise energy output and minimise losses caused by shade, degradation, and mismatched modules, among other issues.

Monitoring capabilities

Homeowners with solar power installed need to know that the system is producing the power they need, hence monitoring features are very important. The module level monitoring feature included with Tigo optimizers was key to its appeal, as it enabled Dan to monitor each panel and system individually and measure the power each one produced. This unique benefit sets the software apart from others on the market.

In the Tigo monitoring portal, Dan can also view the Reclaimed Energy – or amount of additional energy production that the Tigo optimizers have enabled during each hour of the day. Again, this unique feature allows system owners and installers to quantify the energy benefit that Tigo optimizers provide.

Strong long-term performance

Solar power is the kind of investment that homeowners and investors expect to last, and in this regard, Tigo solar products deliver. In fact, Dan says the solar installation has delivered consistent energy production from the very beginning. “I have had it installed for years, being in the business and where I live it is very beneficial for my home,” he said.

The Importance of Having the Smoke Alarm System Installed in Your Commercial Property

by | May 19, 2021 | Blog

 

A smoke alarm system is one of the things that every commercial property should include, and not just because building owners are legally obliged to install one. Though the primary function of any smoke detector is to send a signal in case of fire, there are also a few other reasons why every commercial building should incorporate these devices. If you are already well aware of their significance and you are looking for a service that will perform a quick and highly professional fire alarm system installation, feel free to get in touch with Dan the Sparky Man. Otherwise, keep reading to learn more about the importance of smoke detectors for commercial properties.

 

 

Enhanced Life and Property Security

The smoke alarm is a device that detects fire indicators in the building and signalises danger to its occupants, and in most cases, it is tailored to meet the requirements of a specific property. 

Today, many commercial buildings link smoke detectors to safety systems. In these cases, if something starts burning in your workspace, your system will notify emergency services and turn the sprinklers on. This is the fastest and most effective way of protecting yourself, your employees, and your property in the event of a fire. To make sure your fire detector is properly installed, contact our smoke alarm QLD installers. You can be sure our experts will provide you with top-notch service. 

Early Detection and Swift Response

The purpose of the fire alarm installation is to raise safety on your commercial property, but how does it work? Probably the most important thing a smoke alarm does is detecting a potential threat early. This helps everyone at the premises to avoid inhaling excessive amounts of smoke and lessens the likelihood of serious damage to your property. 

No matter the design of the fire detection system at your commercial property, its main purpose is to alarm emergency services or trigger some sort of extinguisher such as sprinklers. That way, you will be able to react quickly and prevent catastrophe. To make sure your fire detector is working this way, we suggest you hire our smoke alarm Brisbane service.

Shorter Recovery Time and Reduced Property Loss

Unfortunately, there may be times when we are not able to react on time to prevent the damages caused by fire. In those situations, a smoke alarm can play a crucial role. Sirens and strobe lights will not extinguish the fire, but they warn you of the danger as early as possible and alert firefighters and other people who can help. Though this may not prevent losses completely, it can reduce them and help you get back to business as usual.

As we already mentioned, they will quickly react and do their best to save your building and everyone in it. 

 

Cost-Effectiveness

Yet another reason that makes a fire alarm system installation so important is cost-effectiveness. Even though it may seem pricey, the advantages this type of device brings along are far more valuable. You can be sure an effective and well-functioning smoke detector will reduce your costs to the minimum.

Not only will a well-maintained fire detection system help you to save your valuable assets, but it will also eliminate any worries about inspection fines and may even lower your insurance premiums.

If you are looking for someone to provide you with premium installation and maintenance services, then our smoke alarm Brisbane team is at your disposal. Give them a call or send an inquiry, and hire the most skilled commercial electricians in Brisbane.

Electrical Wiring Updates to Consider During a Home Renovation

by | May 18, 2021 | Blog

A surge in solar installations has taken the south-east Queensland region to more than 250,000 homes with rooftop solar – and the total inverter capacity to more than 800MW. With more and more education on the benefits of solar power, many residents are taking advantage of it…and it’s showing no signs of slowing down! The suggestion that solar is no longer a good investment due to the tariff changes could not be further from the truth. While incentives have been reduced, the upfront price of solar power systems has also been reduced. Solar has actually never been more affordable (especially at Dan the Sparky Man seeing we offer no interest payment plans on all of our systems) and it is increasing in popularity as depicted below.

March saw 3,250 rooftop solar arrays officially metered, and another 4,000 applications for solar panels were received according to new data from Energex. That makes rooftop solar in the south-east corridor managed by Energex the sixth biggest power station in the state. In fact, more than 11 per cent of total residential power consumption in the area is now sourced from embedded generation – namely rooftop solar. This recent data from Energex delivers some other interesting insights also. One is that the actual amount of money paid out for feed in tariffs is declining. That’s because around 700 homes changed owners, meaning that their rooftop systems changed from the old 44c/kWh rate to the 8c/kWh rate. That is bringing the average feed in tariff down to 37.5c/kWh. Sources: Renew Economy So, if you have been considering getting solar power or would like to know a bit more about it, please do not hesitate to contact us today. With the feed-in tariff now sitting at 8c per kWh (less than you pay to import electricity), it is now more important than ever to have a professional accurately size a system to meet your need for electricity. At DTSM, we employ only fully licensed, Master Electricians, who are also accredited for solar installations by the Clean Energy Council of Australia, to install and maintain your system. We are one of the preferred installers for Origin Energy and have installed thousands of systems right across the Gold Coast and surrounding regions.

Which Air Conditioning System You Should Choose For Your Office?

by | May 17, 2021 | Blog

 

An AC system can improve your workspace in numerous ways, especially when the summer sun hits hard. However, before you hire someone to install it, you will have to make sure the AC device you have chosen is suitable for your office. 

Fortunately, Dan the Sparky Man has an experienced team of Gold Coast air conditioning technicians who are ready to help you choose the best air conditioning system for your business premises – but before you dive in, let’s consider the different options available to you!

 

 

Duct Air Conditioning

This type of air conditioning is the first choice for many office building owners due to its aesthetically pleasing design. The small louver grilles also make these units easy to camouflage.  

It’s worth noting that the duct AC system is pretty expensive in comparison to other solutions, and the reason is that it includes more parts. Additionally, while these units will fit into a wall in certain offices without any trouble, others will require that you suspend the ceiling to create extra space. Because of that, many experts recommend ducted air conditioning units for new buildings or renovating projects.  

Ultimately, as duct air conditioners can be adjusted to fit your office space, these units are perfect for anyone who considers the aesthetic appeal of their office interior to be a priority. 

Split Air Conditioning

If you are looking for the cheapest AC system solution for your office, then the single split aircon is the one for you! This type of unit uses less electricity than other types of air conditioners, reducing your energy bill and saving you money in the long run.  

The split system also has its unique perks; for example, the AC is capable of providing heating or cooling to specific parts of the room, and if one unit in the system breaks down, others will stay functional. 

Beyond the office, this type of AC system is also suitable for other types of small commercial buildings like cafes, restaurants and shops.  

Just keep in mind that this system requires more space since you will need to install one conditioner outside of the building for every unit you place inside.  

Wall-Mounted AC

Wall-mounted AC, also known as mini-split AC, includes only one unit that you will need to mount on the wall. This device has to be fixed so that the air is directed downwards.

This is a great solution for small offices. It can also be used in medium-sized workspaces – just keep in mind that you will probably have to use more units for bigger spaces. 

Furthermore, if you are looking for this type of AC installation for a bigger office, make sure that the air conditioners are positioned so that everyone inside will get the most of it.  

The main perceived disadvantage is that you cannot alter this type of unit to fit your office design. Wall-mounted air conditioners are long, thin, and in most cases, white. Still, if you are someone who cares about the workspace aesthetics, you may change smaller details such as the colour of the unit. However, even if you aren’t a fan of the look, you can ask your electrician to set it up higher on the wall so that it is less noticeable.

Ceiling-Mounted AC

Also known as cassette air conditioners, a ceiling-mounted aircon is one of the more costly solutions for your office. Like duct AC systems, they can be installed in suspended ceilings. This means that they can be somewhat camouflaged, but not completely – the facial panel will still be in the view. 

Ceiling-mounted air conditioners are great for large spaces where you need well-balanced cooling systems. They also have singularly controlled louvers that can direct the air in specific directions.  

Whatever choice you make, you should ensure your AC system is properly installed. For that, you will need assistance from a licensed electrician, so we suggest talking to the specialists at Dan the Sparky Man. With their great experience and high level of skill, you can be sure they will provide you with an excellent Gold Coast AC installation service.
