Junee: a railway town with a working main street
Junee had 5,066 people at the 2021 Census, out of 6,415 in Junee Shire. It grew up as a railway junction, which the Roundhouse Museum still shows off, and the town is also home to Junee Correctional Centre. With more than 5,000 people in town, there are shops, offices and workplaces as well as homes, so the work is a mix of household and commercial.

What Junee homes need
Switchboard upgrades
If your board has ceramic rewireable fuses, no safety switches, a black "pitch" backing board, scorch marks or a burning smell, get it checked. The NSW Government recommends an electrician checks homes built before 2000. A new switchboard means RCD protection on every applicable circuit, which is the main safety gain. See switchboard upgrades, or use the switchboard estimate to see a price range for your number of circuits.
Boards made before 1987 may have asbestos in the backing board. That part is handled by a licensed asbestos removalist, and Nelson can advise. Our guide to asbestos switchboards explains why.
Cooling and heating
Like Wagga, Junee has hot summers and frosty winters. A new air conditioner usually needs its own circuit, and that is often what shows an old board is full.
What Junee businesses need
Test and tag. NSW WHS law requires equipment in hostile environments (moisture, heat, vibration, dust, damage) to be regularly inspected and tested. For other workplaces, frequency comes from a risk assessment and AS/NZS 3760:2022 guidance. The price depends mostly on how many items you have. See test and tag, or get a figure from the test and tag estimate.
Fit-outs and repairs. New tenancies, lighting upgrades and repairs to shops and offices. See shop and office fit-outs.

Common questions
How is a job in Junee priced?
The job is priced in writing before work starts, with travel from Wagga included. For switchboards, test and tag and EV chargers, the instant estimates work it out from your details and address. Fault finding is charged by the hour. For anything else, call Nelson or send the job through for a written quote.
How often does my Junee business need test and tag?
It depends on the environment. SafeWork NSW's general rule is at least every 12 months for hostile environments, 6 months for workshop and commercial cleaning equipment and 3 months for hire gear. Lower-risk offices and shops are tested less often. Our guide on how often to test and tag covers it.

Yes. The price depends on how many circuits you have. The instant estimate gives a range, and Nelson confirms it in writing. Any work on the service fuse or meter is done by a Level 2 ASP.
