Generator Installations and Changeover Systems for Homes, Businesses and Properties
Voltana assists with generator supplies, electrical connections, manual and automatic changeover arrangements, protection, isolation and distribution integration.

Assessment Before Action
Work Based on the Actual Electrical Requirement
Electrical work should be based on what is found at the property. Access, wiring condition, protective devices, supply capacity and connected equipment can all affect the final scope.
Where practical, the electrician explains the cause, recommended work and likely cost before proceeding beyond the agreed assessment or fault-finding stage.
Keep people away from sparks, smoke, exposed wiring, overheated components and water-affected electrical equipment. Isolate the affected supply only when it is safe to do so.
