Fresh Air and Bright Lights: A Seamless Bathroom Upgrade in Mont Albert North
When Deborah in Mont Albert North noticed her bathroom feeling damp and gloomy, she knew it was time for an upgrade. The old oyster light fitting was outdated and positioned near a timer switch, making it difficult to install proper ventilation. Combined with poor airflow and dull lighting, the space felt uncomfortable and inefficient. That’s when she contacted O’Shea Electrical, trusted Melbourne electricians with a reputation for quality workmanship and reliable solutions.
Modern Ventilation for a Healthier Bathroom
After assessing the setup, our team of experienced electricians in Melbourne recommended installing a Steady DC 24/7 Exhaust Fan with Remote Control from Mercator. This modern, energy-efficient unit runs quietly and continuously to improve air circulation and reduce moisture build-up, an essential feature for any bathroom.
Our qualified technicians began by carefully removing the old oyster light fitting and creating a new opening for the exhaust fan. Because there was existing timber framing in the ceiling, we adjusted the placement slightly to ensure a secure and tidy fit. The fan ducting was neatly directed toward the eave for optimal ventilation, and we mounted the remote control conveniently beside the door for easy access.
This bathroom exhaust fan installation not only improved airflow but also enhanced comfort and long-term protection against mould and dampness, a small upgrade that makes a big difference.
Lighting Installation That Combines Style and Function
Next, our Melbourne electricians turned their attention to the outdated halogen lighting. The bathroom had four old 70-millimetre halogen downlights that produced excess heat and consumed more power than necessary. To modernise the space, we enlarged the holes to 90 millimetres, installed new plug bases, and supplied stylish 90-millimetre tri-colour LED downlights.
These new fittings offer the homeowner flexibility to select warm, neutral, or cool light tones — perfect for creating the right mood, whether relaxing in the bath or getting ready for the day. The result was a bright, energy-efficient lighting setup that dramatically transformed the look and feel of the bathroom.
At O’Shea, we handle every lighting installation with precision and care, ensuring the right products are chosen for each space and that all wiring complies with current safety standards.
Safety and Switchboard Upgrades
Every home improvement project is an opportunity to check electrical safety. During this installation, our team also reviewed the home’s existing switchboard to ensure it could support modern electrical loads. Older homes, especially those undergoing renovations, often benefit from switchboard upgrades to maintain safety and reliability.
By keeping the electrical system up to date, homeowners can protect against tripping circuits, power faults, or even electrical fires. Our electricians can advise when an electrical switchboard upgrade is due and provide professional installation using quality materials.
