Gear specified for the cliff, not the catalogue
Anything going on the outside of a house here is chosen for an exposed southerly aspect rather than to a generic spec. That is the difference between replacing it once and replacing it every few years.
Published on our Google Business Profile, word for word.
Luke did a great job and was very flexible and understanding of our needs. He listened and was very helpful in explaining answers to our questions. I would highly recommend his work.
Luke was on time, considerate upon entering the house, and has a pleasant, friendly manner. He also gave excellent advice and suggestions/options for solving the problem, without "pushing" for one or the other. NEXTPOINT Electrics is to be highly recommended.
Luke at NextPoint was fantastic. Arrived on time both times he's done work, texted first to say he was on his way. Very quick, efficient and tidy with both jobs and a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.
Luke was super efficient and communication on point. Came around the next day to quote for all ceiling fans replaced and was all done in less than a week. Highly recommend Luke and Nextpoint Electrics!
Absolutely terrific to work with. Luke’s professional manner coupled with friendliness, all the while keeping us updated on progress. Have no hesitation in recommending Luke.
Really impressed with Nextpoint Electrics! Friendly, professional, and got the job done promptly. Highly recommend for anyone needing an electrician you can trust.
Surf Coast, covered from the Bellarine
Jan Juc sits 6 km south of Torquay on the open coast, its beach held between Rocky Point and Bird Rock with high cliffs either side. We come from Ocean Grove, out through Barwon Heads and down past Torquay, which is a coastal run rather than a trip out of the city.
We cover the whole of 3228, and Torquay, Bellbrae, Barwon Heads and the rest of the Surf Coast with it.
No call out fee, a fixed price agreed before anything starts, and a lifetime workmanship warranty. REC 346464.
What can we help with?
From a cliff-top weekender that was only ever wired for summer to a board sized for an estate house. Here is what we do most in Jan Juc.

Got questions? We have answers
Yes. We come from Ocean Grove, out through Barwon Heads and down past Torquay, which is a coastal run rather than a trip out of the city. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
All of it, the whole 3228 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. That takes in the streets above the cliffs, the newer estates toward Spring Creek and the Bells Beach end, and none of it is far enough out to be worth charging you extra for.
We come from Ocean Grove, out through Barwon Heads and down past Torquay, which is a coastal run rather than a trip out of the city. We do not promise a set response time, but you get a straight answer on the phone and a time on the day rather than an all day window.
Outside, yes. Jan Juc is open Bass Strait off a cliff top, so the salt load is constant rather than seasonal. Salt corrodes metal and it does not need to be sea spray to do it: outdoor power points, light fittings, switchboard enclosures and the screws holding them up all age faster here than they do inland. What fails is usually the fixing or the seal rather than the fitting itself.

Jan Juc is the stretch of coast immediately south of Torquay, six kilometres down and a world of its own: a beach held between Rocky Point and Bird Rock, high cliffs either side, and an ephemeral creek that finds its way through the dunes in the middle. It is a surfing town before it is anything else, and Bells Beach is the next headland along.
It has grown quickly and recently. The population was 3,683 at the 2016 census and 4,151 by 2021, and the housing estates have pushed north far enough that Jan Juc now almost joins Torquay across Spring Creek. That makes for a town of two halves electrically: original houses up near the cliffs, many of them built as weekenders and improved a bit at a time, and estate housing on the Torquay side where the wiring is new and the question is what the board has left on it.
Cliff-top exposure is its own category. This is not a sheltered bay, it is open Bass Strait with a southerly straight onto the escarpment, so the salt load on anything mounted outside is constant rather than seasonal. Outdoor points, deck and garden lighting, meter boxes and switchboard enclosures all want specifying for that position, and the fixings want to be stainless rather than whatever came in the box.
The other practical thing about a surf town is that a lot of houses here are let out or used part of the year. A place that sits quiet through winter and then runs at capacity through January is being asked to do two different jobs, and the faults that surface in the busy weeks are usually things that were already marginal months earlier.
The practical version for a Jan Juc owner: if the house is one of the older ones near the cliffs, start with the switchboard and with whatever is mounted outside, because those are where the age shows first. If it is an estate house, the useful question is how much the board will carry before the next thing goes on it.
One thing peculiar to the cliff streets. Most outdoor work here was specified to a general standard rather than for this position, and what gives way is the fixing or the seal rather than the fitting. If you are replacing something outside for the second time, the fitting was probably never the problem.
