With Full Compliance Restored
SBH Electrical completed a residential lighting installation and bathroom exhaust fan replacement project in Richmond, VIC, combining new light fitting upgrades with on-site fault diagnosis and compliance-focused maintenance.
The project required investigation before the full scope could be confirmed, because the bathroom exhaust fan fault was not straightforward and the work had to meet electrical safety and ventilation compliance requirements.
The result was a fully completed installation, restored functionality across key fixtures, and a compliant outcome that satisfied the client.

The Challenge
The client needed multiple electrical issues resolved in a single residential project, including outdoor lighting repairs, installation of new pendant lights and downlights, and restoration of a non-functioning bathroom exhaust fan. The work carried both technical and compliance implications because bathroom exhaust systems must operate correctly to meet required safety and functional standards.
The project was not a straightforward installation; it required on-site investigation before the root cause of the exhaust fan issue could be identified. The electrician had to diagnose the problem in real conditions rather than relying on an initial description alone.
From a practical perspective, the challenge involved combining upgrade work with fault-finding and repair. From a risk perspective, an improper diagnosis would have left the property with a non-compliant bathroom ventilation system and unresolved electrical performance issues.
The Solution
SBH Electrical delivered the project through a combined installation, maintenance, and diagnostic approach:
- Wired and installed pendant lights throughout the home.
- Wired and installed downlights throughout the home.
- Investigated the bathroom exhaust fan fault on site to determine why the unit was not operating.
- Diagnosed the issue as a unit failure rather than treating it as a simple surface-level malfunction.
- Replaced the bathroom exhaust fan unit to restore proper operation.
- Addressed outdoor lighting issues as part of the wider electrical works.
- Completed all work with electrical safety and compliance in mind, especially in the bathroom environment.
- Combined residential upgrade work with fault-finding capability to resolve both planned and unplanned issues in one job.

- 1 residential property serviced in Richmond, VIC.
