I have always wanted to start my own business and when I was informed that things were slowing down in Bass Strait I thought it was the perfect opportunity to go out on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working from 7am-5pm, Billy is also available for call outs when needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a pretty well-rounded sparky, there\u2019s not much that I haven\u2019t worked with and I will soon be licensed in solar too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI offer power and lighting to new homes and renovations, undergrounds, switchboard upgrades, sheds, home entertainment systems, antennas, security, data points, repairs and general maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy takes pride in his work, often using light to its potential in any room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it sounds corny, but I really love standing back at the end of a job and admiring what I have done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take a lot of pride in my work and when it pleases my clients I get a real kick out of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a pretty keen eye for style. Lighting is a very important aspect of maximising a room or alfresco area, so I am very keen on specialised lighting and placement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to book, phone 0437 851 329, email lightningelectricalco@outlook.com or find Lightning Electrical Co on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIGHTNING Electrical Co, based in Armstrong Creek, is owned and operated by passionate local Billy Hughes.
