Our problem: No customers Our solution: A new brand to launch VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrades) specific marketing material from. In order to protect the TEIGE Electrical brand from a somewhat negative sentiment shared by some about the VEU program, we decided to create another to
The NEW kid in town
We’ve set up a new website (freelights.com.au) specifically for the services we provide under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. It’s mostly the same as what is available here, it just looks a little different. Our VEU upgrades in Bendigo will continue to be provided
New products! more freebies!
A device retailing for $129, can be installed for Victorians, FREE! Many of you have asked, and we’ve had it in the pipeline a while, but finally, we can offer these handy-dandy Bluetooth power monitors (or “Wireless In-Home Display” as we call them). Essentially, it
Can you still get free light globes?
Of course! We still carry a range of LED retrofit globes for the common lighting sockets in Victorian homes. Along with other lighting products used in Victorian Businesses, with a much broader range.
Commercial Installations
As we grow our business we are expanding our offering of commercial installations. For more information on how your business can get access to energy efficent lighting products at heavily subsidised (and potentialy free) prices check out our page here: Commercial Lighting Upgrades.
Happy Birthday… to us.
Often thought we were crazy to begin trading in the midst of the uncertainty during a global health pandemic…. …we were. But we’re not giving up. Today marks 12 months since we began enacting the plan that would bring TEIGE to fruition. We’ve now been
Veteran Owned (and operated)
Some of our existing clients may already know, that we are an Australian Veteran-Owned (and operated) small business. Having transitioned from Defence some years ago, the owner is rather passionate about ADF veteran advocacy and support. After leaving Defence, the owner/director was employed in varying
Real-World Energy Savings
We have been careful to not get suckered into listing percentage gains in advertising material, especially when it comes to energy consumption for the free LED upgrades. Many undoubtedly do it, and that is fine, but you really need to read closely to understand what
Many clients ask what we do with your old lights…
The short answer to that question is; “we decommission the equipment so it can’t be used again, then we dispose of the remains responsibly”, a more detailed response is provided below. Many lighting products (with the exception of the globes themselves) have multiple components, they
Smoke Detectors
They are so incredibly important! I think everyone knows that they are an important safety device for the home. They will literally save you, and your loved ones’ lives, if they are functioning. After being in so many Victorian homes recently, installing LED light globes
Current trading restrictions
Just as last time, we are limited in our ability to trade through these restrictions. VEU upgrades are on pause. We are still available for emergency work, should you require us!
Counting sheep…
This month saw another great little project completed for TEIGE. Replacing more than 50 light fittings in a sheering shed was an exciting and at times challenging (the right kind of challenge!) task that led to some fantastic results. By replacing the traditional fluorescent fittings
Last chance to get in for the LED light globes while they are FREE
Changes are coming to the VEU scheme for lighting upgrades, which means we may no longer offer the upgrades for free. The good news is; thanks to our last lot of trading restrictions, we have had at least another month added to the scheme before
Bettering workplace ergonomics through lighting upgrades
Recently, TEIGE Electrical completed an installation in an educational setting here in Bendigo. Removing 82 fluorescent troffers, we went about installing the 82 LED panel, drop-in replacements. From a whopping 72W per fitting, down to just 18W will be a huge saving in their energy
Update: COVID-19 Victorian trading restrictions. Good news and bad.
First, the bad. As our Victorian clients will be well aware, on the 27th of May 2021 the acting premier announced a lockdown for Victoria, this included trading restrictions that precluded us from attending customers in their homes. Subsequently, EnergySafe Victoria (ESV) issued specific guidance
How easily a good idea, can turn into a disaster
Firstly, I want to stress that some assumptions have been made herein. We are not fire investigators, nor do we hold any formal qualifications to make the claims we do. We only offer what appears to have happened from our experiences in conducting electrical work.
Commercial Installs
If you follow our socials, you probably already know that lately, TEIGE has been hard at work completing some commercial lighting jobs under the VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrades) program. Having completed a couple of retail outlets in the Bendigo region, we thought we better make
Weekends!
We know that many work busy weekday schedules that preclude us from making ourselves available for an electrician to visit, just to install some free LED globes. So, we are opening a couple of slots for installations on Saturdays. Like you, we like our time
