Electrical Intelligence - Electrical Services for the Modern World
Our Sustainable Energy Solution
We believe the future of energy is clean, green and sustainable.
At Steel Electrical, we are passionate about efficient energy. From solar production, to efficient consumption, and everything in between! We also know that many people share our conviction. Which is why we have put together a comprehensive 4-step Sustainable Energy Solution.
How it works.
We’ll meet with you, understand your goals, and then conduct a sustainable energy audit that outlines your current situation. Along the way, we’ll analyse any roadblocks you may have and then determine a cost to get past them.
We can take any project from initial design, through to full installation and on-going maintenance, giving you peace of mind that specification, costs and schedule are always under control.
1. ENERGY GENERATION
Produce clean solar ‘fuel’ for your system.
We believe the generation of solar power is the crucial starting point for anyone seeking a sustainable energy solution. Steel Electrical is one of Auckland’s leading solar system experts, and we have the expertise to design and install a clean, green, reliable system that fuels your energy requirements. We provide solar solutions for all building sizes, from small houses to large commercial developments and off-grid installations.
2. ENERGY STORAGE
Keep all the power you produce.
Investing in a solar battery allows you to store all the excess power that your solar system generates during the day, instead of sending it back to the grid. Then at night, you can use the energy that you’ve stored earlier. So simple. So effective. Plus you’ll have back-up power if there’s an outage in your area.
3. ENERGY CONTROL
Change the way you use energy. Change the way you live.
You’ve produced and stored clean energy. Now it’s time to use that energy in the most efficient way possible. Steel Electrical help you achieve this by utilising the latest smart control technology and products. This technology can simplify your life too – by automating many of the tasks that you usually do yourself. Controlling the climate in your home is a great example. Instead of reaching for a remote every time you feel hot or cold, we can programme a system that automatically keeps your home at the desired temperature - adjusting air-conditioning and ventilation. And raising (or lowering) blinds to control natural heat in your house. This lifestyle-changing technology can take care of many other tasks too.
4. ENERGY INNOVATIONS
Use less energy with more efficient products.
If you’ve committed to solar power generation, storage and smart control, it makes sense to reap the rewards by using energy-efficient products. For example, heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient heat and cooling sources, reducing power bills and lowering the impact on the environment. Likewise, LED lights can use up to 85% less electricity and last up to 15 times longer than traditional technology. Steel Electrical can recommend and install a wide range of energy-efficient appliances, hot water systems and home ventilation systems that offer significant cost savings.
SPECIALIST SUSTAINABLE SERVICES
If connecting to an existing electrical network is not a viable, due to distance and/or cost, Steel Electrical are experts at installing off-grid solutions. Understanding your requirements is the first step. Big? Small? Appliances? Heating? Lighting? Back-up generators? It all adds up and it all requires a design and install that is fit for purpose.
Plug-in electrical vehicles are here. And for good reason! Transportation accounts for around 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions. On top of that, electrical vehicles can be run on the equivalent of 30c per litre of petrol.
But charging them takes more than just running an extension cord into your garage! EV Chargers for electrical vehicles (at home or work) have specific electrical requirements, such as correctly rated cables and correct switchboard set-up.
New ‘bi-directional’ charger technology has also seen a revolution that allows energy to flow two ways. This turns your electric vehicle into an emergency power source.
Steel Electrical are experts at installing and maintaining these systems. Plus we can future-proof new buildings by putting EV capable wiring in place, ready for an EV charger to be plugged-in at a later date.
