Smart Exhaust Fan & Switchboard Relocation – Greensborough Apartment Upgrade

Creative Electrical Solutions in Solid Brick Apartments

How We Overcame No-Cable Challenges with SAL Pixie Smart Controls

When it comes to solid brick apartments, traditional electrical installations aren’t always possible – especially when there’s no wall cavity to run new cable. That was exactly the challenge we faced in a recent Greensborough job, where the client needed a new exhaust fan system installed, along with an upgraded switchboard setup.

To get it done, our team at Cable & Connect got creative.

We supplied and installed a SAL Pixie inline exhaust fan, mounting it neatly inside a custom-built bulkhead. Since we couldn’t run hardwired switching, we paired the fan with a Bluetooth SAL Pixie wireless remote. The result? Clean, cable-free control with the same performance as a standard switch setup.

In the same apartment, we also relocated the switchboard. Previously located in the hallway and not compliant with current access regulations, we moved it into a nearby cupboard and built a front-facing bulkhead to make it easily accessible and up to standard.

✔️ Smart controls
✔️ Custom bulkhead construction
✔️ Regulation-compliant switchboard relocation
✔️ Neat finish in a challenging environment

Whether you’re working with a solid brick apartment, limited access, or an outdated setup – we bring smart, compliant, and good-looking solutions to Melbourne’s northern and eastern suburbs.
