Common auto electrical jobs in Artarmon
Artarmon's industrial area is one of the few on the lower North Shore, so it draws trade and service vehicles from across the region. Media businesses around Gore Hill add specialist vehicles to the mix.
Inverters and power for trade vans
Trades based around Reserve Road and the Artarmon industrial area often need power on site for chargers, small tools and laptops. A properly sized inverter, wired directly to the battery with the right cable and a fuse, does the job. Undersized cable is a common cause of inverters cutting out under load. Running a high-draw inverter for long periods with the engine off will flatten the battery, so a second battery may be needed.

Power for production and AV vehicles
With a major broadcaster headquartered on Broadcast Way at Gore Hill, Artarmon sees vans carrying cameras, lighting and audio gear that needs reliable power on location. Auxiliary battery systems with DC-DC charging and quality inverters let crews run equipment without idling the engine. Battery monitors help crews know how much power is left. Our guide on DC-DC chargers versus isolators explains which suits a modern van.

Work lights and interior van lighting
Early starts and late finishes in the industrial streets mean trades want good lighting in the back of the van and over the work area. LED strip lights in the cargo area draw little power and make finding parts easier. Rear-facing work lights help when loading in the dark. All of it should run through a switched, fused circuit, ideally with a relay, so it can't drain the battery if someone forgets to turn it off.

Apartment cars and the commute
Residents in the high-rise buildings west of the railway often catch the train and leave the car parked for days. That leads to the same flat battery problems seen in the inner city, especially in winter. A quick test shows if the battery is weak or the car has a draw. Our guide on how to charge a car battery covers the right charger and safe charging in a car park.

Artarmon auto electrical questions
What size inverter do I need for my van?
Add up the wattage of everything you'll run at once, then allow extra for tools that draw a surge on start-up. Many trade vans manage well with 1000 to 2000 watts. Bigger inverters need heavy cable and a battery that can supply the current. If you're running it with the engine off, plan battery capacity too.
Can an auto electrician install 240V outlets in my van?
An auto electrician can supply and wire the 12V side, including the inverter and its battery feed. Portable inverters with built-in outlets are common. Fixed 240V wiring, such as power points built into the van's walls, is electrical work that must be done by a licensed electrician to meet safety standards.
Local tip for Artarmon
If your business is in the Artarmon industrial area, plan van fit-outs during quieter weeks rather than in busy periods. A good inverter or auxiliary battery install can take most of a day, especially when cable needs to run the length of the van. Booking ahead means less time with a van off the road.
