About us

A Penguin electrical business that started in a shed out the back

Brian Targett started the business in 2000, working out of a shed behind his home. He was studying three nights a week at TAFE for his contractor’s licence and working mornings for Australia Post, until there was enough electrical work to go full time.

Within twelve months he’d taken on his first apprentice. These days we run out of our shed on South Road in Penguin, with electricians on the tools and someone in the office keeping every job on track.

We’ve advertised in Yellow Pages since the very start, and in 2022 we were the cover of the Burnie book. We like backing the local clubs too, and put up a heat pump install as first prize in the Penguin Football Club raffle.

“Be prepared to put in the long days and don’t take short cuts.”
Brian Targett, owner

“What a treasure Jesse is, great job done, friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone. Even helped, with his great height, to change a light bulb for me.”
Marilyn Van DrutenGoogle review
“Brian is awesome and so very nice to my mum. They did a switch board and came back and installed a reverse cycle aircon. He explained how to use the equipment and helped my mum lock her cats up. Excellent job and would totally recommend them. Thanks Brian and thanks Rachel. Rachel's in the office and kept me updated.”
