Who we are

CAQA Voltline Electrical, electrical contracting, electronics, refrigeration and renewables

CAQA Voltline Electrical is a licensed electrical contracting business that installs, tests, services and maintains electrical, electronic, refrigeration and renewable energy systems for commercial, industrial and residential customers across Melbourne, Geelong and central Victoria. The work ranges from switchboard upgrades and commercial fit-outs to cold room fault finding, rooftop solar and battery installations, security and data cabling, and scheduled test and tag and emergency lighting programs. Customers include cold storage operators, owners corporations, schools, dental practices, shopping centres, aged care providers and engineering workshops. Voltline employs sixteen apprentices and takes pride in training the next generation of tradespeople.

The business is organised into six departments. Electrical Contracting runs new installations and projects from the Braeside head office, with a Geelong branch for the western region. Service and Maintenance operates a fleet of eleven service vans across the three sites on a 7:00 am to 4:00 pm roster with an after-hours on-call electrician. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Solar and Battery, and Electronics, Security and Communications are specialist teams that share the Braeside workshop and stores. Safety, Quality and Business Support looks after licensing, training, safety, quality, scheduling, purchasing, payroll and invoicing for the whole business.

Nobody works live

Every circuit is isolated, locked, tagged and proven dead before work starts. There is no job urgent enough to break this rule.

Test everything, certify honestly

Every installation is tested to the Wiring Rules and the results are recorded exactly as measured. A certificate is a promise to the customer and the regulator.

Grow good tradespeople

Apprentices are taught properly, supervised closely and given real responsibility as they earn it.

Leave it better

Sites are left clean, customers are told plainly what was done and why, and refrigerants and waste are handled so the environment is protected.
