Just like anything else in life that is mechanical or electrical, Cbus does breakdown sometimes. When it does, you need someone who has experience and the right knowledge on how to fix it. At Connect Power & Cabling we have become specialist and experts in the repairing of Cbus systems.

We have been installing C Bus for some 28 years now and have hundreds of jobs in our database that we have initially done or been to for upgrading, to fix or repair. Cbus is in thousands of homes or businesses in Australia and overseas and really the number of failures is low considering just how much of the product is out there.

Not all Clipsal C Bus installers or programmers are the same. Some rarely get to work on Cbus, some are just electricians who want to “get into it”, some are AV or IT technicians who do it as a side to their normal day to day work and some are only Cbus programmers and do not understand how to fix it when something goes wrong. When it does go faulty, electrical connections and electrical fault finding are involved. You need someone who is also a licensed electrician with extensive Cbus experience to assist.

At Connect Power & Cabling, we are electrical contractors, licensed electricians and are certified Clipsal/Schneider partners for the Cbus range of products through their EcoXpert programme.

We also did the first C-Bus approved residential high rise on the Gold Coast, a luxury town house development in Toowong in Brisbane. Some of our commercial jobs have been a 75 acre nursery completely controlled and run through Cbus with 10 Cbus networks over fibre optic controlled by a Cbus server via 40inch touchscreens. Four renovated office blocks for the Gold Coast City Council that have Cbus controlling the lighting for energy efficiency requirements.

We have even been to Japan to do and large restaurant in Yokohama where we did the lighting design and control system with C-Bus.

Many of our clients have been with us a long time as well. We recently had a client who bought a large 7200sqm existing home at Sanctuary Cove that didn’t have Cbus and it was a frustrating having to remember and control the lighting from large keypads with no identification and walking all over the house to turn lights off and on in different areas.

We rewired all the common areas and extensive outside lighting onto Cbus where they could have switches placed and labelled exactly how the wanted with features like “Goodnight” buttons that could turn all those lights off from their bedroom no matter where they were turned on from.
