Most shutters in Monash are motorised, and most of the faults we attend here start with the electrics rather than the mechanics. The suburb was built through the 1980s, so a fair number of the original motors and controllers are now well past what they were ever designed to do.
We cover Monash across the 2904 postcode, from the streets near the local shops through to the Wanniassa, Gowrie, Oxley and Isabella Plains boundaries. Anywhere in central Tuggeranong is on the same route.
Monash homes are mostly brick from the 1980s on regular suburban blocks. The shutters are a mix of original installs and later additions, and the electrical side tends to fail before the mechanical side does.
It is worth knowing that a shutter which has gone completely dead does not automatically need a new motor. We check the supply, the switch, the controller and the pairing before condemning anything, because in a lot of Monash homes the real fault sits upstream and is far cheaper to put right. Where the motor genuinely has failed, it is normally a swap that can be done without dismantling the curtain or disturbing the rails. On a shutter of this age it is worth having the springs and guides looked at during the same visit, since they have done the same number of cycles as the motor and are rarely far behind it.
