Dean and Sam have entered the PRO division for the Brisbane Hyrox… yes, you read that right… PRO.

For context, this is the level for people who actually know what they’re doing.
Dean and Sam, however, are bringing vibes, determination, and questionable decision-making.

Think less “elite athletes” and more “just trying to survive and not pull a hammy by station three.” Somewhere between a 200kg sled push and a farmers carry of 64kg, there’s a high chance they’ll be rethinking this entire life choice.

All jokes aside, they’re raising money for mental health, something that impacts so many people and is well worth getting behind.

If you’d like to support and help get them across the finish line, please consider donating. https://www.raceforimpact.com/en/t/deans-team

For International Women’s Day - let’s Give to Gain. We can help forge gender equality through abundant giving, in so many forms.

The give to gain campaign encourages a mindset of generosity, collaboration, and reciprocity. When we give, we gain. And when women thrive, we all rise 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/IWD2026

🍂Autumn Energy Saving Tips ⚡️

Cooler mornings are here, but your power bill doesn’t have to rise with the temperature drop! Try these easy ways to save energy this Autumn:

☀️ Let the sunshine in - open curtains during the day for natural warmth.
🪟Close up at night - shut curtains and blinds to keep the heat inside.
🌡️ Set heaters smartly - keep them between 18-22 degrees for comfort and efficiency.
🔌 Switch off standby power - turn appliances off at the wall when not in use.
👚 Use the autumn sun - dry clothes outside instead of using the dryer.

Small changes at home can make a big difference to your energy bill this season! 💡

Armidale — Level 1 Water Restrictions are Here! 💧

With hot, dry conditions and dam levels dropping, Level 1 water restrictions are now in place across the Armidale region — meaning it’s time to save every drop! 🚿🌱

At O'Brien Electrical and Plumbing, we’re here to help you make smart water choices that protect our water supply and your wallet.

🔧 Top Water-Saving Tips for Homes Under Level 1 Restrictions💦

Here’s how Armidale households can reduce water use and comply:

🏡 Outdoor Watering

• Water lawns & gardens only in allowed times (early morning or late evening, avoid the heat) — this reduces evaporation. 💦
• Use trigger-nozzle hoses or watering cans for greater control. 💧
• Aim for deep, infrequent watering — it’s better for plants and saves water. 🌿

🚿 Bathroom & Daily Habits

• Keep showers short — 4 minutes or less where possible. 🚿
• Install water-efficient shower heads and tap aerators to reduce flow without losing pressure. 🔧
• Turn off taps while brushing teeth, shaving, or soaping up. 🪥
• Use half-flush toilets when you can. 🚽

🧼 Kitchen & Laundry
• Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full — and use eco settings. 🍽️👕
• Place a plug in the sink when rinsing veggies to avoid running water. 🥦

🔍 Fix Leaks & Check Gear
• A dripping tap or running toilet can waste hundreds of litres — call us to fix them fast! 🛠️
• Consider installing drought-tolerant plants or mulch in gardens to retain moisture. 🪴

💡 Bonus: Harvest rainwater and use greywater for gardens where council rules allow — just check local guidelines before installation. 🚰 🌦️
