Meet Shane
The person who quotes the job is the person who turns up to do it — here's a bit more about how that came to be.
I started out as a comms tech — installing phone lines, data, TVs and antennas — picking up experience along the way with names like Telstra, Ausgrid, Lendlease, Downer, Harvey Norman Commercial, Dick Smith Mobile, Tech Experts and Geeks2U, and later working alongside CBRE, Precision Fire, LPG Fire, Silant, Rivernet, Streamvision, NBN, Shopper Media, Soniq Commercial, AVMS, Complete AV and Mandoe Media — just to name a few.
But being the comms guy wasn't enough. I kept hearing “while you're here, can you also do this power point?” and having to say no because I wasn't licensed. So I bit the bullet, completed a mature‑age electrical trade with Ausgrid, and the rest is history.
These days I'm best known for getting your internet from A to B to C to D and making sure it's rock solid — I genuinely love it. Whatever the job, I want you to feel heard and understood first, confident in the solution second, and like we actually made a difference by the time we leave.
My wife and I moved to Wilton for a different pace of life, away from the hustle of the city — we love the nature, the people, and it's a genuine pleasure to serve this community. For specialised work I bring in trusted subcontractors — antenna and roof installers, high‑end AV and PA specialists, commercial electricians and data specialists — so every job gets the right expertise, not just whoever's available that week.
“Anything is possible with enough time and money.”
— Shane Hood, Director
Away from work: three kids, a very supportive wife, one dog and two chickens. Days off usually mean tinkering with remote control cars and boats — and any excuse to get to the beach or out in the bush.
Trusted on national hotel roll-outs
Alongside residential and small-business work, Hood Electrical delivers network, Wi‑Fi and AV upgrades for major hotel groups — working with partners including Honey Badger, Streamvision, Reivernet and Silant.
