Elusion would like to acknowledge the current Covid 19 outbreak has caused a lot of stress among our communities. Be it concern for your own and families health or financial stress.

One of the benefits of Elusion being a small business is less exposure to the unknown and more control of the situations our staff are exposed to. Patrick is now carrying hand sanitizer in the truck and tool box and using regularly. As a family we are regularly washing hands and we expect our teens also to play the part to keep everyone well, especially as Patrick is potentially doing work for our customers who may be over 70 or at risk group.

We ask in return that if you are unwell just let us know in advance. There may be ways to do the job but reduce risk which is where we use Elusions PA/ ED Nurse Shan to assess if job should go ahead or be rescheduled. Shan is still on leave from ED post hip surgery so not at increased risk of infection either.

Elusion Electrical remains running at full capacity at present, and our March lighting specials are still running.

Again we would like to remind all our valued clients we consider power and hot water as essential. We will always prioritize power and hot water as urgent and for these we are available 24/7.
