Powering Your Home, Inside & Out
Every home is different, so our residential services are designed to be flexible and stress-free. We handle all the essentials like lighting upgrades, air conditioning, power point repairs, hot water system servicing and full house rewires.
Building a new home? We’ll take care of everything from initial planning to final fit-off. We can also help modernise your setup with energy-efficient LED lighting, smart switches and upgraded switchboards that meet current safety standards. If you’re having issues with your TV signal, fans, outdoor lighting or safety switches, we’ll get them working properly again quickly and affordably.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a small job or a full home upgrade, you’ll get quality work and down-to-earth advice every time. Reach out to our helpful team today and let’s get started.
What electrical work can a homeowner legally do in Australia?
In Australia, homeowners are not legally allowed to carry out most electrical work themselves. This includes wiring, installing power points or lighting fixtures, and working inside switchboards. The law is in place to protect homeowners from electrocution, fire hazards, and non-compliant installations. The only exceptions typically involve replacing light bulbs or operating appliances that plug into wall sockets. Any electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will ensure the job meets current safety regulations and provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety upon completion.
How often should I upgrade my home’s switchboard?
Switchboards in older homes—especially those built before the 1990s—often need to be upgraded to meet today’s safety standards. If your switchboard uses ceramic fuses, trips frequently, or doesn't have safety switches (RCDs), it may be time for an upgrade. Modern switchboards improve electrical safety, reduce fire risks, and are essential for handling the load from modern appliances like air conditioners, ovens, and electric hot water systems. An electrician can inspect your board and recommend the best upgrade plan based on your home's current and future power needs.
What is involved in a full house rewire?
A full house rewire involves replacing all existing electrical wiring, power points, switches, and possibly the switchboard throughout your home. This is often necessary in older properties where wiring has deteriorated, insulation has become brittle, or the system no longer meets safety regulations. During a rewire, the electrician may also install new lighting, add extra power points, or prepare the home for solar or smart system upgrades. The process can take several days depending on the size of the home and is usually done in stages to minimise disruption.
