One Electrician For The Whole Job

Most electrical problems we get called to are not really about one faulty light or one dead outlet. They are a symptom of a system that has been added to over the years without anyone stepping back to look at the whole thing.

We start by understanding what you are trying to achieve, then tell you plainly what needs doing now, what can wait, and what it will cost. You get a fixed price before we start and compliance paperwork when we finish.

Everything below is work we do every week across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, for homeowners, builders and business owners.

Fixed pricing

Quoted before we start. No hourly surprises on residential work.

Compliant work

Certificates of testing and compliance supplied where required.

One point of contact

You deal with Scott, not a call centre.

Switchboard Upgrades

If your board still runs ceramic fuses or has no safety switches, it is not just inconvenient, it is a real risk. We replace old boards with modern, clearly labelled boards with RCD protection on every circuit.

  • Ceramic fuse replacement
  • RCD and safety switch installation
  • Board relabelling and circuit testing
  • Capacity upgrades for solar, air conditioning or EV charging

Surge Protection

One decent storm can take out a fridge, a TV, a solar inverter and every phone charger in the house. A surge protection device sits in the switchboard and clamps the spike before it reaches your appliances, which is a lot cheaper than replacing them.

  • Switchboard mounted surge protection devices
  • Whole of home and whole of business protection
  • Protection for solar inverters and EV chargers
  • Point of use protection for sensitive equipment
  • Fitted during a switchboard upgrade or on its own

EV Charger Installation

A wall mounted charger on its own circuit will add several times the range per hour that a standard powerpoint manages, and it does it without running your house wiring at full load all night. We check what your switchboard and supply can actually carry, then install and commission the charger properly on a dedicated protected circuit.

  • Single phase and three phase wall chargers
  • Dedicated circuit with RCD protection and isolation
  • Load assessment and switchboard capacity upgrades where needed
  • Smart chargers set to run on off peak tariffs
  • Pairing with solar so you charge from your own generation
  • Garage, carport and outdoor rated installations
  • Commercial and strata charger installs

LED Lighting Installation

LED downlights, strip lighting, outdoor and security lighting. Swapping halogen for LED cuts lighting energy use sharply and removes a genuine fire risk in the roof space.

  • Halogen to LED downlight conversions
  • Kitchen, cabinet and stair strip lighting
  • Outdoor, garden and security lighting
  • Dimming and smart lighting control

LED Solar Skylight Installation

A solar skylight puts daylight into a dark hallway, bathroom or laundry without cutting a hole through the roof and ceiling for a traditional light shaft. A roof mounted solar panel drives a high output LED through a single small cable, so there is no structural work, no leak risk and nothing added to your power bill. Most units also carry a battery and a switch, so the same fitting works as a normal light after dark.

  • Solar powered LED skylights for hallways, bathrooms and laundries
  • No roof penetration for a light shaft, and no heat gain in summer
  • Runs entirely off its own panel — nothing on your power bill
  • Battery backup models for night time use on a wall switch
  • Dimmable and colour selectable fittings available
  • Ideal for rooms with no external wall or window

Smoke Alarm Installation

Queensland law requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway and level of the home. We supply, install and interconnect compliant alarms and test the lot before we leave.

  • Photoelectric interconnected alarms
  • Hardwired and 10 year battery options
  • Compliance for sales and rentals
  • Testing and replacement of expired alarms

House Rewiring

Older Sunshine Coast and Brisbane homes often still carry rubber or cotton insulated wiring. We stage full and partial rewires to keep you living in the house while the work happens.

  • Full and partial rewires
  • Replacing rubber and VIR cabling
  • Circuit separation and additional circuits
  • Staged works to suit occupied homes

  • Generator inlets and changeover switches
  • Essential circuit boards
  • Safe isolation from the grid
  • Sizing advice for your load

  • Cat6 data points and patch panels
  • Phone line repairs and extensions
  • Wi-Fi access point cabling

FAQs

Electrical Questions Sunshine Coast Homeowners Ask Us Most

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or a board that trips when you run the kettle and the air conditioner together are all signs it is due. We can assess it during any other job at no extra charge.

Can you do the work in stages?

Yes. Rewires and larger upgrades are usually staged so you keep power to most of the house while we work. We will map the stages out in the quote.

Do you supply the fittings or do I?

Either. We are happy to supply quality fittings at trade rates, or install what you have already bought, as long as it is compliant Australian stock.

Is a certificate of compliance included?

Yes, where the work requires it. It is issued on completion and you should keep it with your property records.

Do you work with builders on new homes?

Regularly. We can work to a build program, attend site meetings and coordinate rough-in and fit-off around other trades.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade before an EV charger?

Sometimes. A charger needs its own protected circuit, so if your board is full or has no spare capacity it has to be addressed first. We check the board and your supply before quoting the charger so the price covers everything the job actually needs.

Does a solar skylight need a hole cut through my ceiling?

No. Only a small roof mounted panel and a thin cable, so there is no light shaft, no structural work and no leak risk. That is what makes them practical in a bathroom or hallway with no external wall.

How fast can you get to an emergency?

We run 24/7 callouts. Ring 0438 200 847 and you will get an honest arrival time, not a four hour window.
