Our Electrical Services
One licensed team handles everything from a faulty power point to a full switchboard rebuild, with clear pricing before we start and a workmanship guarantee on every job. Pick a service below to find out more.
General Electrical
Faulty power points, ceiling fans, smoke alarms and everyday faults get sorted quickly and safely. Our general electrical team turns up fast with the right gear ready.
Residential Electrical
Renovated cottages and new townhouses each need work suited to their age and wiring. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Cafes and shops around the James Street precinct rely on power that will not let them down mid-trade. Our commercial electrical service keeps premises safe and compliant.
Electrical Repairs
When something stops working or behaves oddly, we track down the actual cause rather than guessing. Book electrical repairs for tripping circuits, dead outlets and salt-affected wiring.
Home Security Installation
Cameras, sensor lighting and alarm systems installed properly, not bolted on as an afterthought. Our home security installation service suits both hillside homes and beachfront units.
Light Installation
Downlights, LED conversions and outdoor lighting lift a home and trim the power bill over time. Our light installation team fits it cleanly, exactly where it is wanted.
Switchboard Upgrades
Older boards were never built for today's pools, aircon and appliance loads. A switchboard upgrade brings in safety switches and headroom for the whole household.
Smart Home Automation
Control lighting, power outlets and connected devices from your phone once it is wired correctly. Our smart home automation service keeps setups simple and genuinely safe.
Safety Inspections
Ahead of a sale, a new tenancy, or your own peace of mind, get the wiring checked properly. A safety inspection covers the board and every safety switch against current standards.
Data & Communications
Reliable internet, TV and network points are the backbone of a connected household. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More households nearby are adding electric vehicles at home. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Burleigh Heads Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Burleigh Heads is a low-to-medium-rise beachside suburb mixing older post-war fibro and brick-veneer cottages on the hill with newer rendered townhouses and boutique apartment blocks along the Esplanade and Gold Coast Highway. Much of the older beachfront stock has been redeveloped into units, so an electrician here moves between original hillside cottages, modern unit blocks, and the cafes and shops around the James Street precinct.
That older stock on the hill is where a lot of our switchboard work comes from. Many of these post-war cottages still run original ceramic fuse boards from the 1960s to 80s, installed well before safety switches were required on every circuit, so bringing them up to modern circuit breakers is a common job during a renovation or sale.
Locally, we know Goodwin Terrace and the streets off James Street and Connor Street as typical of the established hillside housing, while The Esplanade fronts the newer redevelopment near Burleigh Beach. Energex runs the network here, and whether your home backs onto Burleigh Head National Park or sits closer to Justins Park, the fix is the same: work done properly and left safe.
Emergency
When an Electrical Emergency Strikes, We Respond Fast
Certain faults cannot wait for a convenient time. Spot any of the following at home and it is time to cut the circuit and call us straight away:
- A burning smell near a power point
- Sparking or scorched outlets
- The whole house has lost power
- A safety switch that keeps tripping
- Wiring exposed or damaged after a storm
- Lights flickering in more than one room
Same-day and emergency service is what we offer, we are frequently on site within the hour, and we do not leave until it is genuinely safe. In the meantime, switch off the circuit at the board and stay clear of it.

Common Electrical Issues We Fix Across Burleigh Heads
Beyond the switchboard work covered above, a handful of other issues turn up again and again on the suburb's older and renovated properties. Here is what we see most often:
- No Safety Switches Many of Burleigh Heads' longer-held original homes were never fitted with RCD safety switches on every circuit, which we identify and correct on every visit.
- Renovation Rewires The strong renovate-and-rebuild trend in this sought-after beachside suburb means dated coastal cottages are regularly gutted and fully rewired to modern standards.
- Pool and Spa Circuits Houses set back from the beach commonly have pools and spas, and these need dedicated, compliant circuits with proper bonding that older boards were never built for.
- Overloaded Power Points Beachfront units and renovated homes loading up on aircon and modern appliances often show up as warm switches or points that trip under load.
