Our Residential Electrical Services Here
Renovation Rewires
Older cottages and unit blocks near Wharf Street get rewired as they are renovated, bringing tired cabling up to current standards behind new fittings and finishes.
Additional Circuits
Kitchen, bathroom and living area upgrades usually need extra circuits, and we wire these in alongside your other renovation trades without disrupting the rest of the home.
Safety Switch Retrofits
Many older units and cottages here predate mandatory safety switches, so we retrofit RCDs to protect every circuit rather than leaving one shared switch covering the whole board.
Body Corporate Common-Area Work
Strata blocks near the harbour need lighting and safety switches maintained across shared stairwells, car parks and common areas, and we handle this for body corporates.
Switchboard and Meter Box Replacement
Salt-laden air off the coast corrodes switchboards and meter boxes faster than inland suburbs, so we replace worn enclosures as part of a full switchboard upgrade.
EV Charger Circuits
Retiree homes and units fitting an EV charger need a properly sized circuit, and we assess the board's capacity before wiring it in safely.
Why Residential Electrical Choice Matters for Local Homes
Housing here runs from mid-century cottages to holiday-style units and townhouses, and getting the wiring choice right protects the whole property for years to come:
- Older units and cottages often predate mandatory safety switches on every circuit
- Salt-laden air near the coast shortens the life of outdoor points and switchboards
- Renovations frequently uncover wiring that no longer meets current standards
- Body corporate common areas need the same safety-switch protection as private units
- Workmanship and materials vary significantly between electricians
Left unaddressed, ageing circuits behind a wall can lead to flickering lights or overloaded power points, so it pays to have a licensed local sort it properly from the start.
Common Residential Electrical Problems We Fix
Ageing wiring in older cottages and units
Many cottages and mid-century unit blocks near Bay Street still run original circuits, and renovation is the natural point to bring wiring up to current standards.
No safety switch protection
Units and cottages built before RCDs were mandatory sometimes still lack one, and we retrofit safety switches so a fault cuts power in milliseconds instead of causing harm.
Circuits outgrown by renovations
Extra appliances and new living areas often overload the original board, and we add capacity so overloaded power points stop being a daily issue.
Corroded switchboards and meter boxes
Salt-laden air off the ocean and river ages outdoor switchboards and meter boxes faster than inland suburbs, and we replace corroded gear with sealed, marine-grade equipment.
Tripped circuit breakers during storm season
Summer storms can expose weak points in an older board, and a tripped circuit breaker is often the first sign a circuit needs attention.

What standards does residential electrical work meet?
All work is completed to the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, the national standard for safe wiring, circuits and switchboards in homes.

Yes. Many older Tweed Heads units and cottages predate mandatory safety switches, and we retrofit RCDs during a sale, renovation or standalone visit.
