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
Beachfront apartments and the odd standalone home each need work suited to their build and wiring. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Shops and venues around Pacific Fair and the Oasis 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 highrise units and beachfront homes.
Light Installation
Downlights, LED conversions and outdoor lighting lift an apartment or home and trim the power bill over time. Our light installation team fits it cleanly, exactly where it is wanted.
Switchboard Upgrades
Older tower and walk-up boards were never built for today's aircon, pool 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 apartment or home. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More residents nearby are adding electric vehicles at home. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Broadbeach Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Broadbeach is a high-density beachfront resort suburb dominated by mid and high-rise apartment towers built from the 1980s onward, intensifying around The Star and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre. Rendered concrete and glass curtain-wall construction predominate over the older low-rise stock, so an electrician here moves between original walk-up blocks, modern towers, and the cafes and shops around the Oasis precinct.
That older stock is where a lot of our switchboard work comes from. Many of Broadbeach's 1980s and 1990s high-rise and walk-up apartment blocks still run boards sized for a lighter era, and they frequently need upgrades to safely carry modern unit loads and meet current standards. It is one of the most common jobs we do across the suburb.
Locally, we know Surf Parade and Old Burleigh Road as the beachfront strip, with Albert Avenue and Hedges Avenue typical of the residential blocks set back from Kurrawa Beach. Whether your power comes through Energex to a 1980s walk-up or a newer tower near the Broadbeach South light rail terminus, the fix is the same: work done properly, to standard, 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 in your apartment or 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 home 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 Broadbeach
Beyond the switchboard work covered above, the beachfront setting and older apartment stock throw up a handful of other issues again and again. Here is what we see most often:
- Old Switchboard Fuses Salt air off Kurrawa Beach degrades older outdoor switchboards and rewireable fuse boards on beachfront blocks, prompting earlier replacement than inland suburbs.
- No Safety Switches Older unit blocks predating mandatory RCD rules often still have circuits without safety switches, flagged during apartment renovations and sales.
- Pool and Spa Circuits Resort towers and complexes across the suburb run pools and spas, whose dedicated circuits and bonding need regular compliance work in the salt-laden environment.
- Overloaded Power Points Units loaded up with aircon, entertainment gear and modern appliances often show up as warm switches or points tripping under load.

Most jobs are booked same-day, and genuine emergencies are often reached within the hour. Call us and we will give you a clear arrival window straight away.

How does electrical pricing work?
You get clear pricing before any work starts, with options explained by your technician on site. Our workmanship guarantee stands behind every finished job.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Total loss of power, a burning smell, sparks from an outlet, or a safety switch that keeps tripping all qualify as urgent. Switch off that circuit and call us.
Do you service all homes in Broadbeach?
Yes, from original low-rise apartments to the high-rise towers near The Star and Pacific Fair. Every property gets the same licensed team and service standard.
