General Residential Electrical Services

Need an extra power point or better lighting in a room? I'll make it happen.

That extension cord running across the room? The desk lamp because there's no overhead light? Let's fix that properly. I'll put power points exactly where you need them - beside beds, behind TVs, in that corner where you charge everything. For lighting, I can help you choose the best options. Whether you need downlights to brighten a dark room or dimmers for movie nights, I’ll guide you based on your space and budget. Quick tip: adding power points to brick walls takes longer than plaster walls - I'll let you know which is which before quoting.

If something's not working right, I'll track it down and fix it properly.

Electrical faults are like solving a mystery. A flickering light could mean a loose connection, a bad switch, or something worse. I use proper test equipment (not guesswork) to find the actual problem, then explain what I've found in normal language. Sometimes it's a five-minute fix, sometimes we uncover dodgy DIY work that needs proper attention. Either way, I'll show you what's wrong, explain your options, and let you decide. If it's dangerous, I'll tell you straight - no scare tactics, just honest safety advice.

I'll make sure your home's protection is up to today's standards.

Safety switches save lives. That's not marketing, it's fact. They cut power in milliseconds if something goes wrong. Many Canberra homes still don't have them on all circuits, or have old ones that don't work properly. Circuit breakers protect your wiring from overload. If yours are tripping regularly, we need to find out why. It could be a fault, could be you're just running too much on one circuit. I'll test what you've got, explain what you need, and upgrade what's necessary.

Great for renovations or older homes. I'll bring your wiring up to scratch.

Old wiring isn't just unreliable, it can be genuinely dangerous. Pre-1980s homes often have undersized cables, deteriorating insulation, or creative DIY additions. During renovations is the perfect time to fix this. Walls are already open, so it's much less disruptive. I can also rewire lived-in homes room by room to minimise disruption. Fair warning: this isn't cheap work, but it's essential for safety and insurance purposes. 

I'll always give you options from "minimum to be safe" to "let's do it all properly while we're here."

I keep your home's power hub safe, tidy, and compliant.

Your switchboard is command central for your home's electricity. A well-maintained board means clearly labeled circuits (so you know what to turn off), properly secured connections (no fire risk), and room for future additions (solar, AC, etc.). I'll check everything's tight, test safety devices actually work, and tidy up any mess from previous work. If I find problems, I'll photograph them, explain what needs fixing, and give you options. Some things are urgent, some can wait - I'll be honest about which is which.
