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
Established brick-veneer homes and newer townhouses each need work matched to their build. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Ashmore City Shopping Centre and nearby tenancies rely on power that will not let them down mid-trade. Our commercial electrical service keeps premises safe, compliant and open.
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 ageing switchboard faults.
Home Security Installation
Cameras, sensor lighting and alarm systems installed properly, not bolted on as an afterthought. Our home security installation service suits family homes across the older estate streets.
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
Original boards from the 1980s and 90s were never built for today's aircon, pool and appliance loads. A switchboard upgrade adds safety switches and headroom for the 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 family home. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More homeowners across the area are adding electric vehicles to the driveway. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Ashmore Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
This suburb took shape as a planned area from the 1970s after the original village estate, with the bulk of its detached brick-veneer homes built through the 1980s and 90s, plus ongoing townhouse and unit infill on the estates either side of Southport-Nerang Road. It is a settled, central Gold Coast residential pocket rather than a new-build area, and an electrician here spends most days moving between original family homes and newer townhouse complexes tucked in behind them.
That original 1980s and 90s wiring is where a lot of our work comes from. A good share of these homes still run their first switchboard, and many predate mandatory safety switches, so fitting RCD protection across every circuit is one of our most common local jobs. That original wiring is also steadily being renovated, driving added circuits and rewires in kitchens and outdoor areas as families update their homes.
Locally, we know Currumburra Road and Cotlew Street as key routes through the older estate streets, running near Ashmore City Shopping Centre, with Benowa Road linking through to Southport and Benowa. Whether your power comes through Energex to an original brick-veneer home or a newer townhouse, the fix is the same: work done properly, to standard, and left safe.

Common Electrical Issues We Fix Across Ashmore
Beyond the switchboard work covered above, this mix of established homes and newer townhouses throws up a handful of other issues again and again. Here is what we see most often:
- No Safety Switches Homes built before safety-switch mandates, common across Ashmore's older streets, frequently lack RCD protection on every circuit, and we fit it as standard.
- Pool and Spa Circuits Larger family blocks in the older estates commonly have a pool or spa, and each one needs its own compliant, dedicated circuit rather than sharing an already stretched board.
- Overloaded Power Points Older boards asked to run modern appliances, aircon and entertainment gear often show up as warm switches or points that trip under load.
- Storm-Related Faults Intense Gold Coast storm season downpours can put sudden load and moisture through ageing wiring, making storm-related callouts a regular part of our work here.
