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. Waterfront homes especially benefit from marine-grade fittings and proper pool wiring. 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
Rebuilt canal-front homes and prestige island residences each need wiring suited to their scale. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
The cafes and shops along The Esplanade rely on power that will not let them down mid-service. Our commercial electrical service keeps premises safe, compliant and trading.
Electrical Repairs
When something stops working or behaves oddly near the water, we track down the actual cause rather than guessing. Book electrical repairs for tripping circuits, dead points and salt-affected wiring.
Home Security Installation
Cameras, sensor lighting and alarm systems installed properly protect waterfront homes and island properties alike. Our home security installation service suits canal frontages and quieter inland 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
Older canal-estate boards were never built for today's pools, pontoons 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 suits large rebuilt waterfront homes particularly well.
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, outdoor points 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 Paradise Point households are adding electric vehicles at home, including on the prestige islands. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Paradise Point Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Paradise Point sits right at the tip of the Broadwater, a village-style boating enclave where original canal-estate houses from the 1960s onward now sit alongside large rendered rebuilds and the prestige waterfront mansions of Sovereign Islands and Ephraim Island. An electrician here moves between older canal homes, contemporary rebuilds, and the cafes and shops along The Esplanade.
Salt is the defining issue. With homes fronting the Broadwater and its canals on almost every side, constant salt-laden air corrodes outdoor switchboards, meter boxes and power points far faster than it does further inland, and pontoon and jetty power for the suburb's many boats needs proper marine-grade, weatherproof fittings to hold up. Prestige waterfront homes on King Charles Drive and the islands commonly run pools and spas that need dedicated, compliant RCD-protected circuits.
Locally, we know King Charles Drive as one of Queensland's highest concentrations of million-dollar canal frontage, while Grice Avenue and the streets off Bruce Avenue are typical of the suburb's original canal-estate housing. Energex runs the network here, and whether your home backs onto Paradise Point Parklands or sits out on Sovereign Islands, 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:

Common Electrical Issues We Fix Across Paradise Point
Beyond the salt-air corrosion covered above, a handful of other issues turn up again and again on the suburb's older and rebuilt properties. Here is what we see most often:
- Old Switchboard Fuses Many original 1960s to 1980s canal-estate homes still carry ageing ceramic-fuse switchboards, and we upgrade them to modern circuit breakers and safety switches.
- Pool and Spa Circuits Waterfront and island homes commonly run pools and spas, and these need dedicated, RCD-protected circuits that older boards were never built for.
- Overloaded Power Points Rebuilt waterfront homes running modern appliances and ducted aircon often show up as warm switches or points that trip under load.
- Flickering Lights Storm-tide events and king tides around the low-lying Broadwater frontage can loosen connections and cause lights to flicker across a property.
