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
Original detached houses and newer townhouse infill around the suburb each need work matched to their build. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Shops around Ashmore City Shopping Centre and Ashmore Plaza rely on power that will not let them down mid-trade. Our commercial electrical service keeps premises safe, compliant and trading.
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 estates.
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 1990s were never built for today's aircon, pool and appliance loads. A switchboard upgrade adds 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 family home. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More Ashmore households 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
Ashmore is a settled, central family suburb that took shape from the 1970s onward around the Ashmore Village estate, with the bulk of its detached brick-veneer homes built through the 1980s and 1990s and ongoing townhouse and unit infill on the estates either side of Southport-Nerang Road. That gives an electrician here a genuine mix of eras, moving between original family houses, later townhouse blocks, and the shops and schools that anchor the area.
The older detached housing is where a lot of our switchboard work comes from. Many of Ashmore's 1980s and 1990s homes still carry their original board, and homes from that build-out era often lack safety switches on every circuit, so switchboard upgrades and RCD retrofits are among our most common local jobs. Large family blocks across the estate commonly have pools, each needing its own compliant, bonded circuit, and settled households are steadily renovating, which drives rewiring and extra circuits in kitchens and outdoor areas.
Locally, we know Southport-Nerang Road as the suburb's main spine, with Cotlew Street and Currumburra Road running past Ashmore State School and the shops. Whether your power comes through Energex to an original house near Wardoo Street or a newer build closer to Ashmore Road, 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 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
- Exposed or damaged wiring 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 Ashmore
Beyond the switchboard work covered above, Ashmore's mix of established family homes and newer infill 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 earlier estates, frequently lack RCD protection on every circuit, and we fit it as standard.
- Pool and Spa Circuits Many detached homes on the suburb's larger blocks have pools or spas needing their 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 summer downpours and the odd surge through the network bring on tripped breakers and damaged outdoor wiring across the suburb.
