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
Harbourside units and older cottages each need work suited to their age and wiring. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Shops and clubs around Wharf Street and Bay Street 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 points and salt-affected outdoor 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 houses and harbourside apartments.
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 mid-century boards were never built for today's 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 household or unit. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More households nearby are adding electric vehicles at home. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Tweed Heads Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Tweed Heads sits right on the border at the mouth of the Tweed River, the southern half of the Twin Towns with Coolangatta. It mixes mid-century coastal cottages and brick-veneer homes with a large stock of units, apartments and holiday high-rises clustered near the border and Jack Evans Boat Harbour, reflecting the suburb's strong retiree and tourism appeal. That mix means an electrician here moves between original 1960s houses, harbourside apartment blocks, and the clubs and shops around Wharf Street.
The older stock is where a lot of our switchboard work comes from. Ageing units and mid-century homes across the suburb often need a full switchboard upgrade to meet modern load and safety-switch requirements, since many dwellings built before RCD mandates still lack a safety switch on every circuit.
Locally, we know Wharf Street, Bay Street and Boundary Street as typical of the older housing mix, while Minjungbal Drive carries much of the through traffic past Tweed Mall. Jack Evans Boat Harbour and the headland at Point Danger, home to the Captain Cook Memorial Lighthouse on the border itself, sit close to some of the harbourside homes and units we service. Wherever your property sits, near the water or back from it, the fix is the same: work done properly, to standard, and left safe.

Common Electrical Issues We Fix Across Tweed Heads
Beyond the switchboard work covered above, a handful of other issues turn up again and again on the suburb's older and harbourside properties. Here is what we see most often:
- Flickering Lights Older wiring in longer-held Tweed Heads homes and unit blocks can loosen at the switchboard over time, showing up first as lights that flicker or dim under load.
- No Safety Switches Many of the suburb's older dwellings from before RCD mandates were never fitted with a safety switch on every circuit, which we identify and correct on every visit.
- Renovation Rewires Renovations of older Tweed Heads cottages and unit blocks frequently trigger a partial or full rewire to bring cabling up to modern standards.
- Salt-Air Corrosion Properties near the water at Jack Evans Boat Harbour and Point Danger see outdoor points, meter boxes and switchgear corrode faster than homes set back from the coast.
