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, wherever your home sits around the canals.
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
Waterfront houses and newer townhouses near the district centre each need work suited to their age and wiring. Our residential electrical crew handles both, with pricing agreed before anything starts.
Commercial Electrical
Shops around Treetops Plaza and Stockland Burleigh Heads 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 salt-affected wiring.
Home Security Installation
Cameras, sensor lighting and alarm systems installed properly, not bolted on as an afterthought. Our home security installation service suits waterfront blocks and inland streets alike.
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 suburb's first estate stages were never built for today's pools, aircon and pontoon 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 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. Our data and communications team cables phones, ethernet and antennas neatly.
EV Charger Installation
More households across the estate are adding electric vehicles at home. Our EV charger installation service sizes the circuit correctly and wires it to standard.
What Burleigh Waters Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Burleigh Waters is a planned canal-and-lake estate developed in stages from the 1970s and officially named in 1981, built around spacious family homes on waterfront blocks with later townhouse and unit infill near the district centre. An electrician here moves between original canal-front houses, newer builds, and the shops and schools that anchor the suburb around Treetops Plaza.
The tidal link to the Broadwater and Pacific Ocean is what sets this suburb apart. Waterfront homes with pontoons and jetty power sit in salt-laden air year round, and that exposure corrodes switchgear, meter boxes and outdoor power points faster than it would inland, so marine-grade fittings are the standard fix rather than the exception. Original 1970s and 80s houses from the first estate stages also commonly need a switchboard upgrade to add modern safety switches and capacity.
Locally, we know Galeen Drive, Christine Avenue and Bermuda Street as typical of the canal-estate housing, while Dunlin Drive backs onto Burleigh Lake Park. Energex runs the network here, and whether your home fronts a canal or sits closer to Stockland Burleigh Heads, the fix is the same: work done properly and left safe.

Common Electrical Issues We Fix Across Burleigh Waters
Beyond the switchboard and salt-air work covered above, a handful of other issues turn up again and again on the suburb's canal-estate properties. Here is what we see most often:
- Pool and Spa Circuits Large family homes on waterfront blocks commonly have pools and spas, and these need dedicated, compliant, RCD-protected circuits that older boards were never built for.
- Renovation Rewires Older waterfront homes are frequently renovated or extended, which triggers partial rewires and extra circuits to carry the added load.
- Overloaded Power Points Family homes running pumps, pontoons and modern appliances off one circuit often show up as warm switches or points that trip under load.
- Flickering Lights Ageing connections in original estate homes can loosen over time, showing up as flickering across more than one room.
