Your home's wiring, done right the first time
Your electrical system is hidden in the walls, which is why workmanship matters. We plan circuits around how your family actually lives: where the AC goes, where the fridge sits, where you charge devices and work from home.
From a brand-new block house to a 40-year-old family home that has had "extensions on extensions," we bring order, safety and capacity to your power. Every job ends with testing and a clear walkthrough of what we did.
- Correctly sized cable and breakers for every circuit
- Proper earthing & bonding, the foundation of electrical safety
- Clearly labelled breaker panel so you know what controls what
- Ready for future AC, solar and generator connections
Residential services
New-build wiring
Full first-fix and second-fix wiring from plans: conduits, cable runs, boxes, panel, outlets, switches and fixtures.
Rewiring
Replace aged, undersized or damaged wiring in older homes. Partial or full rewires planned to minimise disruption.
Panel upgrades
Upgrade old fuse boxes or overloaded panels to modern breaker panels with room for AC, solar and generators.
Lighting
LED fixtures, recessed lights, ceiling fans, outdoor and security lighting, landscape lighting and motion sensors.
Outlets & circuits
Additional outlets, USB outlets, dedicated circuits for appliances, water heaters, pumps and AC units.
Inspection & fault-finding
Trips, dead outlets, flickering lights, shocks? We trace the fault, fix the cause and certify it's safe.
Home electrical health check
Tick anything you've noticed at home. We'll show how urgent it is and what to do next.
No warning signs selected. A routine inspection every 3–5 years keeps it that way.
Book an inspectionGuidance only, not a substitute for an on-site inspection. If you smell burning or see sparks, switch off at the main breaker and call us immediately.
A homeowner's guide
Understanding your breaker panel
The panel (or "distribution board") takes power from the JPS meter and splits it into circuits. Each breaker protects the cable on its circuit. It trips when too much current flows, before the wire overheats.
- Main breaker: shuts off the whole house. Know where it is.
- Double-pole breakers: feed 220/240V loads like AC units, water heaters and stoves.
- GFCI/RCD protection: trips on tiny leakage currents to protect people in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoors.
TipNever "upgrade" a breaker to a bigger size to stop it tripping. The breaker is matched to the wire. A bigger breaker lets the wire overheat.
Why earthing (grounding) matters
Earthing gives fault current a safe path to ground so breakers trip instantly instead of leaving metal parts live. It's also essential for surge protection, solar systems and sensitive electronics to work properly.
A proper installation uses a copper earth rod, correctly sized earth conductor, and bonding of metal water pipes and structures. Many older homes have weak or missing earthing, which is one of the most common issues we fix.
Protecting against surges
Lightning and grid switching (especially when power is restored after an outage) send voltage spikes through your wiring that can damage AC units, fridges, TVs and inverters.
- Whole-house surge protective device (SPD) at the panel
- Point-of-use protectors for electronics
- Good earthing, without which SPDs can't work
Building or renovating? Plan your power early
Involve your electrician at the plan stage, before blocks go up and concrete is poured. It's far cheaper to lay conduits in the slab and walls than to chase them in later.
- Mark AC locations and run dedicated circuits now
- Leave conduit and space for a future solar inverter and battery
- Pre-wire for cameras, Wi-Fi access points and a generator inlet
- Size the panel with 20–30% spare capacity
Signs you need an electrician
Burning or fishy smell
Overheating insulation often smells like burning plastic or fish. Switch off and call immediately.
Tingles or mild shocks
Indicates leakage or a missing earth. This is a serious safety risk.
Flickering or dimming
Loose connections or overloaded circuits, especially when the AC kicks in.
Frequent breaker trips
The circuit is overloaded or there's a fault. Don't keep resetting it.
Discoloured outlets
Brown or black marks mean arcing behind the faceplate.
Water damage
After leaks or flooding, have wiring and the panel inspected before re-energising.
How a house job runs
Walkthrough
We visit, discuss your needs and inspect the existing installation.
Plan & quote
Circuit plan and itemised quote, with options where they make sense.
Install
Neat cable runs, labelled circuits, and minimal disruption to your home.
Test & handover
Insulation, continuity and earth tests, then a walkthrough of your new panel.
How long does a full house rewire take?
A typical 2–3 bedroom home takes several days depending on access, wall construction and whether you're living in the house during the work. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the quote.
Do I need to move out during rewiring?
Usually not. We work room by room and restore power at the end of each day wherever possible.
Can you help with JPS connection paperwork?
We prepare the installation so it's ready for inspection and can advise you on the steps required for a new or upgraded JPS supply.
My breaker keeps tripping when the AC turns on. Why?
The AC is likely sharing a circuit or the circuit is undersized. AC units should have a dedicated, correctly sized circuit. We can add one quickly.
How often should a home be inspected?
Every 3–5 years, when buying a home, after major storms or flooding, and before adding large loads like AC, solar or a generator.
