Punctual, polite, professional and well priced. The group did an excellent job working through my list of repairs: ceiling fan; smoke detectors; exhaust fan; switch board; and air con unit. I’d happily use Electrx for any future jobs and recommend to friends.

I hired Electrx to install a couple of outdoor lights (with sensors), a motion sensor for an existing car port light, hard-wired doorbell camera, additional GPOs in the kitchen and converted existing recessed ceiling downlights into pendant lights which turned out great! Bill provided a reasonable quote for these works and he and his colleague did the works with care and attention to detail. They also helped me setup the doorbell camera and adjust the light sensors. Izzy was also great to deal with in the lead up to the day of the works. Everyone was responsive and provided details and answers to my questions. Highly recommend and would return again 💫

The work Bill did adding two extra power points and hiding my HDMI cables was so good, he even helped with cable management which is beyond. I also had a EV charger installed which he got done with no problems at all. Thanks so much!!

Very happy with the service from Electrx. The team was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They took the time to understand my needs and recommended an EV charger that was better suited to my usage rather than simply installing the original option. The installation felt personalised to my home and requirements, and the workmanship was excellent. I really appreciated their honest advice and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

I can't speak highly enough of Bill and the work he did today. Not only did he quickly identify the problem, but he also fixed it efficiently and professionally. He took the time to explain everything, was great to deal with, and offered a very fair price. I was so impressed with his knowledge, honesty, and workmanship that he'll be our electrician from now on. A genuinely nice bloke who really knows his trade. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician.

Electricians who know Sunshine North’s housing stock

Sunshine North is mostly post-war brick veneer, solid homes built in the 50s, 60s and 70s that have been lived in hard and added to over the decades. A lot of these homes are now housing two or three generations under one roof, with granny flats going up in backyards and extensions being added to make space for the whole family. The electrical infrastructure in most of them was never designed for any of that.

Electrx are based in nearby Brooklyn and work across Sunshine North regularly. We know the Powercor network in this area, we know what’s inside these walls, and we give you a straight answer about what needs doing rather than overselling the job.

  • Switchboard upgrades and safety switch installation
  • Sub-board installation for granny flats and extensions
  • Supply upgrades, single to three-phase, or increased capacity

The electrical reality of Sunshine North homes

The switchboards in a lot of these properties are original, ceramic fuse boxes from the 1960s or 70s, wired for a house that ran a few lights, a fridge, and maybe a single electric hotplate.
Tripping fuses, flickering lights under load, and circuits that can’t handle two appliances running at once are the symptoms.

The cause is a switchboard that’s decades past its useful life with no safety switch protection. When it blows a fuse, there’s no automatic disconnection, the fuse just eventually gives out, which is a different thing to an RCD cutting in before something goes wrong.

Outdoor lighting in Sunshine North — security, landscaping, and getting it right first time

A lot of homes in this area have either no outdoor lighting or a single floodlight on a sensor that’s been there since the 90s. For a suburb where multi-generational households are the norm and people are spending real money on their properties, it’s worth doing properly.

Security lighting, sensor-activated floodlights covering the driveway, side gates, and back yard, is the practical starting point. But we do a lot of low-voltage garden and path lighting in Sunshine North too, particularly for homes that have had landscaping done and want the yard to actually look good after dark.

A few things that catch people out: outdoor lighting needs weatherproof fittings rated for the exposure, GPOs need to be RCD-protected, and any wiring that runs underground needs to be done to AS/NZS 3000. We quote outdoor lighting properly so it doesn’t become a fault-finding job two years down the track.

sunshine north Electrical Work FAQ’s

At minimum: a sub-board in the granny flat with its own circuits, RCD protection, and smoke alarms. Before that can happen, your existing main switchboard needs to be assessed to confirm it has the capacity and the available circuits to feed a second dwelling. If it doesn’t, the switchboard gets upgraded first. If your overall supply capacity is the limitation, a supply upgrade through Powercor is part of the process. We can walk through all of this with you before your builder starts quoting.

That’s a sign the circuits are being overloaded, replacing the fuse just resets the symptom, not the cause. A ceramic fuse box also has no RCD protection, which means there’s no automatic disconnection if there’s a fault on a circuit. A switchboard upgrade replaces the fuse box with a modern board, adds safety switches, and gives you proper circuit capacity for how the house is actually being used. Worth doing before it becomes an emergency.

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. For security, sensor-activated LED floodlights covering the driveway, side access, and backyard are the practical starting point, positioned to cover the angles that matter rather than just wherever the cable happens to reach. For landscaping and path lighting, low-voltage LED systems give you a lot of flexibility. Either way, fittings need to be weatherproof rated for outdoor exposure and any underground cabling needs to meet AS/NZS 3000. We’ll design it properly rather than just putting lights where they’re easiest to run.

Yes, and it usually makes sense to do both together. When we’re already on site doing switchboard work, running new outdoor circuits adds minimal cost compared to booking a separate job. If you’re also adding circuits for a granny flat or extension, that’s the ideal time to get outdoor lighting scoped in as well.
