Electricians for Carindale family homes
Carindale sits on Brisbane’s east side around Westfield Carindale, Old Cleveland Road and the green corridor of Bulimba Creek. Most of the suburb was built through the 1980s and 1990s, so the streets are full of large brick-and-tile family homes, many two-storey with a pool, alongside newer townhouse and unit complexes.
Homes of this age were wired for a very different household. The original switchboards often have only one or two safety switches, and the circuits were never planned for ducted air conditioning, induction cooking, pool equipment, home offices, solar or an electric vehicle. Halogen downlights, tired outdoor lighting and old security systems are also common.
We help Carindale families upgrade in the right order, starting with safety, so the home is ready for the next 20 years. Every job comes with a fixed price before we start.
