Upgrading Robertson family homes
Robertson is a small, predominantly residential suburb between Sunnybank and Mount Gravatt, close to Toohey Forest and Griffith University’s Nathan campus. Most homes are brick and timber family houses built from the 1960s to the 1980s on good-sized blocks, and many are being renovated, extended or rebuilt.
These homes are well built, but their electrical installations are showing their age. Original switchboards often have limited safety switch protection, and the circuits were designed long before ducted air conditioning, induction cooking, pool equipment, solar and electric vehicles. Renovations are the ideal time to fix this, and even without a renovation, a few targeted upgrades make a big difference.
You get licensed electricians who look at the whole house, explain the options clearly and give you a fixed price before starting.

Residential electrical work in Robertson
Renovations and rebuilds
We work with owners and builders on Robertson renovations and knock-down rebuilds, quoting from plans, planning supply and switchboard location, and completing rough-in and fit-off to schedule.
Upgrades for established homes
For homes not being renovated, we upgrade switchboards, replace halogens with LEDs, add power points and circuits for air conditioning, and install pool and outdoor power. Before adding solar, batteries or an EV charger, we check your supply and board so everything works together.
Home offices
For residents working from home we add dedicated circuits, good lighting and data cabling. For commercial premises in nearby centres, see our commercial electrical services.
Large blocks and long cable runs
Robertson’s generous blocks are great for pools, sheds, granny flats and big gardens, but they often mean long cable runs from the main switchboard. Undersized cables can cause voltage drop, overheating and nuisance tripping. We size cables properly for the distance and load, add a sub-board with safety switch protection where it makes sense, and make sure outdoor equipment is properly protected. If you are planning a secondary dwelling, we can check whether your supply needs upgrading before building starts.
