Not all electrical products are created equal. From lighting and safety systems to switches and powerpoints, the quality of the components you choose can have a huge impact on the comfort, safety, and longevity of your home. 

When it comes to spending on the electrical gear that powers, protects and lights up your home, we believe it’s better to do it once and do it right. 

Whether you’re building from scratch, upgrading an old Queenslander, or giving your space a modern facelift, here’s some quality-focused, value-led info to keep in mind for choosing your electrical setup.

 

Switch ON to smarter electrical choices for your home

From ambient lights that brighten your home to smoke alarms that help keep your family safe, every electrical product plays a crucial role in your comfort and security. Below, we take a look at some essential products and equipment and our favoured brands.

1. LED Lighting

Not all LEDs are equal. While budget lights may look the same on the shelf, the real differences can illuminate over time.

Quality LED brands offer much better colour rendering (so your whites actually look white), more brightness stability, and much longer lifespans. The fittings don’t use plastic casing and guarantee to comply with Australian electrical standards. In other words, they won’t flicker, buzz, or burn out within the first year. 

Fully Wired will always recommend fittings we know will last and perform for years to come, such as Clipsal, Philips or GE from Beacon Lighting. These brands ensure less hassle and repair/replacement costs for you down the line. 

 

2. Switches & Powerpoints

Some switches and powerpoints often fail sooner due to flimsy internal mechanisms and poor material quality. Our recommendations ensure you get more bang for your buck, with stronger: 

  • Connectivity: Quality switches make solid internal connections, reducing the chance of short circuits or arcing.
  • Safety: Inferior brands can overheat quickly as they aren’t built for foolproof capacity, they’re built for quick convenience. The last thing you want in your home is a fire hazard.
  • Style & Finish: Premium brands come in a range of sleek, modern designs with colours and finishes to blend in with your home. 

Our electricians use top-quality brands we know inside and out – ones that can absolutely handle real-world usage without issue.

 

3. Ceiling & Exhaust Fans

Whether cooling down the living room on a stinking hot day, or clearing the shower steam in your bathroom, good fans do more than move air – they do it quietly, efficiently, and for the long haul. 

Fully Wired only install fans we know will keep your home cool and comfortable, day in and day out.

 

4. Smoke Alarms

This one’s a no-brainer. Smoke alarms are simply not where you want to cut corners, and Fully Wired takes your safety very seriously. 

We recommend and install Brooks smoke alarms, trusted by firefighters and professionals Australia-wide. They’re designed to meet (and exceed) Australian standards and integrate seamlessly across multiple alarms in the home.

  • Reliability: Brooks alarms are designed to respond faster and more accurately.
  • Connectivity: Interconnectable alarms mean if one goes off, they all do, giving you critical seconds to react.
  • Support: With local backing and excellent customer service, Brooks stands behind its products.

Don’t gamble with your family’s safety. Get smoke alarms that keep you safe, no doubt about it.

 

5. CCTV & Alarm Systems

A good security system does more than deter break-ins, it gives you total peace of mind day and night.

We work with Hikvision, one of the world’s most trusted names in CCTV and alarm tech.

  • Hikvision systems integrate seamlessly with your smartphone/s, offer remote access, and come with AI features like motion detection.
  • Get clear, high-definition footage, even at night.
  • Ongoing software updates and tech support from an established company.

Some systems out there may glitch, drop footage, or fail to record at critical moments. When it comes to home security, that’s a risk you don’t want to take. Ask our experienced team for advice on products and installation today.
