🔧 Switchboard Upgrades & Replacements
Replace old ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers and safety switches.

Full compliance with current Queensland standards. Not sure if yours needs work? Read our guide to 10 warning signs your switchboard needs replacing.
Learn more →🛡️ Safety Switch & RCD Installation
Safety switches (RCDs) detect dangerous earth leakage current and disconnect power in 30 milliseconds — fast enough to prevent electrocution. Queensland law requires them on all power and lighting circuits. Aaron audits your switchboard and installs any missing RCDs to bring your home up to code. Find out how often you should test your safety switches.
Learn more →🔌 Power Point Installation & Upgrades
New power points, relocations, outdoor weatherproof outlets, USB charging points, and dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances. If you’re relying on power boards and double adapters, you need more outlets — overloading circuits is a fire risk. Aaron installs to AS/NZS 3000 with clean, concealed cabling.
Learn more →💡 LED Lighting Upgrades
Replace halogen downlights, fluorescent tubes, and old fittings with energy-efficient LED technology. Most homes see a 70-80% reduction in lighting energy costs. Aaron supplies and installs quality LED downlights, panels, battens, and dimmers — with proper thermal clearance for insulated ceilings.

Common Electrical Jobs in Capalaba Homes
Here are the electrical jobs Aaron handles most frequently across Capalaba and Brisbane Bayside — and what’s typically involved.
🏠 Older Home Electrical Upgrades
Capalaba has a mix of homes from the 1960s through to new builds. Older homes typically need switchboard upgrades (replacing ceramic fuses with circuit breakers), safety switch installation, additional power points to handle modern appliances, and sometimes partial or full rewiring where cable insulation has deteriorated.
🔨 Renovation Electrical Fit-Outs
Planning a kitchen renovation, bathroom update, or room extension? Aaron coordinates the complete electrical scope — new power point layouts, lighting design with dimmers, exhaust fan installation for wet areas, rangehood wiring, ceiling fan pre-wiring, and switchboard capacity checks. First fix and second fix timed to your builder’s schedule.
💡 Lighting Transformations
The fastest way to modernise a home’s look and reduce energy bills. Aaron replaces old halogen downlights with LED downlights, installs dimmer controls, adds outdoor garden lighting for entertaining areas, and designs layered lighting schemes that combine task, ambient, and accent lighting.
🧊 Air Conditioning Electrical
Adding air conditioning requires dedicated electrical circuits, switchboard capacity, and sometimes an upgrade to handle the additional load. Aaron is both a licensed electrician and ARCtick-certified refrigerant handler — so the electrical and refrigeration work is done by the same person. No coordinating two different trades.
🚗 EV Charging at Home
Electric vehicles are increasingly common in the Redlands. A home EV charger needs a dedicated circuit from your switchboard, correct cable sizing for the distance, a weatherproof mounting location, and potentially a switchboard upgrade if your existing board is at capacity. Aaron assesses your setup and installs the right solution.
🚨 Compliance & Safety
Selling or leasing a property? Queensland regulations require compliant smoke alarms and safety switches on all circuits. Aaron handles the full compliance check — inspecting your smoke alarms, testing safety switches, and installing or upgrading whatever’s needed to meet current requirements. See our full landlord electrical compliance checklist.

Yes. Under Queensland’s Electrical Safety Act 2002, all electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor or supervised electrical worker. DIY electrical work is illegal and carries penalties up to $40,000 for individuals. It’s also extremely dangerous — electricity kills. Amplus holds Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence No. 1500996, and all work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
Signs your switchboard needs upgrading include: ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, frequent tripping, no safety switches installed, burning smell from the switchboard, visible corrosion or scorch marks, or if your home was built before 1990. A switchboard upgrade replaces old fuses with modern circuit breakers and safety switches, improving safety and capacity.
Renovations typically require new power point placement, lighting design and installation, switchboard capacity assessment, ceiling fan pre-wiring, exhaust fan installation in wet areas, smoke alarm upgrades to meet current regulations, and a compliance certificate on completion. Aaron can assess your renovation plans and provide a complete electrical scope and quote.
Yes. Queensland law requires safety switches (RCDs) on all power and lighting circuits in domestic dwellings. If your home only has safety switches on some circuits (common in homes built between 1992-2000), you may not be fully compliant. Properties being sold, leased, or with a switchboard upgrade must have safety switches on all circuits.
Most common jobs are completed in a single visit. Power point installation: 30-60 min. Safety switch: 1-2 hours. LED lighting upgrade: 2-4 hours. Switchboard upgrade: 4-6 hours.
