Home Rewiring & Renovation Electrical — Capalaba & Brisbane Bayside
From 1960s brick homes to modern renovations, Aaron handles every aspect of residential rewiring and renovation electrical work.
Many older homes across Capalaba, Alexandra Hills and the Redlands still have outdated wiring systems — ceramic fuse boards, rubber-insulated cables, or aluminium wiring that cannot safely handle modern electrical loads. Overloaded circuits, flickering lights, warm power points and tripping fuses are all signs your home may need rewiring.
Renovations also demand an electrician who understands the full scope of the project — working alongside builders, plumbers and cabinetmakers to ensure the electrical is roughed in at the right stage and finished to Australian Standards. Read our renovation electrical preparation guide before your project begins. Aaron from Amplus Electrical & Air has over 15 years of experience handling both complete rewires and renovation electrical fit-outs across the Bayside.
Whether you need a full house rewire, a kitchen renovation, or new circuits for an extension — Amplus handles it from start to finish. Every job includes a switchboard assessment, proper circuit design, and a certificate of compliance on completion.
Rewiring & Renovation Services — Capalaba
Every project is different. Here are the most common rewiring and renovation services we provide.
Full Home Rewiring
Complete replacement of all wiring, switchboard, circuits and outlets. Essential for pre-1980s homes with old TPS, rubber or aluminium cabling. Aaron replaces everything to current Australian Standards — new cables, modern switchboard with safety switches, and properly rated circuits for today’s electrical demands.
Partial Rewiring
Not every home needs a full rewire. Aaron can replace wiring in specific areas — a single room, one floor, or just the circuits that are overloaded or damaged. Partial rewiring is common during renovations where you’re updating one section of the home while the rest remains intact.
Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations
New lighting layouts, power point placement, rangehood connections, exhaust fans, heated towel rails and dedicated appliance circuits. Aaron works alongside your builder or cabinetmaker to ensure the electrical is roughed in at the right stage and finished cleanly.
Extensions & New Rooms
Adding a room, granny flat or outdoor entertaining area? Aaron runs new circuits from your switchboard, installs lighting, power points, data cabling and air conditioning connections — everything your new space needs.
Switchboard Upgrades
Old ceramic fuse boards can’t protect your family or handle modern loads. Aaron replaces them with modern switchboards featuring safety switches (RCDs), circuit breakers and surge protection. Often required before or during a rewire. Not sure if yours needs work? See 10 signs your switchboard needs replacing.
Compliance & Safety Upgrades
Selling your home or had an inspection that flagged electrical issues? Aaron brings your wiring up to current Queensland standards — smoke alarms, safety switches, earthing, and any non-compliant wiring. All work is inspected and certified.

Rewiring in Older Capalaba & Redlands Homes
Many homes in Capalaba, Alexandra Hills and Birkdale were built in the 1960s–1980s with wiring systems that are now 40–60 years old. Common issues Aaron sees include:
- ✓ Ceramic fuse boards with no safety switches — a serious safety risk
- ✓ Rubber-insulated cables that become brittle and crack with age
- ✓ Only 2–3 circuits for the entire house — not enough for modern appliances
- ✓ No earth leakage protection — dangerous in wet areas
- ✓ Aluminium wiring — prone to overheating at connections
- ✓ Undersized cables that can’t handle air conditioning, EV chargers or modern kitchens
If your home has any of these issues, a rewire isn’t just an upgrade — it’s essential for safety. Aaron provides honest assessments and won’t recommend a full rewire unless it’s genuinely needed. Sometimes a switchboard upgrade and partial rewire is all that’s required.

Home Rewiring FAQ — Capalaba & Brisbane
Common questions about home rewiring for Capalaba and Brisbane Bayside homeowners.
A partial rewire (single room or floor) typically costs $1,500–$4,000 depending on scope. A full house rewire for a standard 3-bedroom Capalaba home ranges from $8,000–$18,000 including switchboard upgrade, new cables, outlets and certification. Aaron provides a detailed, written quote after inspecting your home — no hidden fees.
Common signs include: flickering lights, warm or discoloured power points, frequently tripping fuses, a ceramic fuse board with no safety switches, burning smells near outlets, and circuits that can’t handle normal appliance loads. If your home was built before 1980 and hasn’t been rewired, it’s worth having Aaron inspect it.
A standard 3-bedroom home typically takes 3–5 days for a full rewire. Partial rewires can often be completed in 1–2 days. The timeline depends on the size of the home, accessibility of the roof space and walls, and whether plaster repairs are needed. Aaron provides a clear timeline before work begins.
Not usually. Aaron works room by room and ensures you have power available in unaffected areas throughout the job. For a full rewire, there may be brief periods without power in specific circuits, but you can generally stay in your home. Aaron plans the work to minimise disruption.
Aaron accesses wiring through the roof space and under the floor wherever possible to minimise damage. In some cases, small access holes are needed in walls or ceilings. Aaron patches and makes good any access points, and works carefully to keep disruption to a minimum. For renovations, rewiring is typically done during the demolition/rough-in stage before new plaster goes up.
Usually, yes. If your home needs rewiring, the switchboard almost always needs upgrading too. A modern switchboard with circuit breakers, safety switches and surge protection is included in most full rewire quotes. Aaron will confirm this during the assessment.
Absolutely — this is the ideal time to rewire. When walls are open during a renovation, new cables can be run with zero damage to finished surfaces. Aaron coordinates with your builder to ensure the electrical rough-in happens at the right stage, before plaster and painting.
Yes. Every rewiring job is fully tested and you receive a certificate of compliance confirming all work meets current Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000). This is essential for insurance purposes, property sales and council compliance. Aaron handles all testing and certification.
