QLD Licence 90899 · Serving Annerley since 2016
Switchboard upgrades, safety switches, power points, smoke alarms and emergency callouts across Annerley. Quoted by Anthony, signed off by Anthony, done to AS/NZS 3000 every time. Same day response across the 4103 and surrounds.
Annerley sits 5km south of the Brisbane CBD, bordered by Ipswich Road, Annerley Road and the Mount Olivet precinct. The suburb’s housing stock is a mix of pre-war Queenslanders along Cornwall Street and Waldheim Street, post-war workers cottages through the side streets, brick and tile from the 1960s and 1970s and newer townhouses around Junction Road and the Fairfield fringe. Each era comes with its own electrical quirks.
The older Queenslanders around Cornwall Street, Dudley Street and Cracknell Road often still run ceramic fuse boards, original rubber-insulated wiring and switchboards without modern safety switches. Queensland legislation now requires these during property sales and major renovations. The newer builds around Junction Road and Dutton Park fringe usually need switchboard upgrades to handle modern appliance loads. Air conditioning, induction cooktops, EV chargers and multi-screen home offices all draw more power than the original design assumed.
Anthony has worked across every street in the 4103. From pre-sale safety switch installs in Junction Road to full home rewires on Cornwall Street to emergency callouts on Annerley Road after summer storms knock out circuits. Annerley homes get Annerley-specific work, not a template quote.

Standard call out is a fixed fee that covers the first hour onsite. Anything beyond that is quoted before we start. Most Annerley jobs fall into one of three brackets. Small fixes like a faulty power point or a tripped circuit are usually under $250. Switchboard work, multiple safety switches or new circuits typically run $800 to $2,500. Full switchboard upgrades on older Queenslanders sit between $2,500 and $4,500 depending on what we find behind the panel. Every quote is itemised before we touch a tool.
Yes. Annerley sits about 15 minutes from Mount Gravatt East where Anthony is based. For genuine emergencies (no power, burning smell, sparks, water on electrics) we aim to be onsite within the hour. After hours and weekend callouts are available. Storm season we prioritise based on safety risk.
Yes. Ceramic fuse boards are common across the older Queenslanders in Annerley, especially around Cornwall Street, Waldheim Street and the Dudley Street pocket. We replace the whole board with a modern RCBO setup that includes safety switches on every circuit. Most jobs take a single day with a short power interruption while we cut over. Energex coordination and switchboard certificate included.
Yes. Queensland legislation requires safety switches on all power and lighting circuits in residential properties. For owner occupiers it is mandatory at the time of sale. For rental properties it is required for all power circuits at the start of every new tenancy. We install, test and certify to comply with the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013.
All streets in the 4103 postcode. That includes the main runs along Ipswich Road, Annerley Road and Junction Road, plus the residential side streets through Cornwall, Waldheim, Dudley, Cracknell, Ridge, Edith and beyond. We also cover the streets that bleed into Tarragindi, Yeronga and Fairfield.
Yes. Pre-sale work is a big part of what we do in Annerley. Common requirements include installing safety switches to meet legislation, fitting interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, repairing dodgy DIY work flagged by a building inspector and providing a Form 3 electrical safety certificate where requested. Usually completed within a week of booking.
A few warning signs. Ceramic fuses with wire links instead of circuit breakers. No safety switches anywhere on the board. Frequent tripping when the kettle, toaster and microwave run together. Visible burn marks or buzzing at the board. Anything pre 1980 still on its original fitout almost certainly needs an upgrade. We can do a free visual inspection and tell you straight whether it can wait or needs doing now.
Fully insured. $20M public liability, workers compensation, full QBCC and Electrical Safety Office licensing under QLD Licence 90899. Every job carries a workmanship guarantee. Certificates of compliance issued for all work.
The older Queenslanders typically have rubber insulated wiring that has gone brittle, original ceramic fuse boards, undersized mains for modern appliances and no safety switch protection. The 1960s and 70s brick and tile homes often have aluminium wiring that needs careful handling. Newer townhouses around Junction Road and Dutton Park usually need additional circuits added when residents install ducted air, induction cooktops or EV chargers that the original DB was not sized for.
About 15 minutes from Mount Gravatt East in normal traffic, longer if Ipswich Road is backed up. For emergencies we aim within the hour. For standard bookings we usually have you booked within 24 to 48 hours.
