What we do in Carina Heights

Houses built in Carina Heights after the war usually started with a small switchboard and a handful of circuits. A board upgrade with safety switches on every circuit usually comes before any bigger electrical change. Built-in lower levels need their own lighting, power points and interconnected smoke alarms.

Not every Carina Heights street is the same. In Carina Heights’s brick lowsets, wiring runs through the roof space and down the cavity walls, with original boards still in many houses. Accessible roof space makes it practical to add downlights, fans and dedicated circuits for air conditioning.

Electrical questions from Carina Heights

What is involved in fitting an EV charger in Carina Heights?

A capacity check of the board and supply, a dedicated circuit and a sensible mounting spot near the car are the main steps.

Is it safe to add circuits to an older Carina Heights house?

Usually, once the existing wiring and protection have been checked. If a circuit isn’t suitable, we explain what needs to change first.

Can you replace an old ceiling fan in Carina Heights?

Yes. We remove the old fan, check the fixing and wiring, and install the new fan on a suitable switch or remote.

What are Queensland’s smoke alarm rules?

Queensland requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the home, and on every storey. All homes must comply by 1 January 2027.
