What we do in Petrie

Post-war highsets in Petrie were wired for a few lights and power points, not for today’s kitchens, air conditioners and home offices. 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 Petrie street is the same. In Petrie’s brick lowsets, wiring runs through the roof space and down the cavity walls, with original boards still in many houses. Roof spaces in these homes are usually accessible, which makes LED downlight upgrades and new ceiling fans straightforward.

• Electrical safety inspections for homes and rentals

Petrie electrical work FAQs

Do Petrie homes need new smoke alarms?

By 1 January 2027 every Queensland home needs interconnected photoelectric alarms in each bedroom, in connecting hallways and on each level. We can bring Petrie homes up to that standard.

Can my Petrie switchboard handle an EV charger?

Often it can, but we check the supply and board first. The charger then goes on its own circuit with suitable protection.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. Electrical work is done under Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 91748, and the company also holds QBCC licence 15409163.
