Residential Electrical Services in Maroubra
Home Rewiring &
Electrical Upgrades
A lot of the older homes in Maroubra, particularly those built before 1990, still have the original wiring. Now, there's nothing wrong with older homes; they've got great bones, but the electrical systems often need updating to handle today's lifestyle. We're talking dishwashers, air conditioning, home theatres, electric car chargers, the works.
Switchboard Upgrades &
Safety Switches
Here's something I see a lot in Maroubra: homes with old ceramic fuse boxes that really should be upgraded to modern circuit breaker panels. It's not just about convenience (though not having to replace fuses is nice), it's about safety. Modern switchboards with safety switches can save lives.
LED Lighting
Upgrades
One of my favourite jobs is converting old halogen downlights to LED. The energy savings are incredible, typically 60-80% less power consumption, and the lights last for years. Perfect for those Maroubra homes with loads of downlights throughout. For more details on our lighting services, check out our LED downlight installation page.

Electrical Renovations, Extensions & Rewiring in Maroubra
Maroubra’s got this great trend of people renovating and extending their homes rather than moving. Makes sense really. You get to stay in this fantastic location and create exactly what your family needs. I’ve been part of some amazing transformations over the years.
- Extension Electrical Work. Adding a second storey or extending out the back? The electrical planning is crucial. You need to think about how the new electrical load will affect your existing system, whether your switchboard can handle the extra circuits, and how to run new cables without destroying your existing home.
- Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations. These rooms need serious electrical consideration. Modern kitchens have so many appliances, from induction cooktops to integrated fridges, and bathrooms need proper ventilation and safety-rated lighting. I work with builders and designers to make sure the electrical side of your renovation is spot on.
- Pool & Spa Electrical Installations. Quite a few Maroubra homes have pools or are thinking about installing one. The electrical requirements are strict, and rightly so. Water and electricity don’t mix, so everything needs to be done to code with proper safety switching and earth leakage protection.
We handle electrical renovations, all types of electrical repairs, and provide comprehensive electrical maintenance services.

LED Lighting Upgrades & Installation Services Maroubra
Indoor Lighting Solutions
From feature lighting in your living areas to practical task lighting in kitchens and studies, I help Maroubra homeowners create lighting that works for how they live. LED technology has come so far, you can have warm, welcoming light that uses a fraction of the power of old incandescent bulbs.
Outdoor & Garden Lighting
Maroubra homes often have fantastic outdoor spaces, and proper lighting extends your living areas into the evening. Garden lighting, pathway lighting, and entertaining area lighting all add to the enjoyment of your property. Check out our specialized garden lighting installation page for outdoor lighting inspiration.
Automated Lighting Systems
Smart lighting is becoming popular in Maroubra homes. Being able to control your lights from your phone, set up automatic schedules, and even have your lights respond to the time of day, it's not as complicated as it sounds, and the convenience is fantastic.
Switchboard Upgrades & Electrical Safety for Maroubra Properties
Safety’s not negotiable when it comes to electrical work. I’ve seen too many close calls over the years, and most of them could have been prevented with proper electrical safety measures.
Modern Switchboard Installation. If your Maroubra home still has an old fuse box, upgrading to a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches is one of the best investments you can make. Not only is it safer, but it also gives you much better control over your electrical system.
Safety Switch Installation & Testing. Safety switches (RCDs) are mandatory for most electrical circuits in Australian homes, and for good reason. They can detect electrical faults and cut power in milliseconds, potentially saving lives. I test all safety switches as part of my regular maintenance service.
Electrical Safety Inspections. Regular electrical inspections can catch problems before they become dangerous or expensive. I recommend annual safety inspections for Maroubra homes, particularly older properties or homes that have had renovations done.
For comprehensive safety services, visit our electrical safety inspections page or our electrical inspections and testing page. If you’re experiencing electrical faults, our electrical fault-finding service can quickly identify and resolve issues.
Specialised Electrical Services in Maroubra - Smart Homes & Automation
Technology’s changing how we live, and I help Maroubra families integrate smart home technology in ways that make their lives easier, not more complicated.
- Home Automation Systems. Smart homes aren’t just about showing off, they’re about convenience and efficiency. Being able to control your air conditioning before you get home, having your lights automatically adjust throughout the day, or getting alerts if there’s an electrical problem while you’re away.
- Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. More and more Maroubra residents are getting electric vehicles, and charging at home is the most convenient option. I install dedicated EV charging circuits that’ll safely and efficiently charge your car overnight.
- Solar Panel Electrical Connections. While I don’t install solar panels myself, I handle all the electrical connections and ensure your solar system integrates properly with your home’s electrical system. Maroubra’s got excellent sun exposure, so solar makes a lot of sense here. For complete solar solutions, check our solar and battery installation page.
- Home Security & Safety Systems. Modern security systems need a proper electrical infrastructure. From security cameras to alarm systems, I ensure your Maroubra home’s security systems have reliable power and proper backup systems. Visit our home security installation page for security electrical services. Don’t forget about smoke alarm installation to keep your family safe.

Understanding Maroubra Homes & Electrical Infrastructure Challenges
Working in Maroubra for years has given me real insight into the electrical characteristics of different areas within the suburb. Each pocket of Maroubra has its personality when it comes to electrical infrastructure.
- Housing Characteristics & Electrical Considerations. The post-war brick homes around Maroubra Junction often have original electrical systems from the 1960s-70s that need updating. These homes typically feature small switchboards, limited power points, and older wiring that struggles with modern electrical demands.
The newer developments closer to the beach tend to have more modern electrical systems, but even homes from the 1980s-90s often need switchboard upgrades and additional circuits for today’s lifestyle. - Coastal Electrical Considerations. Being so close to the beach means Maroubra homes face unique challenges. Salt air can be tough on electrical fittings, particularly outdoor installations. I always use marine-grade components for external electrical work and recommend regular maintenance to prevent corrosion issues.
- NBN & Telecommunications Infrastructure. The NBN rollout is complete in Maroubra, with most properties having access to high-speed internet. However, internal data cabling in older homes often needs upgrading to take full advantage of these speeds. I regularly install new data points and upgrade internal networking for Maroubra homes and businesses.
