Brands We Use
North Lakes was built as a planned community in the late 1990s, so most homes and townhouses are at most a generation old. The electrical work here is less about replacing ceramic fuses and more about what has built up since the house was handed over, such as original downlights and fans reaching the end of their life, smoke alarms approaching their replacement date, and switchboards with no spare room for the circuits families now want to add.
Air conditioning, EV chargers, pool pumps, and alfresco areas all draw on a board sized for a much lighter load. A switchboard upgrade is often the starting point for those additions, and sorting it first means the later jobs go in cleanly.
Our Guarantee With Every Job
Reliability is the foundation of how On Electrical works. We book jobs for a set day and time frame; we start with a comprehensive quote, and nothing begins until you confirm it. Every job includes:
- An on-site inspection before any quote is prepared
- Wiring completed to AS/NZS 3000
- Compliance certificates issued wherever Queensland law requires them
- A one-year workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on products
- A tidy site once the work is finished

What North Lakes Customers Say
Bjorn did a great job installing a ceiling fan for us. Although a relatively easy job he made sure everything was perfect. Had great communication throughout, from our initial inquiry to finished job. Highly recommend and will use Bjorn again in the future. Thanks mate!
Great service, highly recommend.
Great service from Bjorn! He was professional, friendly, punctual, contactable, and did an excellent job. Really happy with the service and would definitely recommend Bjorn to anyone needing a reliable electrician
Been working with Bjorn for a couple of years now on little projects and he has always been so reliable. Now we are doing a bigger reno, can't think of anyone I'd rather have do our electrical work.
Questions North Lakes Residents Ask
Do newer homes in North Lakes still need a switchboard upgrade?
Often, yes, though for a different reason. Homes from this era generally have safety switches fitted, so the issue is usually capacity. A board with no spare ways can’t accommodate an EV charger, a new split system, or a pool pump without first being reworked.
When should you replace the smoke alarms in a North Lakes home?
Smoke alarms have a limited life, and many original alarms in estate homes are reaching the end of that life. Queensland’s smoke alarm rules also require interconnected photoelectric alarms in existing homes by 1 January 2027, so replacing older units now covers both. You can quote smoke alarm installation alongside other work to avoid a second visit.
What causes a safety switch to keep tripping in a newer home?
Common causes include a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor light or power point, and a circuit carrying too much load. Test each circuit in turn to isolate the source, so the fix targets the actual fault. Repeated tripping is worth addressing sooner rather than later through an emergency electrician service.
Can an EV charger go into a townhouse?
Usually, though, you need body corporate approval first. A written quote showing the charger and the wiring involved gives the committee what it needs to assess the request.
Which brands go into a switchboard upgrade?
Components come from the Hager, Clipsal and Vultex ranges. Each has its own warranty terms, and the right choice depends on the board size and the circuits being added.
