From complete electrical installations for new homes through to renovations, upgrades, repairs and ongoing maintenance, our team takes a practical and organised approach to every job.
We work with homeowners, builders, renovators and property managers to deliver electrical work that is properly planned, clearly scoped, safely completed and tested before handover.
Complete Residential Electrical Services
Residential electrical work can range from a straightforward repair to the complete design and installation of a new home. QEI can assist with:
- Electrical planning and installation for new homes
- Renovations, extensions and property upgrades
- Internal and external lighting
- Power outlets and dedicated circuits
- Switchboard upgrades and electrical improvements
- Electrical fault-finding and repairs
- Smart-home, data and communications wiring
- Electrical preparation for air conditioning
- General electrical maintenance
- Testing and completion documentation
For larger projects, we can work from plans, coordinate with builders and other trades, and help identify electrical requirements before construction begins.
New Homes and Major Renovations
Good electrical planning should happen early. QEI works with homeowners, builders and project teams to consider lighting, power, appliance locations, data requirements, outdoor areas and future electrical needs before installation begins.
This helps reduce last-minute changes, avoid unnecessary delays and ensure the finished electrical system supports the way the property will actually be used. Our involvement can include planning, rough-in, fit-off, testing, commissioning and final handover.
Repairs, Fault-Finding and Upgrades
Electrical problems are not always caused by the first visible fault. Our team assesses the issue, identifies the likely cause and explains the available repair or upgrade options before proceeding.
Depending on the job, this may involve testing existing circuits, investigating intermittent faults, replacing damaged equipment or recommending an upgrade where the existing installation no longer suits the property.
Where the complete scope cannot be determined before testing begins, we will explain the diagnostic process and any applicable charges.
Renovations and Existing Properties
Renovating an existing property often means working around older wiring, previous alterations and changing electrical requirements. QEI can review the existing installation, identify areas requiring attention and coordinate new electrical work with the renovation program.
We aim to provide a clear scope before work begins and communicate promptly if concealed conditions affect the original plan.
Switchboard Upgrades
Older switchboards may no longer suit the electrical demands of a modern property. A switchboard assessment may be required when:
- Renovating or extending a property
- Adding major electrical equipment
- Installing air conditioning
- Adding solar or battery equipment
- Replacing outdated electrical protection
- Investigating repeated electrical faults
- Increasing the number of electrical circuits
QEI can assess the existing switchboard and explain whether repairs, alterations or a complete upgrade are recommended.
Lighting and Power
QEI provides lighting and power installations for new and existing homes. This may include:
- Internal lighting
- Feature lighting
- External and landscape lighting
- Additional power outlets
- Dedicated appliance circuits
- Lighting controls
- Electrical work for outdoor entertaining areas
- Electrical work for pools and associated equipment
We can work from existing plans or assist with practical placement and installation options.
Smart-Home, Data and Communications Wiring
Electrical planning increasingly includes data, communications and smart-home requirements. QEI can coordinate suitable wiring and infrastructure during a new build or renovation so that these systems are considered before walls and ceilings are completed.
The scope will depend on the property, the proposed equipment and the customer’s requirements.
