Residential Electrician in Maroochydore

Most people call an electrician because something has stopped working, or because a renovation has reached the point where it can't go further without one. Either way you're letting a stranger into your home, and the things that matter are simple: turn up when you said, explain what's actually wrong, charge what you quoted, and clean up before you leave.

That's the whole job as far as we're concerned. Banksia Electrical Industries has been working on Maroochydore homes for over 15 years — everything from a single dead power point to full rewires on old Queenslanders where the original wiring was never going to make it another decade.

A lot of Sunshine Coast housing stock predates modern safety requirements. Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, undersized boards feeding a house that now runs air conditioning and a induction cooktop. If that sounds like your place, a switchboard inspection is worth doing before it forces the issue itself.

All work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 and certified, so if you sell later the paperwork is in order. And if you're mid-renovation, we're happy to talk to your builder directly rather than making you the messenger.

New outlets, replacing tired ones, outdoor weatherproof points, and moving points during renovations.

Ceiling fans

Full & partial rewires

Rewiring for older Queenslanders and homes where the existing cabling has reached the end of its life.

"Levi is great! Takes pride in his work. He was neat, on time and he even cleaned up after himself! I will definitely be getting him back again."

"Absolute legend! Had some emergency electrical issues in our 100 year old Queenslander and Levi came straight out and not only fixed the issues but made sure everything was safe."

"Had Levi install some fans at my in-laws place, the work was top notch and he stayed to show them how all the settings worked. Would recommend. 5 stars."

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Quotes are free. For anything beyond a very simple job we prefer to come and look at it in person rather than guess over the phone.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

It depends on the size of the board, how much rewiring is needed at the board, and access. We'll come out, look at what you've got, and give you a fixed price before starting.

Can you come out same day?

Often yes for Maroochydore and nearby suburbs — call 0408 937 334 and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.

Do I need a safety switch?

Modern standards require RCD protection on power and lighting circuits, and many older Sunshine Coast homes still have none. It is the cheapest meaningful safety upgrade available to you.

Will you talk to my builder directly?

Happily. On renovations and new builds we'd rather coordinate with your builder ourselves than have you relay messages between trades.

Are you licensed and insured?

Fully licensed and insured, with over 15 years of electrical work across the Sunshine Coast. Happy to provide our details on request.
