Electric East Electricians is a Northern Rivers electrical business that covers Lismore for general electrical work, switchboard and wiring upgrades, 24/7 fault finding, and Level 2 ASP work on the supply side of the meter. That combination matters locally: a property needing a new connection, a meter relocation or a rectified Essential Energy defect notice usually needs a Level 2 electrician, and most general electricians cannot carry out that part of the job.
Lismore’s housing stock runs from early-1900s timber cottages through post-war brick to newer estates on the Goonellabah side, so the work varies from a single power point to a full rewire and board replacement.

Metering, overhead and underground consumer mains, point-of-attachment repairs, private poles and new property connections, handled as an Essential Energy accredited Level 2 ASP. Essential Energy applications, defect notices and switchboard approvals are managed on the customer's behalf, including the paperwork.
Ceramic fuse boards and early breaker boards replaced with modern breakers, RCD protection and labelled circuits, through to switchboard upgrades sized for solar or an EV charger. Older Lismore homes that have never been upgraded are the most common candidates.
Full house rewires, replacement of degraded or rodent-damaged cabling, and electrical wiring for extensions and renovations. Testing and certification are part of every rewire, not an optional extra.
24/7 electrical fault finding for tripping breakers, dead circuits, flickering lights and burning smells. As an emergency electrician in Lismore, diagnosis is done with test equipment rather than guesswork, so the repair holds.
Electrical diagnosis and repair on electric, heat pump and solar systems, covering elements, thermostats, tariff circuits and controllers. Hot water repairs are one of the fastest jobs to sort once the fault is confirmed.
Safety inspections for rentals, pre-purchase checks and RCD testing, with a compliance certificate issued. Useful for landlords and agents managing multiple Lismore properties.
Hardwired and interconnected smoke alarm installation tested to NSW requirements. Rental properties and older homes on battery-only alarms are the usual starting point.
Extra outlets, USB and weatherproof outdoor points, LED upgrades, garden and security lighting, and ceiling fan installation. Small jobs are grouped into one visit where possible to keep the callout efficient.
Rough-in, fit-off, board work and supply connections for new builds and renovations, including temporary builders power. Level 2 accreditation means the connection and the internal work are handled by the same team.
EV charger installation for all brands, with supply upgrades where the existing service will not carry the load, plus Cat6 data cabling for homes and offices.
Fit-outs, three-phase work, lighting and maintenance for shops, warehouses and offices. Work as a commercial electrician in Lismore is scheduled around trading hours, and commercial electrical jobs can be staged across visits.
Lismore is the largest inland centre in the Northern Rivers, with 44,334 residents across the local government area at the 2021 Census and Goonellabah as its biggest suburb. The 2022 floods reshaped a large part of the electrical work in the area. Properties in South and North Lismore and around the CBD have been rewired, raised, retrofitted or rebuilt, and any installation that has been inundated needs inspection and testing before supply is restored — usually meaning replaced boards, new cabling above flood level, and relocated meters and outlets.
Outside those streets the pattern changes. Goonellabah and Lismore Heights hold newer brick housing where the work is more often extra circuits, air conditioning, lighting and EV chargers. Around Bexhill, Clunes, Dunoon and Wyrallah, rural and acreage properties run long private service lines, which brings private poles, pillars and pump circuits into scope — all supply-side work requiring a Level 2 electrician. Lismore also carries a working commercial centre, so shopfronts and light industrial sheds sit alongside the residential work.
Coverage runs roughly 75 kilometres from base, taking in Lismore City, Ballina Shire and Richmond Valley council areas. Around Lismore that includes East Lismore, South Lismore, North Lismore, Goonellabah, Lismore Heights, Bexhill, Clunes, Dunoon, Wyrallah, Eltham and Nimbin. Eltham is worth naming precisely: the NSW Eltham sits a short run south-east of Lismore in the Northern Rivers, not the Melbourne suburb of the same name that dominates search results.
Further out, coverage takes in Ballina, Alstonville, Wollongbar, Lennox Head, Byron Bay, Casino, Kyogle and Evans Head. Anyone unsure whether their street is covered can check the full service area or ask when booking.
West of Lismore we also cover the Richmond Valley from Casino out to the surrounding farmland — see our electrician in Casino page for that area.
Quotes are free, and straightforward work such as power points, fans or a hot water fault can often be quoted over the phone from a description and a photo. Rewires, switchboard replacements, new connections and commercial jobs need an on-site look first, because the age of the wiring and the state of the supply decide the scope. Level 2 work involving Essential Energy is coordinated and lodged on the customer’s behalf, with the expected outage window given before the day.
Electric East Electricians covers Lismore for the full range of work — from a single outlet through to a rewire, a new supply connection or a commercial fit-out — with the Level 2 accreditation to finish the supply side rather than hand it on. The scope is explained before any work starts.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. It's nice to have someone who turns up when they say they will and gets the job done properly. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable electrician, and I'll definitely be using him again in the future.
