A tripping circuit, an ageing switchboard or a new shed that needs its own supply all lead to the same requirement: an electrician who can handle the whole job, not just the part that stops at the meter.

The team works across houses, acreage properties and small commercial sites on the plateau.
From older homes in town to acreage properties around the plateau, electrical work in Alstonville often involves a mix of standard wiring and supply-side work.

Level 2 ASP electrical work: Essential Energy-accredited work covering metering, overhead and underground services, consumer mains, point-of-attachment repairs, private poles and new connections. Defect notices are resolved, and the required Essential Energy applications are lodged as part of the process.
Switchboard upgrades: Older boards are replaced with safety switches and correctly rated circuit breakers, then certified on completion. Where an upgrade requires supply-side work, Level 2 accreditation allows it to be handled as part of the same job.
Electrical fault finding: Flickering lights, breakers that keep tripping and dead circuits are traced using licensed diagnostic testing before anything is replaced. Emergency fault work is available 24/7 during storm season.
Wiring and rewiring: Full-house rewires, new circuits, and replacement of damaged or ageing cabling are tested and certified on completion. On rural blocks, the work often extends to long cable runs serving sheds, pumps and secondary dwellings.
Smoke alarm installation: Hardwired, interconnected alarms are installed and tested to meet NSW requirements for owner-occupied and rental properties. Landlords and property managers receive the certification they need for their records.
Safety inspections and compliance: Pre-purchase checks, rental compliance inspections and RCD testing are carried out across Alstonville homes and small commercial premises, with each inspection ending in a written result you can act on.
Hot water system service and repairs: Electric, heat-pump and solar systems are diagnosed on the electrical side, from elements and thermostats to the circuit feeding the unit. Repairs are carried out where the unit remains serviceable.
EV charger installation: Home and commercial chargers are installed for all brands, with the property load checked first. Where the existing supply cannot support the charger, the required network-side upgrade can be included in the same job.
Lighting installation: Indoor, outdoor, garden and LED upgrade work ranges from a single fitting to the replacement of ageing halogen lighting, with fittings specified for weather exposure on the plateau.
Power point installation: Extra outlets, USB points and weatherproof outdoor points are added where a property needs them, with each new circuit sized to suit the existing switchboard.
New homes and renovations: Rough-in, fit-off and switchboard work is delivered to the builder's program for new builds, extensions and renovations. New connections and temporary builder's power are covered as well.
Commercial electrical work: Fit-outs, three-phase work, commercial lighting and maintenance are handled for Alstonville businesses and rural operations. Three-phase upgrades and commercial connections can also be completed under the team's Level 2 accreditation.
Data cabling: Cat6 structured cabling and additional data points are installed for homes and businesses that need a reliable wired network, with layouts planned around the building rather than relying on surface-mounted cabling.
Ceiling fans and hardwired appliances: Ceiling fans, ovens, cooktops, range hoods and laundry appliances are installed and connected, with older fittings checked for cable condition first.
Much of Alstonville consists of rural and semi-rural blocks where supply arrives overhead through private poles and long service runs that the property owner is responsible for. Poles can rot at the base, cables can sag or chafe, and points of attachment can pull loose in high winds. These issues sit on the Essential Energy network side and require an accredited Level 2 electrician.
The plateau setting adds another factor. Alstonville sits above the coastal plain between Ballina and Lismore, where summer storm activity and lightning can affect both the property and its incoming supply. Fault work after a storm can involve a combination of surge damage inside the property and network-side damage outside it.
Farm supply is the third factor. Macadamia and avocado growing around Alstonville means many properties use pump sheds, packing sheds and cold storage supported by three-phase supply. Load upgrades on these sites can involve Level 2 work from the outset.
Alstonville sits within a service radius of roughly 75 kilometres, covering the Ballina Shire, Lismore City and Richmond Valley council areas. Nearby work includes Wollongbar, Lennox Head, Bangalow, Goonellabah and Wardell, alongside Lismore, Byron Bay and Casino. The full list of towns covered is available on the Northern Rivers service area page.
Electric East Electricians covers Alstonville, Wollongbar, Lennox Head and the wider Ballina Shire.
Quotes are free, and every quote starts with a conversation about what the property is doing now. Small, well-defined jobs, such as adding an extra power point, can often be priced over the phone. A switchboard upgrade, rewire, supply upgrade or defect notice usually requires an on-site inspection because the age of the board, number of circuits and condition of the incoming supply can all affect the scope.
Where network-side work is required, Electric East Electricians lodges the Essential Energy application and coordinates the timing. You receive the scope and price in writing before work starts.
Electrical work is one of the few jobs on a property where cutting corners can create problems years later, often at the worst possible time. Electric East Electricians handles Alstonville jobs from end to end, from a flickering light to a new supply for a shed or a three-phase upgrade for a packing operation. Storm damage and dead circuits are covered around the clock, while planned work is booked for a time that suits the property.

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.
