The full service range applies in every town named further down this page, not just the two main hubs.

Level 2 ASP work

Accredited for Essential Energy network jobs — metering, consumer mains, point-of-attachment repairs, private poles, temporary builders power and 3-phase upgrades. Level 2 ASP electrician work also covers defect notices and new property connections — the jobs most local electricians subcontract out.

Switchboard upgrades

Older ceramic-fuse boards are replaced with a compliant board, RCD safety switches and correctly rated breakers. Switchboard upgrades are usually the first thing flagged when solar or an EV charger is added.

Wiring and rewiring

Full rewires, circuit extensions and replacement of ageing cable, with testing and certification on completion. Electrical wiring and rewiring is common in the district's pre-1980s timber homes.

Electrical fault finding

Tripping breakers, flickering lights and dead circuits are traced with diagnostic testing, not guesswork. Electrical fault finding is available 24/7 for urgent faults across the service area.

Safety inspections and compliance

Pre-purchase checks, rental compliance, RCD testing and written compliance certificates. Safety inspections and compliance suits landlords and agents managing multiple properties.

Smoke alarm installation

Hardwired, interconnected alarms installed and tested to the NSW requirements for rented and owner-occupied homes. Smoke alarm installation is usually bundled with a compliance visit.

Power points and lighting

Extra outlets, USB and weatherproof outdoor points, plus garden and security lighting. Power point installation and lighting installation are often combined with an LED changeover.

Ceiling fans and hot water

Fan installation and replacement, plus fault diagnosis on electric, heat pump, solar and gas systems. Ceiling fan installation suits the district's humid summers, and hot water system service and repairs often come down to a thermostat or element, not a new unit.

EV charger installation

Home and commercial chargers of any brand, with the supply upgrade handled in-house where the existing service will not carry the load. EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing jobs in the newer coastal estates.

Appliances and data cabling

Hardwired ovens, cooktops, range hoods and laundry appliances, plus Cat6 cabling and data points. Appliance installation and repair and data cabling are handled on the same visit where the scope allows.

Commercial electrical

Fit-outs, 3-phase work, commercial lighting and maintenance for shops, sheds and light industrial sites. Commercial electrical includes the Level 2 connection side, so one contractor covers supply through to final fit-off.

New homes and renovations

Rough-in, fit-off, switchboard and connection work for builders and owner-builders. New homes and renovations scheduling is coordinated around the trades either side.

Why Choose Electric East Electricians Across the Northern Rivers?

Level 2 ASP accreditation is the practical difference: the same team that wires the house also does the Essential Energy-side work, so a supply upgrade does not stall waiting on a second contractor. Past that, the promise is simple — honest advice without upselling, and doing the job properly the first time.

How Quotes and Scheduling Work

Urgent faults are triaged first; planned work is booked to a date and a time window.

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.
