Ascot is one of Brisbane’s oldest and most loved suburbs. It sits close to the city, with the Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses nearby and the busy cafés and shops of Racecourse Road. It is a lovely place to live and work.
The homes in Ascot are all very different. You will see big old Queenslanders on stumps, grand character homes, new houses and modern units. Each one needs a different kind of care. An old home often has old wires that need checking. A new home might need smart lights, more power points or a car charger. A shop or café needs power that never lets it down.
As your local Ascot electrician, we know these homes well. We know where old wires hide, and we know what to look for. When we find a problem, we tell you about it in plain words. There is no big talk and there are no surprise costs. You get the facts, and then you choose what you want to do.
Electrical Services in Ascot
We do all kinds of electrical work for Ascot homes and businesses. Here are the jobs we do most often.
Many older Ascot homes still have old fuse boxes. These do not keep your family as safe as a modern switchboard does. A switchboard upgrade swaps the old fuses for new circuit breakers and safety switches. A safety switch cuts the power in a split second if something goes wrong. It can save a life.
Old wires can wear out over time. The cover on the wire can crack, and the wire can get too hot. If your home is very old, home rewiring may be the safest choice. We replace the old wires with new ones so your home is safe for many more years.
Good light makes a home feel warm and bright. We fit LED downlights, pendant lights, garden lights and security lights. LED lights use less power, so they can help cut your power bill too.
Brisbane summers are hot and sticky. A ceiling fan is a cheap and easy way to stay cool. We can fit a fan in your bedroom, living room or outdoor deck. We also add new power points where you need them, including handy USB power points for phones and tablets.
Your family’s safety matters most. We fit linked smoke alarms, which all go off at the same time. If there is a fire at one end of the house, you will hear it at the other end.
More Ascot locals are buying electric cars. We can fit an EV charger at your home so you can charge your car overnight. We check your switchboard first to make sure it can take the load.
Are you doing up your home? We can plan and wire your new kitchen, bathroom or extension. We work with your builder so everything is done on time.
Sometimes the power goes off and you do not know why. Our fault finding service tracks down the cause, and then we fix it.
Electrician for Old Queenslander Homes in Ascot
Many homes in Ascot are more than 80 years old. They have high ceilings, wide verandahs and lovely timber floors. They are part of what makes Ascot so special. But old homes can hide old wiring.
In some older Queenslanders, the original wiring still runs on small white porcelain insulators under the floor or in the roof space. Much of this early wiring is rubber insulated (often called VIR), and the rubber goes brittle and cracks with age. If your home still has it, it isn’t safe for modern appliances and should be replaced. It was fine many years ago, but it is not safe today. Old rubber wires can also crack and break down. Over time, that can lead to shocks or even a fire.
Our Ascot electrician team knows how to work on these homes. We check under the house and up in the roof space. We test your switchboard and your power points. Then we tell you what is safe and what needs to be fixed.
We also know how much you love your home. We work with care and we protect your walls and floors. We keep the old charm of your Queenslander while making it safe for today.
