Mount Gravatt through Sunnybank and out to Browns Plains and Parkinson — a spread of housing from post-war brick to newer estates, all of it running more than it was wired for.

Load, not age

Houses running more than they were built for.

The southside problem is rarely dramatic. It is a house with an air conditioner in three rooms, an induction cooktop, a second fridge in the garage and a board that has never been touched since it was installed.

The symptom is nuisance tripping, and it gets normalised — people learn not to run two things at once. That is a board at its limit telling you so.

What the southside asks for

The work we do most down here.

  • Switchboard upgrades and RCBO protection
  • Dedicated circuits for air conditioning and cooking appliances
  • Split-system installation and replacement
  • Full-house LED upgrades and ceiling fans
  • Interconnected smoke alarms ahead of the 2027 deadline
  • Security cameras and data cabling

Summer load

Air conditioning is what usually forces the issue.

Adding a split system to a room is straightforward. Adding the third one to a house whose board is already full is a different conversation, and it is the one we have most often through spring.

We do both parts — the system and the circuit — so it is one job and one fixed price rather than two trades and a gap.

Answers

Common questions.

Our normal area runs to Browns Plains and Parkinson. Just past that? Ask and we will tell you straight.

Usually a capacity problem rather than a fault — the board is at its limit. It is worth having looked at before you add anything else.

Sometimes, if there is space and the protection is modern. On older boards there is often neither.

Yes. Reverse-cycle split systems and the dedicated circuits they need, as one job.
