Electrical services in Canberra
Day-to-day electrical work for Canberra homes. Pick the job closest to yours, or call and describe it.
Electrical repairs
Most repair calls start the same way: something that used to work doesn't. A circuit keeps tripping, half the power points are dead, a light flickers or a switch feels warm. We find the actual cause rather than swapping parts until something works.
Read morePower points & switches
Extra outlets where you actually need them beat a house full of double adaptors and extension leads. We add and relocate power points, replace tired switches, and install outdoor and weatherproof outlets.
Read moreLighting installation
Lighting changes how a room feels more than almost anything else. We install pendants, batten and feature lights, outdoor and garden lighting, and sensor lights, and make sure dimmers and fittings actually work together.
Read moreLED downlights
Plenty of Canberra homes still have halogen downlights that run hot, blow regularly and cost more to run. We replace them with LED fittings, and install new downlights laid out to light the room evenly rather than in a grid that ignores the furniture.
Read moreSwitchboard upgrades
Plenty of Canberra houses are still running the switchboard they were built with. If yours has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or breakers that trip whenever the kettle and heater are on together, an upgrade brings the board up to current standards.
Read moreSafety switches
A safety switch cuts the power in a fraction of a second when it detects current leaking to earth — the kind of fault that injures people. Older Canberra homes often have none, or only one covering the power points. We add them and test the ones you have.
Read moreSmoke alarms & safety checks
Smoke alarms have a service life and wiring doesn't last forever. We install and replace hardwired, interconnected alarms and carry out safety inspections on homes, rentals and properties changing hands.
Read moreCeiling & exhaust fans
Canberra summers make a ceiling fan worth having, and a bathroom without decent extraction gets mould. We install and replace both, including the mounting, switching and venting a fan needs to work properly.
Read moreOvens & cooktops
Swapping an oven or moving to induction looks simple until the new appliance needs more current than the old circuit was built for. We check the circuit and switchboard, then connect the appliance properly.
Read moreEV charger installation
A dedicated EV charger is the safest and quickest way to charge at home or work. Mick Burrows Electrical installs chargers for Canberra and Queanbeyan homes and businesses. We check your switchboard and supply first, then fit the charger where it suits how you park. Already bought a charger? We'll install it. Not sure which one to get? We'll tell you what your supply can handle.
