What I Do

Switchboard Upgrades and Repairs

If your home or business still has an old fuse box, you could be at risk of electrical faults, nuisance trips, and in the worst cases, electrical fires. Lismore Electrical Services provides professional switchboard upgrades and mains installations across Lismore, Goonellabah, Casino and Ballina for homes, rental properties and commercial premises.

We replace outdated fuse boxes with modern circuit breaker panels fitted with safety switches and RCDs to meet current Australian Standards. Whether you are building a new home, renovating an older property, or simply need more circuits to handle modern appliances, our licensed electricians will assess your current setup and provide a clear, fixed price quote before any work begins.

Signs you may need a switchboard upgrade include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells near the meter box, or a switchboard that still uses ceramic fuses. Upgrading your switchboard also adds value to your property and is often required before a solar panel system can be installed.

We handle all paperwork, inspections and certificates of compliance so you do not have to. Call us today for a free switchboard assessment anywhere in the Northern Rivers region.

General Electrical Repairs

Brad from Lismore Electrical Service offers comprehensive electrical repair solutions designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial clients across Lismore and Goonellabah. For homeowners, this can include troubleshooting flickering lights, replacing damaged power points and switches, repairing or upgrading switchboards, fixing faulty safety switches and circuit breakers, resolving power outages, and addressing wiring that has degraded over time due to age or wear.

For offices and commercial premises, their services extend to maintaining essential electrical infrastructure such as lighting systems, power distribution boards, emergency lighting, data and communication cabling, and equipment wiring, helping businesses avoid downtime caused by electrical faults.

Beyond reactive repairs, Brad can also assist with routine inspections and preventative maintenance, catching potential problems early before they escalate into costly breakdowns. His familiarity with the local area, including the specific electrical infrastructure common in older Lismore homes and newer developments in Goonellabah, means they can offer tailored advice on upgrades or repairs that suit the property's age, wiring type, and usage demands. Whether it's a single power point at a residential home or a full switchboard upgrade for a commercial office, they aim to deliver safe, code-compliant work with clear communication and transparent pricing throughout the job.

TV, Phone and Data Cabling Installation

Whether you are moving into a new home, renovating, or simply need more connectivity around your property, Lismore Electrical Services provides reliable TV aerial, phone point and data cabling installation across Lismore, Goonellabah, Casino and Ballina.

We install and terminate data cabling for home networks, home offices and business premises, ensuring fast and reliable wired internet connections throughout your property. Wired data connections are significantly faster and more stable than relying on Wi-Fi, particularly in larger homes or offices with multiple devices.

Our TV installation services include free to air TV antenna installation, TV point installation in any room, and wall mounting preparation for flat screen televisions. We also install and relocate phone points for landline connections or ADSL setups where required.

For new builds and renovations, we recommend planning your TV, phone and data cabling during the construction phase to avoid costly wall access work later. We work closely with builders and homeowners across the Northern Rivers to get the cabling right the first time.

Stove and Hot Water Repairs

A faulty stove or a failed hot water system is more than an inconvenience. Lismore Electrical Services provides prompt diagnosis and repair of electric stoves, ovens, cooktops and electric hot water systems for homes and businesses across Lismore, Goonellabah, Casino and Ballina.

Common stove and oven problems we repair include faulty heating elements, broken temperature controls, wiring faults, and circuit issues that cause the appliance to trip the switchboard. Common hot water system faults include failed heating elements, faulty thermostats, tripped safety switches and wiring problems at the unit itself.

All electrical repairs to stoves and hot water systems must be carried out by a licensed electrician under Australian law. Attempting to replace elements or repair wiring yourself is illegal and can void your appliance warranty.

We aim to diagnose and repair faults quickly to minimise disruption, and in many cases we can complete repairs on the same visit. Where a repair is not economical, we can advise on replacement options and handle the full installation of a new appliance or hot water unit.

If your stove is not heating, your hot water has stopped working, or your appliance is tripping the circuit breaker, call Lismore Electrical Services for a fast, reliable repair anywhere in the Northern Rivers.

Electrical Work for New Homes and Renovations

Building a new home or undertaking a renovation in the Northern Rivers region requires a licensed electrician who understands the local building process and can work reliably with your builder and other trades. Lismore Electrical Services provides complete electrical fit-out services for new homes and renovation projects across Lismore, Goonellabah, Casino and Ballina.

For new home builds, we handle every stage of the electrical work from the initial rough in, running all cables before walls are closed in, through to the fit off stage where power points, light switches, light fittings and safety switches are installed and tested. We coordinate with your builder to keep the project on schedule and provide all certificates of compliance required for occupation.

For renovations, we manage everything from adding new power points and circuits to a single room through to full rewires of older homes being brought up to current Australian Standards. Older homes in the Northern Rivers often have outdated wiring that needs to be replaced before renovation work can proceed safely.

We also assist with planning your electrical layout to ensure you have enough circuits and power points for modern living, including provisions for EV chargers, solar systems and home automation if required.

Whether you are building your first home, adding a granny flat, or renovating a heritage property, our team will give you a detailed quote and work closely with you throughout the project. Contact us to discuss your new home or renovation electrical requirements anywhere in the Northern Rivers region.

Testing and Tagging

Keeping your workplace electrically safe and compliant is a legal requirement for businesses across New South Wales. Lismore Electrical Services provides professional testing and tagging services for businesses, commercial premises, rental properties and construction sites across Lismore, Goonellabah, Casino and Ballina.

Testing and tagging involves the inspection and electrical testing of portable appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Each item that passes testing receives a dated tag showing when it was tested and when it is next due. Items that fail are removed from service and reported, helping you avoid potential injuries, insurance issues and WorkSafe compliance problems.

Under Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760, testing and tagging frequency varies depending on your industry and environment. Construction sites require testing every 3 months, most commercial workplaces every 12 months, and hire equipment before every hire. Our team will advise on the correct testing schedule for your specific workplace.

We test all types of portable electrical equipment including power tools, extension leads, office equipment, kitchen appliances and cleaning equipment. After completing a testing and tagging job we provide a full written report of all items tested, passed and failed, which you can keep on file for compliance purposes.

We offer scheduled testing and tagging so your business stays compliant without you having to remember to book it. Contact Lismore Electrical Services to arrange testing and tagging for your workplace anywhere in the Northern Rivers.
