Does Your Home Need Rewiring or New Circuits?
You may need rewiring or new circuits if breakers trip often, power points run warm, or there aren't enough outlets for how you live now.
Adding an oven, air conditioner, spa or EV charger often needs its own circuit.

Queensland Rules for New Wiring
What applies before and during wiring work in your home.
A Safety Switch Comes First
An electrician can't do installation work in your home unless the power points have a safety switch, or the job includes fitting one. Urgent emergency and safety work is an exception.
Source: Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, s 30
Adding a Power Point Is Licensed Work
Installing a new power point is electrical work under Queensland law. Doing it yourself is unlicensed work, and it's illegal.
Source: Electrical Safety Office
Older Boards May Contain Asbestos
Switchboards built or imported before 1 January 2004 may contain asbestos, and you can't tell by looking. Don't drill or cut an old board yourself.

Read our rewiring cost guide- Size of the home. More rooms, more cable and more points.
- Access. Low roof space, slab floors and two storeys.
- Number of circuits. Each new circuit needs its own cable and protection.
- The switchboard. No room or no safety switch may mean an upgrade.
- Wiring condition. Damaged cable found in testing gets replaced.
- Asbestos. A board built before 2004 may need asbestos safe work procedures.

Wiring and New Circuits FAQ
Questions Gold Coast homeowners ask us about rewiring and adding circuits.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Common signs are breakers that trip often, power points or switches that feel warm, flickering lights, a burning smell and old fuses at the switchboard. Older homes are more likely to have wiring that's past its best. The reliable way to know is to test it. We test the wiring and earthing, then tell you whether it needs a full rewire, a partial one or just repairs.
How much does it cost to rewire a house on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the home, so we don't price it before we've seen it. The size of the house, roof and floor access, the number of circuits, the condition of the switchboard and whether the old panel may contain asbestos all affect the figure. We test first, then give you one fixed price before work starts. Our rewiring cost guide explains the factors in more detail.
Can I add extra power points to an existing room?
Yes. We add power points to existing rooms by running new cable through the roof space or walls, either from a suitable existing circuit or a new one if that circuit is already loaded. If you rely on power boards and double adaptors, extra outlets are the safer fix. Installing a power point is electrical work, so a licensed electrician must do it.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for a new appliance?
Often, yes. Ovens, cooktops, ducted air conditioning, spa pumps and EV chargers usually need their own circuit and protection at the switchboard. The appliance's installation instructions and your board's capacity decide it. We check the board and your supply before quoting, so you know up front whether you need a new circuit, a switchboard upgrade or both.
Do you need to fit a safety switch before adding new circuits?
If the power points in your home don't have one, usually yes. Under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, a licensed electrician can't do installation work in a home unless the power point circuits have an approved safety switch, or the job includes fitting one. Urgent emergency and safety work is an exception. We check this when we quote, so any safety switch you need is in the fixed price.
Will I get a certificate for new wiring?
Yes. For electrical installation work, Queensland law requires the electrical contractor to give a certificate of testing and compliance, which confirms the work has been tested. It goes to the person the work was done for, which on a renovation may be your builder. Keep it with your property records. If you ever need to show what work was done and that it was tested, that's the document to have.
How long does it take to rewire a house or add circuits?
It depends on the size of the home and how easy the roof and walls are to get into. Adding a few power points or one new circuit can often be done in a day. A full rewire takes longer. When we quote, we tell you how long the job should take and when the power will be off, so you can plan around it.
Could my old switchboard contain asbestos?
It's possible. Queensland's asbestos authority says switchboards and meter boards built or imported before 1 January 2004 may contain asbestos, and you can't tell by looking. Drilling or cutting into one can release fibres, so never work on an old board yourself. Work on an older board follows asbestos safe work procedures. We don't remove asbestos, but we'll tell you if a licensed asbestos removalist is needed.
