Upgrading Your Home: Top Electrical Services Offered in Cairns

An electrician is a highly skilled professional who can specialise in a variety of services. This can range from planning and installing wiring in a new home to testing and repairing electrical equipment or providing specialised electrical installations. At Intrust Group, we specialise in all things electrical in Cairns. Below, we look at some of the ways our expert electricians help local homeowners.

Wiring and Rewiring Your Home

A general electrician in Cairns carries out a range of standard, everyday services required by homeowners. This includes connecting and disconnecting wires to electrical fittings, circuit breakers, safety switches or other components in your home electrical system as required to meet your electrical service needs. 

During new builds or renovations, a professional electrician will be in charge of planning, writing and interpreting wiring diagrams and floor plans. From there, they plan the layout and installation of electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures, based on job specifications and local codes. 

Upgrades to Your Home

An electrician plays an important role in wiring up any electrical components when you’re adding upgrades or special features to your home. Solar panels, heated pools, smart home setups, automated gates and home security systems are just a few examples of these specialised electrical installation services.

Inspections and Testing

Electricians also help homeowners diagnose problems with electrical systems and circuits in electrical wiring, appliances, equipment, and fixtures, using devices such as ohmmeters, voltmeters, and insulation resistance testers. They also look for issues like exposed wiring, poor connections, overloaded circuits, failing components and imbalanced loads using specialised tools like thermal imaging. 

Repairs and Replacements

Of course, one of the most important services an electrician provides for homeowners is repairing or replacing electrical wiring, appliances, apparatus, equipment, and fixtures. While getting something like a light switch or power outlet replaced may seem like a simple service, it’s essential to ensure it’s done right. Safety concerns aside, poor workmanship is more inconvenient and expensive in the long run. Rushed installations and cheap components mean deterioration and failure occurs sooner.
