My Broadbeach apartment has old wiring — do I need a full rewire?

Not necessarily. A full rewire is only needed if the existing wiring is actively deteriorating or incapable of handling modern loads. In many cases a switchboard upgrade with RCD protection, combined with targeted repairs to any damaged sections, is sufficient. Jayson will inspect the existing installation and give you an honest assessment of what is actually required — not the most expensive option.

Can you install a 3-phase supply for my Broadbeach restaurant?

Yes. FitElec installs 3-phase supply for commercial kitchens and large restaurants, including the switchboard upgrade and Energex application where a supply upgrade is required. Jayson will assess the existing supply capacity, design the circuit layout for your equipment and provide a fixed-price quote. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption to trading hours.

Are outdoor electrical fittings in Broadbeach different from standard?

Yes — for outdoor locations in coastal environments like Broadbeach, fittings should have a minimum IP55 rating (dust-tight and jet-water resistant) and be manufactured from materials resistant to salt-air corrosion. FitElec specifies appropriate fittings for coastal outdoor use rather than standard indoor-rated products that will deteriorate rapidly in the salt-air environment.

Electrician Broadbeach | Homes & Hospitality | FitElec

Electrician for Broadbeach apartments, restaurants, luxury fitouts and beachside homes.

Broadbeach has evolved into one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after lifestyle precincts — a mix of high-end apartments, acclaimed restaurants, major retail at Pacific Fair and short-term tourist accommodation alongside an active permanent resident population. The suburb's proximity to the ocean also brings a specific challenge: salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on outdoor electrical fittings, meter enclosures and exposed wiring connections. FitElec works across Broadbeach's diverse property mix — apartment switchboard upgrades, commercial kitchen 3-phase circuits for the restaurant strip, and complete renovation electrical for prestige units and townhouses. Jayson holds Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #1505994 and covers all notifiable electrical work in Broadbeach and surrounding suburbs. A Certificate of Compliance is issued on every notifiable job.

Broadbeach sits at the intersection of three electrical markets: the high-density residential apartment sector, the hospitality and commercial strip, and the prestige renovation market. Apartment buildings near the beach — particularly those built in the 1980s and 1990s — have been subject to years of salt air exposure that can degrade connections in meter rooms and on rooftop plant. Commercial kitchens and large restaurant tenancies require 3-phase supply and heavy-duty circuit protection. Prestige apartment renovations often involve complete rewiring, home automation integration, and specification-grade lighting control.

Electrical services in Broadbeach

Apartment electrical and switchboard upgrades — Broadbeach's older apartment stock often has switchboards that predate current RCD requirements. FitElec upgrades apartment switchboards with modern RCD-protected boards, adds circuit capacity for air conditioning and kitchen appliances, and repairs salt-damaged connections in meter rooms and common area wiring.
Hospitality and commercial kitchen circuits — Restaurants, cafes and commercial kitchens on the Broadbeach strip need 3-phase supply for ovens, fryers, dishwashers and refrigeration. FitElec installs dedicated heavy-duty circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, ensures appropriate circuit protection and co-ordinates shutdown periods with operators to minimise trading downtime.
Outdoor entertainment and weatherproof electrical — Alfresco dining areas, rooftop terraces and beachside outdoor spaces require weatherproof fittings rated for coastal salt-air environments. FitElec specifies and installs IP-rated GPOs, outdoor lighting and weatherproof circuit enclosures designed to withstand Broadbeach's marine conditions.
Prestige renovation wiring — High-end apartment renovations in Broadbeach frequently involve full rewires, specification lighting plans and integration with home automation systems. FitElec works from renovation plans and co-ordinates with builders, cabinet makers and AV installers to deliver the electrical component to specification — including dedicated circuits for home theatres and kitchen appliances.
Solar and battery for apartments — Body corporate solar installations on Broadbeach apartment buildings are increasingly common. FitElec assesses roof orientation, available panel area and common area load to design a building solar system that reduces shared electricity costs and improves the building's energy credentials for owners and tenants alike.
LED lighting upgrade — LED downlight upgrades are one of the highest-return investments a Broadbeach apartment or commercial tenancy can make. FitElec replaces halogen and older fluorescent lighting with quality LED fittings, reducing electricity consumption significantly and eliminating the heat output of halogen globes that can affect air conditioning load.

Why Gold Coast locals choose FitElec

Experience with coastal electrical conditions — Salt air corrosion is a real issue in Broadbeach — outdoor meter boards, exposed connections and rooftop plant are all vulnerable. Jayson specifies materials and fittings appropriate for marine environments and identifies corrosion damage during inspections before it causes failures. Using the right products in coastal conditions saves money in the long run.

FitElec covers all of these under one contractor licence, avoiding the co-ordination burden of multiple trades and ensuring consistent quality across every scope of work.
Fixed-price quotes before work starts — For Broadbeach apartment and commercial jobs, Jayson provides a written fixed-price quote before touching anything.
