A regional name is not a promise of coverage across all seven council areas. Start with the locality pages below and send your exact address when enquiring. Projects farther south or inland, including Byron Bay, Ballina and Lismore, require a separate availability check. A Northern Rivers property is in NSW: Queensland licence details, network processes and compliance rules should not simply be assumed to apply across the border.
Before booking NSW electrical work
Electrical work in NSW must be carried out under the applicable NSW licence or recognised interstate authorisation. Ask for the authorisation details and compliance documentation relevant to your job when arranging work.
Electrical services in Northern Rivers
- General electrical repairs and installation — FitElec handles lighting, ceiling fans, power points, safety switches and fault finding for homes and businesses. A fault investigation starts with the symptoms and testing rather than an assumed replacement. For new fittings, we assess the existing circuit, switching and installation position. Tell us about flickering lights, tripping circuits or damaged accessories so the visit can be scoped appropriately. Explore General electrical repairs and installation
- Solar panels and battery storage — Solar and battery systems are selected around roof space, shading, electricity usage and the existing installation. We discuss new solar, adding storage to existing solar and combined systems. Battery capacity is not the same as backup capability: identify the appliances you want supported during an outage so backup requirements can be assessed separately. Network connection requirements are checked for the NSW property. Explore Solar panels and battery storage
- Split-system air conditioning — FitElec supplies and installs split systems and replaces existing units. Room size, ceiling height, windows, insulation and use all influence equipment selection. Indoor airflow, outdoor-unit access, drainage and electrical supply also affect the installation. Send details of the rooms you want cooled and any existing system rather than choosing a unit solely from its advertised floor-area rating. Explore Split-system air conditioning
- Switchboard and safety-switch upgrades — An assessment checks the condition, protection and capacity of the existing switchboard before recommending changes. Additional cooking equipment, cooling, solar or other large loads may require circuit or board modifications. We explain what needs changing and why, including access and any planned interruption to supply. Do not remove switchboard covers or bypass protection to investigate a fault yourself. Explore Switchboard and safety-switch upgrades
- TV, antenna and data cabling — Plan television mounting, antenna connections and data points around how the rooms will be used. Wall construction, cable routes, power availability and equipment positions influence the installation. For a home office, discuss where the internet connection enters the property and which devices need wired connections. FitElec can assess the practical layout before walls are finished or furniture is fixed in place. Explore TV, antenna and data cabling
- Appliance installation — Hardwired ovens, cooktops and other appliances need their connection requirements checked against the existing supply. Provide the new make and model, the appliance being replaced and details of any cabinetry changes. A replacement is not always a like-for-like electrical job, particularly where the new appliance has different load requirements. The quote identifies any necessary circuit changes before installation is arranged. Explore Appliance installation
- New builds and renovations — FitElec plans electrical fit-outs with homeowners and builders, from outlet and lighting layouts through to appliance circuits and fit-off. Early coordination helps identify access requirements, future loads and work that must happen before linings are installed. Bring the plans, appliance schedule and construction sequence so rough-in, testing and completion can be considered together rather than as disconnected visits. Explore New builds and renovations

One project brief for electrical and energy work
A renovation involving cooling, a new cooktop and solar is best considered as a connected set of electrical requirements. Tell FitElec what is changing now and what is planned later. We assess equipment, circuits and installation access before recommending the scope. A property-specific quote is more useful than a regional package that assumes every home's roof, electricity supply and usage pattern are the same.

- Electrical and energy services together — Coordinate ordinary electrical work with solar, storage and cooling instead of overlooking the combined effect on circuits, equipment placement and access.
