My Palm Beach home is original from the 1970s. Where do I start with the electrical?

Start with an inspection. Jayson will assess the switchboard, check the visible wiring, test the RCDs and give you a clear picture of what's compliant, what's aged but functional, and what needs attention. From there you can prioritise — not everything in a 1970s home needs to be replaced immediately, and a clear assessment avoids spending money on unnecessary work.

Can you do a full electrical fit-out for a new build in Palm Beach?

Yes. FitElec handles complete new build electrical fit-outs — from pre-construction planning and Energex service application through rough-in, switchboard installation, fit-off and occupation certificate electrical. For Palm Beach new builds, Jayson is also available for site meetings with your builder and can attend at each stage without scheduling delays.

Electrical, solar and renovation services for Palm Beach homes and businesses.

FitElec continues to serve Palm Beach from its base around Tweed Heads. Palm Beach homes range from older fibro and brick properties to coastal rebuilds and multi-dwelling developments, each with different electrical needs. Older wiring and fuse boards may need assessment before adding air conditioning, solar or new cooking appliances. For renovations and new builds, early electrical planning helps coordinate circuits, lighting and equipment positions. Jayson holds Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #1505994 and handles everything from a single power point to a complete new-build fit-out in Palm Beach and the surrounding southern Gold Coast. Call to discuss your job and confirm an appointment.

Palm Beach's original housing stock — predominantly built between the late 1950s and 1980s — was wired for a time when a family ran a fridge, a television and a few lights. That same wiring now supports air conditioning, induction cooktops, heat pump hot water systems, EV chargers and home offices. Many of these homes are also in the coastal zone, meaning outdoor fittings and connections are subject to accelerated corrosion from salt air. Knockdown-rebuilds and major renovations are the other major thread — these require a full new electrical fit-out that FitElec handles from planning stage through to occupation certificate.

Electrical services in Palm Beach

All general electrical work — Power points, lighting, fan installation, safety switches, fault finding and LED upgrades — FitElec handles the full range of residential electrical work in Palm Beach. Send your address and job details so we can discuss the assessment needed and arrange a visit.
Renovation and knockdown rebuild electrical — Palm Beach has a high rate of major renovation and knockdown-rebuild activity. FitElec works from renovation plans and builder schedules — rough-in during the construction phase, switchboard installation after frame-up, and fit-off before the plasterers complete. Jayson co-ordinates with your builder and is available for each stage without the scheduling friction of a trade from a different area.
Solar and battery installation — Palm Beach's sunny coastal climate makes it ideal for solar. FitElec designs and installs solar systems for Palm Beach homes — sized correctly for each roof and household, with battery storage options for those who want backup capability or maximum self-consumption. Energex connection approval is managed as part of every installation.
Switchboard upgrades — Many original Palm Beach homes have switchboards that are 30 to 50 years old. FitElec replaces these with modern switchboards — adding RCD safety switches, increasing circuit capacity and providing a platform for future load additions like EV chargers and solar inverters. Work is quoted and completed with minimal disruption.
EV charger installation — EV charger installation is growing in Palm Beach as residents replace vehicles. FitElec installs dedicated EV charging circuits and wall chargers for Palm Beach homes — assessing switchboard capacity, running the circuit to the garage or driveway, and commissioning the charger to the appropriate standard.
Outdoor and coastal electrical — Salt air accelerates corrosion on outdoor electrical fittings in Palm Beach. FitElec specifies and installs weatherproof outdoor GPOs, coastal-grade luminaires, pool and garden lighting and sensor lights with appropriate IP ratings for the coastal environment — fittings that will still be working in five years without intervention.
