Renovating in Hervey Bay? Get the Electrical Right
Renovation electrical is genuinely different to new build — you're working with existing circuits that may or may not handle new loads, you're cutting into walls that need to look untouched afterwards, and you're working around plumbers, tilers and cabinet installers who all want their day in the same room. Our Sparky has done hundreds of Hervey Bay renovations and we know how to slot in cleanly.
Common gotchas we plan around: kitchen renovations almost always need new dedicated circuits for ovens/induction cooktops/dishwashers; bathroom renovations need IPX-rated lighting and exhaust fans wired to the right zones; second-storey additions usually need a sub-board fed by an upgraded sub-main; old aluminium wiring (yes, some Hervey Bay homes have it) needs careful joining with anti-oxidant compound or full replacement.
We work directly for owner-renovators and as a coordinated trade for builders. Free walk-through of your renovation plans, fixed-price quote, scheduled to fit your build program, AS/NZS 3000:2018 compliant work, and a compliance certificate on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does kitchen renovation electrical cost in Hervey Bay?
- A typical kitchen reno electrical package (new oven/cooktop circuits, dishwasher circuit, rangehood, downlights, power points to new layout) runs $1,800-$3,500. Quoted against your kitchen design.
- Do I need to upgrade my switchboard for a renovation?
- Often yes — older switchboards may not have spare circuits for the new dedicated kitchen and bathroom circuits, and most don't have RCBO protection. We assess at quote stage.

- Yes — we coordinate with your builder, plumber and tiler. We can do staged visits (rough-in then fix-out) or single-trip jobs depending on scope.
