Electrician in Inala
Looking for a reliable electrician in Inala? Same Day Trades handle everything from switchboard upgrades and safety switches to lighting, power points and fault finding, with fully licensed and insured electricians, upfront pricing and no call-out fee.
Electrician Services in Inala
We cover all residential and commercial electrical work in Inala, safely and to current standards, whether it is a single power point or a whole-home rewire.
Inala is a large south-west suburb of 1950s and 1960s housing-commission homes and a busy civic and shopping precinct, so ageing switchboard upgrades and rewiring make up most of our work. Whatever the job, you get a licensed electrician, upfront pricing and work that meets current Queensland electrical safety standards.
Common Electrical Problems in Inala
Inala’s post-war housing-commission homes were wired in the 1950s and 60s, so old switchboards, ceramic fuses, undersized supply and brittle or aluminium wiring are very common.
Some older boards still sit behind an asbestos panel that must be handled carefully, and many homes have never had proper safety switches fitted.
Our licensed electricians know Inala’s post-war homes, upgrading old boards safely, rewiring and bringing homes up to current Queensland standards.
Switchboard Upgrades in Inala
An old or overloaded switchboard is one of the most common electrical problems we fix in Inala. Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or a board that trips whenever you run the kettle and the air conditioner together are all signs it needs upgrading.
We replace tired boards with modern switchboards fitted with circuit breakers and safety switches, sized for how you actually use power. Every upgrade is tested, certified and brought up to current Queensland standards.
Talk to us about switchboard upgrades for your Inala home or business.
Safety Switches and RCDs in Inala
Plenty of Inala homes have just one safety switch, or none at all, leaving whole circuits unprotected. A safety switch is what stops a fault from becoming a fatal shock.
We fit RCDs and safety switches across your circuits, test that they trip correctly, and make sure your home meets current Queensland electrical safety rules.
Our switchboard upgrades include fitting and testing safety switches throughout Inala.
Power Points and GPOs in Inala
Relying on power boards and double adaptors in your Inala home is a sign you need more power points. Old two-pin or cracked outlets also need replacing before they cause trouble.
We install new GPOs, USB points and outdoor power points, and run dedicated circuits where appliances need them, keeping everything safe and compliant.

Lighting and Ceiling Fans in Inala
From energy-efficient LED downlights to outdoor, security and sensor lighting, our Inala electricians design and install lighting that suits each room. Old halogen and fluorescent fittings are upgraded to efficient, long-lasting LEDs.
We install and repair ceiling fans too, including replacing old fans and adding fans to bedrooms and living areas for year-round comfort.

Electrical Fault Finding in Inala
A circuit that keeps tripping, a burning smell, or half the house losing power are all signs of a fault that needs proper diagnosis. We find electrical faults fast across Inala.
Using the right testing equipment, our electricians locate the fault, explain what caused it, and carry out a lasting repair.

House Rewiring in Inala
Whether it is one dodgy circuit or a whole house of ageing cable, our Inala electricians rewire safely and tidily. Old wiring is one of the most important safety upgrades a home can get.

Old Switchboard Upgrades and Asbestos-Panel Boards
Many Inala homes still run 1950s-60s boards with ceramic fuses, undersized supply and sometimes an asbestos backing panel, none of which are safe for modern loads.
We upgrade switchboards, handle any asbestos backing safely, fit safety switches on every circuit, and certify the work.
Rewiring Post-War Homes
Inala’s post-war homes often run brittle or aluminium wiring from the original build, which is well past its service life. Rewiring removes the risk.
We carry out full and partial rewires and fit a modern board with safety switches at the same time.
Safety Switches and Power Upgrades
Many older Inala homes have few or no safety switches and too few power points for modern living.
We fit safety switches on every circuit and add power points and dedicated circuits sized to the home.
Electrical Brands We Install and Service in Inala
From Clipsal and HPM to Schneider Electric, Hager, NHP and Legrand switchgear, plus quality LED lighting and ceiling-fan brands, we install trusted electrical products across Inala.
We recommend fittings based on what suits your Inala home and budget, not what we are tied to, and we service and source parts for most major brands.
Smoke Alarm Installation and Compliance in Inala
Under Queensland law, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms are now required in all homes being sold or rented, and will be mandatory in every home. If your Inala property still has old single-battery alarms, it is not compliant.
We install hardwired, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in the right locations, test the system, and bring your Inala home up to the current standard, important for landlords and sellers especially.
EV Charger Installation in Inala
Home EV charging is growing fast across Inala, and doing it safely means a dedicated charger and circuit, not an extension lead to a power point. We set it up properly.
Our electricians install EV chargers, check and upgrade your switchboard capacity, and make sure the installation meets current standards.
Emergency Electrician in Inala
A dangerous electrical fault in Inala, exposed wiring, a hot switchboard, or sudden loss of power, is not something to leave. Our emergency electricians get to you quickly, isolate the danger and fix the fault so your home is safe again.
