Our Residential Electrical Services

If you're in need of a residential electrician in the Northern Rivers, you want someone who can handle everything your home throws at them. At Rob Ward Electrical Services we cover the full range of household needs, from quick repairs right through to major installations and upgrades.


No job is too small or too complex. One visit might be a single faulty powerpoint, the next could be wiring an entire new build from the ground up. Whatever the task, a good residential electrician in the Northern Rivers should make the whole process simple and stress-free for you.


Below is a breakdown of the everyday services we provide for homeowners, so you can see exactly how we can help.

General Electrical Repairs & Maintenance

Everyday faults have a way of appearing at the worst possible moment. We track down and fix faulty outlets, tripping circuits and damaged wiring before they turn into bigger problems. Regular maintenance keeps your system running smoothly, and our team will always explain what went wrong so you can avoid a repeat.

Switchboard & Safety Switch Upgrades

Older switchboards often struggle to cope with modern power demands. We upgrade tired boards and fit safety switches that cut the power instantly when a fault is detected. This simple improvement protects your family from electric shock, reduces fire risk and brings your home in line with current safety requirements.

New Home & Renovation Wiring

Building or extending is the ideal time to get the wiring right. We handle rough-in wiring for new builds and extensions, planning circuits, points and lighting around how you actually live. Getting involved early means fewer surprises later and a finished home that is both practical and fully compliant from day one.

Ceiling Fans, Lights & Downlights

From a single fan in the bedroom to a full lighting refresh, we install and replace ceiling fans, lights and downlights throughout the home. We can help you choose energy efficient options that suit each space, then fit them neatly and safely so you enjoy better light and better airflow.

Smoke Alarm Installation & Testing

Working smoke alarms save lives, and the rules around them are stricter than many people realise. We install and test alarms in the right locations, replace ageing units and make sure everything meets current legislation. It is a small job that delivers real peace of mind for your whole household.

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting

Good outdoor lighting makes your property safer and far more enjoyable after dark. We design and install garden lighting to highlight your favourite features, along with security lighting to deter unwanted visitors. Whether you want subtle ambience or bright coverage, we will light your outdoor spaces to suit the way you use them.

Data Cabling & TV Points

A reliable connection matters more than ever with so much of home life online. We install data cabling and TV points wherever you need them, so streaming, working and gaming all run without a hitch. Neat, hardwired connections beat patchy wireless every time and add real value to your home.

EV Charger Installation

Electric vehicles are becoming a common sight across the region, and charging at home is by far the most convenient option. We install dedicated EV chargers that top up your car safely overnight, sized correctly for your vehicle and your switchboard. Skip the public queues and wake up to a full battery.

Air Conditioning Wiring

Split system air conditioners need proper electrical connections to run safely and efficiently. We handle the wiring and dedicated circuits your system requires, working alongside your installer or as part of a larger job. Done right, you get reliable comfort through summer and winter without overloading the rest of your home.

Solar & Battery Systems

Cutting your power bills starts with the right solar setup. We install grid-connect solar and battery systems designed around your household usage, helping you store energy and become less reliant on the grid. From panels on the roof to a battery in the garage, we handle the full electrical side.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should home electrical systems be inspected?

    Home electrical systems should be inspected every 3 to 5 years, depending on the age of your property and usage. Regular inspections help identify wear and tear, outdated components and potential fire risks. If your home is older or you’re experiencing flickering lights, circuit trips or unusual noises, it’s wise to schedule an inspection sooner to maintain safety.

  • Can I do my own electrical work at home?

    In Australia, it is illegal for unlicensed individuals to carry out electrical work. DIY electrical tasks are highly dangerous and can lead to fires, serious injury or voided insurance claims. Always engage a licensed electrician for any electrical work to ensure compliance with safety regulations and local laws.

  • What are signs of electrical issues in my home?

    Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, burning smells, flickering lights, buzzing noises from outlets or switches, and warm wall plates. These can indicate overloaded circuits, faulty wiring or failing components. Prompt attention from a professional electrician prevents hazards and costly repairs.
