Bayside Electrical Group provides reliable electrical services across Maroubra, from beachside apartments facing the Pacific to fibro cottages and brick homes in the established residential streets. Our team understands this family-focused coastal suburb's electrical landscape, where a mix of housing ages and coastal conditions demands experienced, adaptable electricians.
With full licensing (Licence 388283C) and deep local knowledge, we handle everything from rewiring post-war fibro homes to installing solar systems on modern townhouses. Our electricians are equipped for coastal work, using corrosion-resistant components that withstand Maroubra's salt air while delivering safe, compliant electrical solutions.
Maroubra Housing and Electrical Needs
Maroubra's housing stock is notably diverse, featuring substantial numbers of post-war fibro cottages and weatherboard homes from the 1940s-1960s throughout the central and southern areas, alongside solid brick homes and Californian bungalows from the same era. The beachfront and Maroubra Bay precinct contain modern apartment developments and renovated units, while streets closer to Anzac Parade feature 1970s-1980s brick unit blocks.
The prevalence of post-war fibro and weatherboard construction means frequent rewiring jobs as these homes undergo renovation, with original installations often featuring outdated wiring methods, insufficient circuits, and no safety switches. Coastal properties require salt-resistant specifications, while the many family homes with pools, sheds, and outdoor entertainment areas need extensive outdoor electrical work.
Common Electrical Issues in Maroubra
Maroubra's mix of post-war housing and coastal location creates these typical electrical problems:
- Original aluminium wiring in 1960s-1970s homes and unit blocks, which oxidises over time creating fire risks and connection failures
- Undersized electrical services in fibro cottages, typically only 60-80 amps, insufficient for modern air conditioning and appliance loads
- Deteriorating external wiring to detached garages, sheds, and granny flats where exposed cables and poor weatherproofing cause frequent faults
- Non-compliant pool equipment and outdoor circuits lacking proper RCD protection

Maroubra Electrician FAQ
Should I rewire my fibro cottage in Maroubra during renovation?
If your fibro home still has original wiring from the 1950s-1970s, rewiring during renovation is highly recommended and often required to pass building inspections. Rewiring costs $8,000-$18,000 depending on home size but is most cost-effective when walls are already opened for other renovation work.
How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service from 60 to 100 amps in Maroubra?
The complete upgrade typically costs $2,500-$4,500 depending on the distance from the street to your meter box and whether underground trenching is required. This upgrade is often necessary when adding air conditioning, pool equipment, or EV chargers.
Do you install and maintain electrical systems for swimming pools in Maroubra?
Yes, we handle pool pumps, heaters, chlorinators, lighting, and outdoor power, ensuring everything is correctly bonded and protected per AS/NZS 3000. We also conduct electrical safety inspections required when selling properties with pools.
Can you help with electrical issues in older Maroubra unit blocks?
Absolutely. We work with strata managers on upgrading shared switchboards, replacing common area lighting, repairing intercom systems, and addressing individual unit faults. Our invoicing works seamlessly with strata management processes.
