Electrician in Kiama

The full details for Kiama

Kiama is known for the Blowhole, the harbour and the coastal walk, but the town itself has a remarkable range of homes. There are the old timber terraces on Collins Street, weatherboard cottages near the town centre, solid brick homes on the hills and modern builds making the most of the ocean views. We drive down from Warilla regularly and enjoy working in all of them.

Coastal homes, coastal problems

Living this close to the ocean is wonderful, but salt air is hard on anything electrical that lives outside. Wall lights, sensor lights, outdoor power points and even meter boxes on the weather side of a house can corrode surprisingly quickly in Kiama.

Signs your outdoor fittings need attention include rust around screws and covers, cracked or cloudy light diffusers, and a safety switch that trips after rain or heavy sea spray. Replacing tired fittings with ones suited to coastal conditions, and sealing the cable entries properly, means you are not doing the same job again in a year or two. Our outdoor and security lighting page has more on what we do.

Older homes near the town centre

Heritage and older homes around central Kiama often come with old wiring and small, outdated switchboards. If you are restoring or renovating, it pays to plan the electrical work early. A switchboard upgrade with safety switches on every circuit gives you modern protection without changing the look of the house. Where cabling is old or has been patched over the years, a partial or full rewire can be done carefully to minimise disruption to original features.

Holiday homes and rentals

Plenty of Kiama properties are holiday homes or short-term rentals. For owners who are not local, it helps to have an electrician who can keep things in order. Common jobs include:

• Replacing and testing smoke alarms, including interconnected alarms
• Upgrading lighting to long-life LEDs so guests are not left with blown globes
• Adding USB power points by beds and in living areas
• Smart doorbells, cameras and app controlled lighting for keeping an eye on things remotely

If you live out of the area, we can send photos and a clear summary of what we found and what we did, so you are never left guessing.

On call when you need it

We are open 24 hours for emergency call outs. If a storm comes through or you lose power to part of the house, call and explain what is going on. We will help you stay safe until we get there.

Electrical work should be clear, reliable and done right the first time. That is how Kalani runs Flowstate Electrical Co, and it is why we hold a 5.0 star rating from 66 Google reviews.

We also look after Kiama Downs and Jamberoo, plus the rest of Kiama and the South Coast.
