From sub-board installation and separate metering through to every circuit in the kitchen, bathroom and living areas — we wire Mudjimba granny flats and secondary dwellings from the ground up.
A secondary dwelling needs its own electrical supply — not a tap off the house wiring. A dedicated sub-board fed from the main switchboard, with RCD protection on every circuit, is required. If you're renting it out, a separate meter keeps tenant power costs separate. We handle all of this.
Everything your Mudjimba secondary dwelling needs — from the sub-board all the way through to the last power point and smoke alarm.
Mudjimba is a small beachside suburb where many homeowners are adding granny flats, studio apartments or secondary dwellings — for rental income, aging parents or adult children. Here's what the electrical side actually involves.
Mudjimba homeowners are adding secondary dwellings at a steady pace — granny flats for aging parents, studio apartments for rental income, converted sheds for adult children returning home. We wire all of them.
A secondary dwelling electrical fit-out isn't the same as wiring a room addition. It needs its own sub-board, its own circuit layout, its own smoke alarms and — if it's going to be tenanted — its own meter. We understand the requirements and we handle the whole job, including Energex coordination for new NMI connections.
We also convert existing sheds and garages into habitable secondary dwellings — starting from what is essentially a single power circuit and building it into a fully wired, compliant secondary dwelling. Pip Electrics is a locally owned Sunshine Coast electrical business. Straight advice, proper workmanship, no surprises.
"We had Pip Electrics wire our new granny flat from scratch — sub-board, all circuits, lights, power points, smoke alarms, the lot. Faultless job. Everything passed inspection first time and the finish inside is clean and neat. Highly recommend."
"Converted our old shed into a studio apartment and Pip Electrics did all the electrical work. They advised us on what we needed for a habitable dwelling, wired it properly, and handled all the compliance side. Really knew what they were doing."
"Needed a separate meter for the granny flat we're renting out. Pip Electrics handled the Energex application, installed the metering cabinet and got the connection sorted. Straightforward process — they knew exactly what to do and kept me updated throughout."
"Had a small studio wired up at the back of our property for my parents. Pip Electrics quoted clearly, turned up on time and did a tidy job. Sub-board, all the circuits, smoke alarms and data point done in a day. Exactly what we needed."
