When the storm hits and the grid goes down, Yandina homeowners and small businesses need more than extension leads. We install proper standby generator connections, manual and automatic transfer switches, and whole-home backup power systems — so the lights stay on no matter what.
Yandina's hinterland location means Energex restoration crews reach coastal suburbs first. During storm season, Yandina can be without power for 6–24 hours or more. A proper transfer switch and generator means you're never at the mercy of that wait.
From a simple manual changeover switch to a fully automatic whole-home backup system — every installation is done to code, safely, and with the hinterland conditions in mind.
Yandina is a hinterland township. That matters when the storms roll in — and in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, they roll in hard. Here's what we see on the ground, every wet season.
A properly installed manual changeover switch physically isolates the property from the Energex network before generator power is connected. This protects linemen working on the grid and keeps your household safe. No extension leads. No back-feed risk. Done to code.
We install generator connections to comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and Energex network connection requirements. Every job comes with a Certificate of Test and the peace of mind that your backup power is safe, legal, and reliable when you need it most.
Pip Electrics is a locally owned electrical business — not a franchise or a call centre. We work right across the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and we understand what Yandina's storm season demands: fast response, reliable backup power solutions, and electrical work that can stand up to the conditions.
Whether you're a homeowner wanting to be storm-ready before the wet season, a rural property owner who can't afford to lose power for days on end, or a small business in the Ginger Factory precinct that can't afford downtime — we've installed the right backup power solution for you. Generator connections, automatic transfer switches, battery backup, and generator-ready switchboards — we do it all, and we do it properly.

"Very happy with Matt from Pip Electrics. We also had the generator switchover and socket installed. We will call on him again in the future."
"Had Pip Electrics come out to our place after the recent storms to check our solar panels and appliances throughout the house had not been affected. They provided a detailed report for our insurance company and were very prompt with their service"
