Dr Watt services Maleny and the surrounding Blackall Range communities, including Witta, Reesville, Booroobin and Bald Knob. We work on older timber homes, acreage, farms and businesses in town, and we know the conditions up on the range: more rain, more storms and longer distances between buildings.

Electrical work suited to Maleny properties
Older homes and Queenslanders
Older homes can have older switchboards and wiring that are worth assessing. We handle:
- Switchboard upgrades from ceramic fuses to circuit breakers and safety switches
- Rewiring, with care taken around original timber walls and ceilings
- Electrical inspections for buyers of older homes
Acreage and farms
On rural blocks, the electrics extend well beyond the house:
- Power to sheds, workshops, studios and farm buildings, with underground cable sized for long distances
- Pump circuits for tanks, dams and irrigation
- Sub-boards with their own safety switches
- Driveway, yard and shed lighting
Rain, mist and moisture
Maleny is wetter and mistier than the coast. Persistent moisture finds its way into outdoor lights, power points, junction boxes and shed wiring, and that's one of the most common reasons safety switches trip on the range. We find where the moisture is getting in and replace fittings with ones rated for the conditions. See fault finding.
Storms and outages
Storms on the range bring down trees and lines more often than on the coast. If a line is down, stay well clear and call Energex on 13 19 62. Once supply is back, we repair storm damage to fittings, wiring and switchboards on your side of the connection, and check that appliances and circuits are safe before you rely on them.
Businesses in Maleny
Shops, cafes and galleries along Maple Street and around town: fit-outs, lighting, kitchen equipment circuits and repairs. See commercial electrician services.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair storm damage after a power outage?
Yes. After Energex restores supply, we can check and repair damaged fittings, switchboards and wiring, and test circuits before you switch everything back on.
