Electrical maintenance for aged care and retirement villages
Compliance without disruption. We keep your site’s electrical testing, faults and paperwork on track, and we do it around your residents’ routines, not the other way round.
Armitage Electrical looks after aged care facilities and retirement villages across Brisbane’s northside and Moreton Bay. You get one licensed contractor for routine compliance testing and urgent faults, with documented reporting ready for your next audit.
What we look after
Emergency and exit lighting. Six-monthly testing to AS/NZS 2293.2, failed fittings replaced, and logbook records kept up to date.
RCDs and switchboards. RCD (safety switch) testing, switchboard inspections and upgrades to keep circuits protected and compliant.
Test and tag. Portable appliance testing to AS/NZS 3760, including residents’ personal appliances, on the schedule your site needs.
Smoke alarms. Supply, testing, replacement and interconnection of 240V smoke alarms in villas, independent living units and common areas. Building fire detection systems and fire panels stay with your fire services contractor.
Nurse call and emergency call faults. We find and fix the power and cabling side of nurse call and emergency call faults, working alongside your IT team or system provider so problems get resolved, not passed back and forth.
General electrical and lighting. Power points, lighting upgrades, LED changeovers, outdoor and pathway lighting, and the day-to-day repairs a busy site needs.

Working respectfully around your residents
An aged care site is someone’s home. Our team plans work to cause the least disruption possible. We check in with staff before entering rooms, keep noise and power interruptions to agreed times, and tell you in advance about any planned shutdowns so you can prepare residents and equipment. We take extra care around residents living with dementia: we move calmly, explain what we’re doing in plain language, don’t leave tools or leads unattended, and step back or come back later if a resident becomes unsettled. Corridors and walkways stay clear, and we clean up as we go.
