The story
Meet Brian, the electrician behind Powerhub Electrical
I was born in rural Vietnam and came to Australia with my mum after losing my dad in an accident when I was young. Growing up, I learned that looking after the people around you is what gets returned to you later, and that shaped how I run this business.
I started my apprenticeship at twenty and have spent the past ten years on the tools, moving from commercial construction into residential maintenance because I preferred the direct contact with homeowners.
Powerhub Electrical began in 2023, and I still personally scope many of the jobs across St Ives and the wider Ku-ring-gai area, including the established, character homes you'll find near Ku-ring-gai Council's own planning updates for St Ives. Outside work, you'll usually find me at the gym, at a local cafe, or at the beach with my partner and our corgi.
Electrical services
Electrical services we offer across St Ives homes
From urgent repairs to full upgrades, our electrician team based in St Ives covers every job below:

Learn more →
Electrical Repairs
From a power point that stopped working to lights that flicker for no clear reason, our electricians diagnose the problem and repair it properly, without unnecessary return visits.
Learn more →
Electrical Fault Finding
Intermittent electrical faults are some of the hardest problems to pin down, and our electricians trace the issue back to its actual root source instead of simply replacing random parts.
Learn more →
Switchboard Upgrade
Many St Ives properties built decades ago still run on outdated fuse-style switchboards, so we upgrade them to modern safety-switch-protected boards that comply with current wiring standards and operate safely.
Learn more →
Safety Switch Installation
Safety switches cut power the instant a fault is detected, yet many older St Ives homes still rely on just one switch covering every single circuit throughout the entire property.
Learn more →
Lighting Installation
Whether you are brightening a renovated kitchen or replacing tired downlights throughout an older St Ives home, our electricians install lighting cleanly, safely and to current safety standards every time.
Learn more →
Ceiling Fan Installation
Warmer months make ceiling fans essential in larger St Ives living rooms and bedrooms, and our electricians mount every fan securely, wire it correctly and balance it for silent running.
Learn more →
Exhaust Fan Installation
Bathrooms and laundries in St Ives homes need proper ventilation to prevent mould, so we install exhaust fans that are correctly ducted, quiet in operation, and sized for the room.
Learn more →
Power Point Installation
Home offices, entertainment units, and kitchen benchtops across St Ives often need extra power points, and our electricians install them safely without overloading the existing household electrical circuit.
Learn more →
Home Rewiring
Established St Ives properties near Garigal National Park often carry wiring that is decades old, and we rewire these homes section by section to restore both safety and modern capacity.
Learn more →
3 Phase Power Upgrade
Larger St Ives homes with pools, home theatres or workshops often outgrow standard single-phase supply, so we design and install three-phase upgrades sized correctly for real, ongoing household electrical demand.
Learn more →
Level 2 Electrician
Knock-down rebuilds and major renovations across St Ives sometimes need new underground or overhead service connections, and our Level 2 electricians coordinate that specialised work with the local network operator.
Learn more →
Appliance Installation
Kitchen renovations are common in St Ives, and when a new oven, cooktop or rangehood arrives, we handle the electrical connection safely so the appliance is ready the same day.
Learn more →
Smoke Alarm Installation
Older homes around Ku-ring-gai often have smoke alarms that predate current photoelectric requirements, and our electricians replace and interconnect them so that every level of your home is always fully protected.
