Electrician Centenary Heights
Houses and townhouses in a suburb named in 1960, wired, upgraded and repaired by a Toowoomba Master Electrician.
Centenary Heights was named in 1960, and a run of schools opened there between 1960 and 1977, which suggests much of the suburb grew up in those decades. Homes from that period are now old enough to need their switchboards and wiring looked at. Care Technical Services, a Toowoomba Master Electrician operating since 1979, upgrades and repairs them, and looks after the suburb's many townhouses too.
Centenary Heights
Electrical systems age quietly. A switchboard that suited a 1960s or 1970s household may still work today, but without the safety switches, capacity or outlets a modern home expects. In Centenary Heights we see that alongside a large share of townhouses, 20.2% of occupied dwellings at the 2021 Census, and a renting share of 37.5%. Care Technical Services handles installation, repairs and preventive maintenance, explains what we find in plain terms, and offers 24/7 emergency call-outs for outages and equipment failure.
Why Care Technical Services
Why Choose Us in Centenary Heights
Centenary Heights has a higher share of townhouses than the Toowoomba average. At the 2021 Census, 20.2% of its 2,563 occupied private dwellings were semi-detached homes, townhouses or terraces, against 13.0% across the Toowoomba local government area, and 37.5% were rented. That mix of older houses, townhouses and rentals calls for an electrician who is careful about upgrades and clear with owners and agents.

Local Area Insights: Centenary Heights
Centenary Heights lies 4 kilometres south-east of the Toowoomba central business district. It was previously part of Middle Ridge and is now home to Centenary Heights State High School, Gabbinbar State School, St Thomas More's Primary School and the Martin Luther Primary campus of Concordia Lutheran College, along with parks such as Emmerson Park and Horner Reserve, which includes a large town water storage reserve.
The 2021 Census counted 6,152 residents with a median age of 37. Houses made up 77.3% of occupied dwellings and townhouses 20.2%, and 53.5% of homes had three bedrooms. Homes built in the decades after the suburb was named often keep their original switchboards and circuits, and those are where a safety inspection is most worthwhile.
Townhouses bring their own care points: shared walls, shared roof spaces and supply arrangements that can differ from block to block. We confirm which circuits belong to which dwelling before we isolate or change anything.

FAQs
Do you work on townhouses as well as houses in Centenary Heights?
Yes. We work on houses, townhouses and units, and we confirm which circuits and fittings belong to your dwelling before isolating anything.
Does a home from the 1960s or 1970s need rewiring?
Not automatically. Many older installations are still sound. We inspect the wiring, switchboard and safety switches and tell you what meets the current standard, what does not, and what we would do about it.
Can you replace an old switchboard with a modern one?
Yes. Switchboard upgrades are one of our most common jobs, and we add safety switches to protect the circuits.
Do you provide pre-purchase electrical reports?
Yes. We carry out pre-purchase testing and provide a report, so you know the condition of the electrical installation before you buy.
Who do we call if the power fails after hours?
Ring 0434 111 450 at any hour. Our emergency call-out service runs 24/7 for outages and equipment that has failed.
What do your warranties cover?
All electrical workmanship carries a 12-month warranty, and a full 5-year manufacturer's warranty applies to specific products.
