EV & Electrify Everything Expo June 21st

Noosa Electric Co Returns to Sunshine Beach EV Expo – Join Us June 22!

We’re excited to announce that Noosa Electric Co will be attending the EV & Electrify Everything Expo for the third year in a row, happening on June 21 2026. As a proudly local electrician servicing Noosa, Pomona, Bli Bli, Twin Waters and beyond, we’re passionate about supporting the Sunshine Coast’s transition to cleaner, smarter energy solutions — and there’s no better place to explore the future of electrification than this fantastic community event.

Last year’s expo was a great success, with locals turning out in force to learn about electric vehicles, solar technology, battery storage, and all things sustainable. This year, we’re bringing even more insight, experience and practical knowledge to the table — especially when it comes to home and business electrification.

At our stand, you’ll be able to chat with our friendly team about:

  • EV charging station installations for homes and commercial properties
  • The role of solar energy and battery storage in reducing energy costs
  • Upgrading switchboards to support modern electrification needs
  • The growing importance of electrification in homes and businesses across the Sunshine Coast
  • Integrating air-conditioning, appliance upgrades, and lighting solutions into a more efficient electrical future

Whether you’re an EV owner looking to charge smarter at home, a business interested in reducing your carbon footprint, or simply curious about how electrification can improve your home, we’re here to help with practical, long-term advice.

We’re not just your average Sunshine Coast electrician. At Noosa Electric Co, we believe in doing things properly — offering quality electrical solutions that stand the test of time. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re proud of that. We take the time to make sure every job is done right, whether it’s a residential installation, solar upgrade, or commercial fit-out.

Come meet us at the Sunshine Beach EV Expo on June 21 and let’s talk about how we can help you electrify your future with confidence.

What is the right size battery for my home?

Every property is different, and the right battery depends on how and when you use electricity. However, recent research by the Smart Energy Council shows that most households need a smaller battery than they expect.

To avoid drawing power during the expensive evening peak:

  • Over 90% of households could manage with a 6–7kWh battery
  • Many popular battery systems on the market are around 13kWh, which is often more than required

A correctly sized battery can deliver excellent savings without unnecessary upfront cost.

If you’re unsure what size is right for your home or business, our experienced team can assess your usage and recommend a solution that makes sense for you.

How do I get the subsidy?

When you purchase your battery through Noosa Electric Co., the subsidy will be applied directly to your quote, so you’ll see the reduced price upfront. We handle the process for you, making it simple and hassle-free.

When can I get a subsidised battery?

Subsidised battery installations will commence from 1 July 2025.
To avoid delays and secure your place, we recommend registering your interest early.

What brand of batteries do you install?

We only install quality, proven battery brands that are:

  • Designed for Australian conditions
  • Reliable and safe
  • Compatible with your existing solar and electrical systems

The best battery depends on your energy goals, property layout and future plans (such as EV charging). Our team will talk you through the options and help you choose the most suitable brand and model.

NECO Insights: Common Air-Conditioner Installation Problems

When it comes to air-conditioner installation on the Sunshine Coast, a professional installation is crucial for long-term comfort and efficiency. At Noosa Electric Co, our experienced air-conditioner electricians have encountered and resolved a wide range of installation issues.

In this article, we’ll explore some of the problems that can arise with an AC installation, and how through our experience and processes, our team will help you to avoid them.

1. Incorrect Sizing of the Air-Conditioner

One of the most frequent issues is choosing an air-conditioner that is either too large or too small for the space. An oversized unit can cause short cycling, leading to inefficiency and increased wear and tear. Conversely, an undersized unit may struggle to cool the room effectively. As part of our process, we help you to determine the right type of air-conditioner for your space. This process is called air-conditioner design.

2. Poor Placement of the Indoor and Outdoor Units

Improper positioning of air-conditioner units can reduce their efficiency. The placement of both the indoor and outdoor units must be done in a way to optimise the configuration. For example, the indoor unit should be placed away from heat sources and in a location that allows for even air distribution. Similarly, the outdoor unit should have proper clearance and be positioned in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Our experienced team will help you to ensure optimal placement for maximum efficiency.

3. Faulty Electrical Connections

A safe and efficient air-conditioner installation requires proper electrical work. Faulty wiring or incorrect connections can lead to malfunctions, increased energy bills, or even safety hazards. Our certified air-conditioner electricians at Noosa Electric Co follow strict safety standards to ensure your system is properly connected. As licensed and qualified electricians, we will help you to ensure your installation will be safe & compliant.

4. Inadequate Insulation and Sealing

Poor insulation around the air-conditioner ducts or inadequate sealing can cause cool air to escape, reducing the system’s efficiency. This issue often leads to higher energy costs. Proper sealing and insulation during installation are key to maintaining efficiency. We use careful attention to detail on our installations to ensure all systems are correctly configured.

5. Improper Refrigerant Levels

Incorrect refrigerant charging during installation can affect the air-conditioner’s cooling ability and efficiency. Too much or too little refrigerant can strain the system, increasing energy consumption and the risk of breakdowns. Professional installation by the Noosa Electric Co electrical team ensures that refrigerant levels are correctly set.

6. Lack of Proper Drainage

Air-conditioners produce condensation that needs to drain properly. Faulty drainage systems can cause water leaks, leading to property damage or mold growth. Our team installs proper drainage to prevent such issues, paying attention to the outdoor environment to determine the most optimal solution depending on your AC installation.

7. Skipping Professional Installation Services

Attempting a DIY air-conditioner installation or hiring inexperienced technicians often results in costly problems down the line. Professional air-conditioner electricians have the skills and tools to handle the complexities of installation, ensuring everything is up to code.

Conclusion

At Noosa Electric Co, we understand the importance of proper air-conditioner installation on the Sunshine Coast. Our expert air-conditioner electricians are dedicated to delivering efficient, reliable, and professional installation services. By addressing these common installation issues upfront, you can enjoy a comfortable and energy-efficient indoor environment.
