Wanting to give a fresh new look to your bathroom? Aside from choosing the perfect tiles, tapware, and color palette, one element that you need to consider which is also equally essential is your bathroom’s electrical setup.




At Axon Electrical, we believe that smart electrical upgrades are a crucial part that will perfectly complete every bathroom renovation. For a functional, stylish, and future-ready bathroom, the five essential electrical upgrades to consider for your bathroom renovation are:


1. LED Lighting 

To achieve that right ambience, the bathroom’s lighting should be carefully considered. It should be adaptable in doing any tasks whether applying makeup or winding down in a warm bath.


Upgrade Tip:

  • Install dimmable LED downlights to set ambiance

  • Add task lighting in the vicinity of the mirrors

  • Use a warm white LEDs to create a relaxing vibe


We install energy-efficient, waterproof-rated fittings suited for humid bathroom environments


2. Exact and Sufficient Power Points 

Using electric toothbrushes, hairdryers, and razors nowadays makes a single power point not enough in your bathroom.


Upgrade Tip:

  • Have dual outlets (GPOs) installed near vanities

  • Integrate a USB-integrated power points for smart devices

  • Let RCD-protected electrical outlets be installed by a licensed electrician


⚠️ Remember to comply with QLD electrical safety standards regarding power points in wet areas 


3. Exhaust Fan for Good Ventilation

Consider a quality exhaust fan that gets rid of the steam and odors as it also extends the life of your bathroom painting and fittings.


Upgrade Tip:

  • Install a quiet model of exhaust fan with a humidity sensor or timer

  • Choose a ceiling or wall-mounted fans that will suit your design


💡 It would be better to complement your exhaust fan with lighting for a sophisticated and practical bathroom


4. Heated Towel Rails 

Having heated towel rails is not just a winter luxury.  It serves to keep your towels dry and the bathroom to stay fresh and clean.


Upgrade Tip:

  • For enhanced aesthetics and safety, choose fixtures that are directly wired into the electrical system

  • Install a timer switch to conserve power and maintain your routine


🛠️ We provide timer or switch installation on walls or integrate them into smart home systems


5. Smart Switches Installation

Automate your bathroom by having control lights, fans, and even towel warmers function with your phone or voice assistant. Having smart switches installed in your bathroom is a futuristic upgrade that will make your life easier.


Upgrade Tip:

  • For hands-free lighting, include motion sensors

  • To manage fans or heated rails, choose app-controlled timers 


🌟 We recommend especially for your busy days or modern bathroom upgrades
