High-quality electrical service, delivered with care.
Licensed Electricians for Roxby Downs and Far North SA
Most electrical jobs don’t go wrong at the switchboard. They go wrong at the end, when something still needs fixing and the calls stop being returned.
We answer the phone and stay on the job until it’s signed off. Arctrix Electrical is a locally owned, licensed electrical contractor based in Roxby Downs and working right across Far North South Australia. From your first call to the signed-off ECOC, we stay accountable for the work, so the job is finished when the paperwork is in your hands, not when the van leaves the driveway.

Why Choose Arctrix Electrical
First Call to Signed-Off ECOC
You hear back when we say you will, you know what’s happening at each stage, and the certificate of compliance comes through once the work is signed off.
Real Locals
We’re based in Roxby Downs, with family from Pimba just up the road. The town is home, and we’re building the business here for the long term.
Licensed and Insured
Registered electrical contractor PGE351619 and licensed electrician PGE293108, with public liability and professional indemnity insurance held, so the work is covered from start to sign-off.
Phone Answered 24/7
The phone gets answered outside business hours, so you’re not leaving a message and waiting until Monday to find out where you stand.
Switchboard Upgrades
Old boards brought up to standard, including the ones filling with green goo as the original cable through much of Roxby breaks down.
Rewires
Full and partial rewires where the existing cable has gone hard and started cracking, replacing it before the insulation gives out.
Powerpoint Installation
New outlets added where you actually need them, in homes, sheds and workspaces, on circuits that can carry what you’re plugging in.
Lighting Installation
Interior and exterior lighting installed and replaced, from downlights and ceiling fans to outdoor lights around the home, shed and yard.
Fault Finding and Repairs
Tracking down what’s tripping the circuit, what’s flickering and what has stopped working, then fixing the cause rather than the symptom.
EV Charger Installation
Home chargers installed to the current rules, with the switchboard checked first to confirm it can carry the load.
Meet Joel
Joel Longmire is the licensed electrician behind Arctrix Electrical. He grew up in Roxby Downs, his family is from Pimba just up the road, and after some years in the Adelaide Hills he came back to build the business here.
He worked as an electrician for a contractor in town before taking Arctrix on full time. The approach is simple: do what we say we’ll do, keep you in the loop, and take responsibility when something needs putting right.
Industries We Service
Residential
Homeowners, real estate agents and property managers across Roxby Downs, Andamooka and Olympic Dam, including smoke alarm and RCD testing for rental properties.
Commercial and Maintenance
Businesses, council and long-term maintenance clients. RCD testing, test and tag, thermal imaging, emergency and security lighting, and evaporative air conditioning.
Rural and Remote
Stations and remote properties across Far North South Australia. System and switchboard upgrades, renovations, and repairs to hoists, pumps and three-phase motors.
Station and Remote Work
Remote properties have the same electrical problems as anywhere else and far fewer people willing to drive out and fix them. A station can go years without a tradesperson, then pay a significant amount just to get one through the gate.
We make the trip. We’ve worked at Cowarie and Wilgena stations and at Kalamurina Wildlife Sanctuary, with Cowarie around 600km up the Birdsville Track. Distances like that get planned for rather than avoided.
How It Works
Get in Touch
Call or send the form with what needs doing and where the property is. Photos help with fault finding and anything already installed.
Quote and Scope
We look over the job, scope it, and give you the price and what’s included before anything is booked in.
The Work
We carry out the work and leave the site tidy. If anything changes along the way, we raise it with you before going ahead.
Signed Off and ECOC Sent
Once the work is tested and signed off, we send through your electrical certificate of compliance so the paperwork is on file.

Tell us what needs doing and where. Roxby Downs, Andamooka, Olympic Dam or a property hours out of town, the phone gets answered.
What is an ECOC and why does it matter?
An ECOC is an electrical certificate of compliance. It confirms the work was carried out by a licensed electrician and meets the required standards. In South Australia one should be issued for completed electrical work, and it’s the record you’ll be asked for when you sell, insure or rent out the property.
How much does an electrician cost in Roxby Downs?
Electrical work is priced per job rather than at a flat rate. Factors affecting the cost include the scope of the work, whether the existing wiring or switchboard needs addressing first, the materials involved, the access at the property, and the travel distance where the site is out of town.
Do you service evaporative air conditioners?
Yes. We service and install evaporative air conditioning for homes and businesses across Roxby Downs, where it’s the most common cooling system in town. Booking a service before summer means it’s running properly when the heat arrives.
