Townlec Auto Electrical
Residential

Mount Louisa. Family cars, touring rigs, boats.

Mount Louisa is established residential — family vehicles, the 4WD that tows the van at Easter, and the boat sitting in the driveway most of the year. The work is less about fleet downtime and more about gear that has to be reliable when you finally use it.

Why Mount Louisa is different

The work round here.

Batteries that survive the heat

Townsville heat is what kills batteries here, not age. We test before we sell, fit in store, and size for the actual vehicle rather than whatever fits the tray.

Touring and caravan wiring

Dual battery systems, DC-DC charging, brake controllers, 7 and 12-pin trailer plugs, fridge and solar wiring. Set up once, properly, so it works when you are three hours past the last town.

Air conditioning before December

Regas, leak detection and compressor work. Worth booking before wet season rather than during it, when everyone else has had the same idea.

Worth knowing

On-site or in the workshop?

Some jobs are better done where the vehicle is, and some are better brought to us. Gear that cannot move, fleet work and bigger jobs are the ones that suit a visit; a single small job — a battery, a globe, one connector — is usually sorted faster at the workshop. Ring us with what you have got and we will tell you honestly which way works out better.

On the ground

Mount Louisa in our words.

A lot of Mount Louisa work is seasonal and predictable — battery replacement in Mount Louisa through the hot months, air conditioning just before the wet, and touring setups in the run-up to the dry. Booking ahead of those peaks is worth doing.

FAQ

Mount Louisa questions.

Can you set up dual batteries for a caravan?+
Yes — sizing the bank, DC-DC charging, solar input, fusing and monitoring. Done once properly so it works when you are a long way from help, rather than the cheapest kit that fits.
Do you fit brake controllers?+
Yes, and we test them loaded before you leave. A controller set up on an empty van behaves very differently to one towing weight.
How do I know if my battery is on the way out?+
Slow cranking, a dash flicker on start, or needing a jump after sitting a few days. Bring it in for a test — it takes minutes, and a failing alternator will kill a brand new battery just as fast.
