Residential Electrician FAQ
Common questions from Gold Coast homeowners.
What residential electrical work do you do?
We handle switchboards, safety switches, lighting, outdoor and security lights, power points and switches, ceiling fans, smoke alarms, EV chargers, ovens and cooktops, hot water electrical faults, thermal imaging of switchboards and general electrical repairs. We also take emergency call-outs 24/7. Renovation and new-build wiring isn't our focus, but we do help existing customers with it.
How does your pricing work?
We inspect the job first, then give you one fixed price before any work starts. There's no hourly rate, so the price doesn't grow if a job takes longer than expected. You pay on completion by EFTPOS on site. On jobs with more than $5,000 in materials that run over several days, we may ask for a deposit.
How quickly can you come out?
We're based in Palm Beach and a same-day visit is often possible, though not guaranteed. For planned work we book a time that suits you. For emergencies such as sparking, burning smells or loss of power, we take calls 24/7 and give you an estimated arrival time on the phone. If anyone is hurt or there's a fire, call 000 first.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 1511406 and are fully insured. Our team brings more than 20 years of residential, commercial and industrial experience. You can check any electrician's licence on the Electrical Safety Office's online licence search before you book, and we're happy for you to check ours.
Do I need a safety switch in my home?
For many homes, yes. Under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, a new owner has 90 days from taking possession to have a safety switch fitted to the general power points, and with limited exceptions an electrician can't do installation work in a home without one unless the job includes fitting it. We also recommend protecting lighting circuits.
Do I need to upgrade my smoke alarms?
If your home doesn't have them yet, probably. By 1 January 2027, all Queensland homes need interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms that meet AS 3786:2014, in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms and on each level. Homes being sold or leased already need them. Hardwired alarms need a licensed electrician to replace and connect them.
Can I do my own electrical work?
No. In Queensland, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. The Electrical Safety Office lists installing a new power point, replacing a light switch, replacing a batten holder with a new light fitting and replacing a light fitting with a ceiling fan as electrical work. DIY electrical work is illegal, and if an electrical fire results from it, your insurer may refuse the claim.
What warranty do you give?
Our workmanship is covered by a lifetime warranty. If something we installed fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it. Parts and appliances are covered by their manufacturer's warranty where one applies. Keep your invoice, and if anything we did isn't right, call us on 0421 333 034 and we'll come back and look at it.
