What Sets the Price of a Commercial Emergency Repair
We can't price a fault we haven't found. Once we've tested it, you get a fixed price before the repair starts.
- Testing needed. How long it takes to trace the fault.
- The cause. A tripped circuit is quicker to fix than burnt wiring.
- Parts. A breaker, an outlet or a switchboard repair.
- Damage found. Heat or water damage can spread past the first fault.
- Access. Ceiling space, risers and after-hours building access.

Commercial Emergency Electrician FAQ
Questions Gold Coast business owners and building managers ask us when something goes wrong.
Do you have a 24/7 commercial emergency electrician on the Gold Coast?
Yes. We take emergency call-outs 24 hours a day for shops, offices, kitchens and strata buildings, including nights, weekends and public holidays. We're based in Palm Beach and cover the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads, so same-day help is often possible. Tell us what's happening and we'll give you an estimated arrival time. If anyone is hurt or there's a fire, call 000 first.
When should a business call an emergency electrician?
Call straight away for smoke, burning smells, heat or buzzing at a switchboard, water on electrics, or a fault inside your premises that has stopped trade. A tripped circuit that won't reset on refrigeration, security or other critical equipment is also urgent. If one light or power point is out and trade isn't affected, book a standard visit instead.
Should I call Energex or an electrician when my business loses power?
Check with neighbouring businesses first. If the whole street is out, it's a network outage: report it to Energex on 13 62 62 or check their Outage Finder. If only your premises has lost power, the fault is likely on your side of the supply, in the switchboard, main supply or a circuit. That needs a licensed electrical contractor, so call us.
What should staff do if someone gets an electric shock at work?
Don't touch the person. The Electrical Safety Office says to switch off the power, or separate them using something non-conductive, then call 000 and start CPR if they aren't breathing. Get medical advice even if they feel fine. If it's a notifiable incident, the business must notify WorkSafe Queensland immediately on 1300 362 128 and leave the incident area undisturbed.
How long can food stay in a fridge that has lost power?
Food Standards Australia New Zealand's 2-hour/4-hour rule counts the total time potentially hazardous food spends between 5°C and 60°C, including storage and display. Once that total passes 4 hours, the food can't be sold and must be thrown away. Keep fridge and cool room doors shut, note when the power went off, and call us if the circuit won't reset.
How much does a commercial emergency electrician cost?
It depends on the fault: what caused it, what parts are needed, how much damage it has done and how easy the site is to access. We don't guess over the phone. Our electrician inspects first and gives you one fixed price before any repair starts, so you know the cost before you agree to it. You pay on completion by EFTPOS.
Can you keep the rest of my business running?
Often, yes. Once the site is safe, we isolate the faulty circuit or equipment and test whether the rest can be safely switched back on. Whether that's possible depends on what caused the fault and what it has damaged, so we won't promise it before we've tested. Then we quote a fixed price for the repair.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial emergency work?
Yes. We hold Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 1511406 and are fully insured. You can check any electrical contractor's licence on the Electrical Safety Office licence search before they start. Our emergency repairs carry the same lifetime workmanship warranty as any other job, and repairs are tested before we leave. If our workmanship fails, we come back and fix it.
