Queensland law on who can do electrical work, and what has to be in place first.
Repairs Are Electrical Work
Replacing a light switch or installing a power point is electrical work in Queensland. Doing it yourself is unlicensed work, and it's illegal.

A Safety Switch Comes First
An electrician can't do installation work in your home unless the power points have a safety switch, or the job includes fitting one. Urgent emergency and safety work is an exception.

How It Works

Tell us what's stopped working. Lists welcome.

Often done on the same visit.
- Test
Repairs tested before we leave.
- Pay on Completion
EFTPOS on site when you're happy.

What Sets the Price of an Electrical Repair
We price repairs on site, once we know what's wrong. These are the main things that change the figure.
- The fault. A loose wire is quicker to fix than a burnt-out circuit.
- Parts. A standard power point or a feature light fitting.
- Access. Tight roof space, high ceilings and two-storey homes.
- Number of jobs. Several repairs done in one visit, not several trips.
- Safety switch. No safety switch on the power points may mean fitting one first.
- Time of day. Emergency call-outs and booked visits are both quoted on site.

Electrical Repairs FAQ
Questions Gold Coast homeowners ask us about everyday electrical repairs.
How much does an electrical repair cost on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the fault, so we don't quote before we've seen it. The main factors are what caused the problem, the parts needed, how easy the wiring is to reach, and how many jobs you want done in the visit. We find the cause first, then give you one fixed price before any work starts. You pay on completion by EFTPOS.
Do you do small electrical jobs?
Yes. A single dead power point, a light that won't turn on or a switch that does nothing is worth fixing properly, and we'll book it in. If you have a few small jobs, list them when you call and we'll quote them together so they can be done in one visit. Repairs are tested before we leave and covered by our lifetime workmanship warranty.
Can I replace a power point or light switch myself?
No. In Queensland, replacing a light switch or installing a power point is electrical work, and only a licensed electrician can do it. The Electrical Safety Office treats DIY electrical work as unlicensed work, which is illegal and carries heavy fines. You can reset a tripped breaker, press a safety switch test button or switch off at the switchboard. Anything beyond that needs an electrician.
Why has one power point stopped working?
Common causes are a tripped safety switch or breaker, a loose connection or a failed outlet. Check the switchboard and reset anything that's tripped, once. If it trips again, or the power point looks scorched, feels warm or smells of burning, stop using it and call us. We test the circuit to find the fault, which isn't always at the outlet itself.
Why do my lights flicker?
A loose connection, a failing globe or driver, a dimmer that doesn't suit the globe, or a heavy appliance starting up can all cause flicker. One flickering light is usually a problem with that fitting. If lights flicker across the house, or you notice buzzing or a burning smell, the cause may be in the switchboard or supply. Have it checked by a licensed electrician soon.
Do you need to fit a safety switch before doing repairs?
Sometimes. Under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, a licensed electrician can't do installation work in a home unless the power point circuits have a safety switch, or the job includes fitting one. There are exceptions, including emergency and safety work. If your home has no safety switch, we tell you before we quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you fix a ceiling fan or rangehood?
Yes. We repair noisy and dead ceiling fans and diagnose rangehoods that have stopped working, including hardwired units. Sometimes the fault is in the switch or wiring rather than the appliance. If the fan or rangehood itself has failed and a repair isn't worth it, we tell you and quote a replacement instead. Every job gets a fixed price before work starts.
Do you guarantee your electrical repairs?
Yes. Our workmanship carries a lifetime warranty, so if our work fails, we come back and fix it. Parts and appliances are covered by their manufacturer's warranty where one applies. Repairs are tested before we leave. We hold Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 1511406, we're fully insured, and you can check our licence on the Electrical Safety Office licence search.
