What we find in Surfers Paradise homes
Four things worth checking at your place. Sources for every claim sit underneath it.
Eight in ten homes are apartments, so check who owns the fault
81.2% of Surfers Paradise homes are flats or apartments. In a unit, the board and circuits inside your lot are generally yours, while the riser, meter room, corridor and carpark lighting usually belong to the body corporate. Before you book anyone, check whether the fault shows up next door or in the common areas. If it does, call your building manager first.

Some towers here are more than 60 years old
The Gold Coast’s first high-rise, the ten-storey Kinkabool, went up in Surfers Paradise in 1959 to 1960, and building booms followed in the 1960s and 1980s. So a unit here could have wiring from almost any decade. If yours is in an older block, open your unit’s switchboard and look. No button marked Test usually means there’s no safety switch, and it’s worth getting checked.

In a tower, access is part of the job
Nine of the Gold Coast’s fifteen tallest buildings are in Surfers Paradise, including Q1 at 322.5 metres. In a tall building, electrical work often needs the building manager’s approval, a lift booking and access to locked risers or meter rooms. Talk to your building manager before booking the work, so the electrician can actually get to what needs fixing on the day.

When most people live alone, the alarm has to reach the bedroom
More than half of Surfers Paradise homes are rented, and 39.9% of households are one person living alone. In a one-person apartment, an alarm in the hallway may not wake you behind a closed door. Interconnected alarms mean that when one goes off, they all do, including the one by your bed. Press the test button on one, and check the others sound.

Meet the electrician
Byron Knight has spent 20+ years wiring things up in more places than most people could point to on a map: FIFO mining camps, private jets, job sites across New Zealand, and now switchboards right across the Gold Coast. QLD Electrical Contractor Licence 1511406, and all of it still comes back to the same basic job: making sure your power works and your house doesn’t catch fire.
When he’s not under a house or up on a roof, he’s usually chasing a wave or three coffees deep before most people are out of bed, which might explain why he answers the phone early. Either way, you’re talking to a licensed electrician on our team, not someone reading off a script.
“Do it once, do it right” isn’t just a tagline. I’m not interested in being back at your place in six months for the same problem.– Byron
Nothing extra turns up on the invoice once the job’s started. Every job comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty instead of the usual 12 months, and he’s available around the clock for genuine emergencies across Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast.
