Frequently asked questions.

The questions people ask before booking — pricing, callouts, area, licensing, warranty, the lot. Can't find your question? Call (07) 3523 5868.

General

Where in Brisbane do you operate?

We're based in Paddington and we cover the inner-west, CBD, inner-north, and inner-south of Brisbane. The full suburb list runs across Bardon, Toowong, Ashgrove, The Gap, Auchenflower, Indooroopilly, Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Fig Tree Pocket, Spring Hill, New Farm, Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, Bulimba, Hawthorne, West End, South Brisbane and Highgate Hill. If you're outside that ring, call (07) 3523 5868 and we'll let you know what we can do.

What hours are you open?

Office hours are Monday to Saturday, roughly 7am to 5pm. Outside of that, the emergency line is on 24 hours a day, seven days — including weekends and public holidays. Emergencies attract a callout surcharge (we'll quote it before we leave) and we don't try to bait-and-switch you on the price once we're there.

Do I need a licensed electrician for this job?

In Queensland, anything that touches fixed wiring — switchboards, circuit additions, hardwired appliances, smoke alarms, downlights, ceiling fans, EV chargers — has to be done by a licensed electrician. Plug-in work (replacing a lamp in a fitting, a new appliance with a moulded plug) you can do yourself; the rest is licence-required. If you're unsure, ask us before you DIY.

Can you handle test-and-tag and compliance for rentals?

Yes. We run smoke alarm certifications, RCD testing and tag-and-test for landlords, agents and commercial sites on schedule. We can keep your compliance dates in our own system and book you back in before they lapse — no chasing required from your end.

How do quotes work?

For most residential and small commercial work, we'll give you a fixed-price quote in writing before we start — either over the phone if it's a known scope, or after a short site visit if there are unknowns (existing wiring condition, hidden access, switchboard capacity, etc.). The quote sits valid for 30 days and tells you exactly what is and isn't included.

What guarantees do you give on the work?

Workmanship is warranted for a minimum of 12 months. The gear we supply carries the manufacturer warranty (1 to 5 years depending on the brand and product). Anything we install gets a Certificate of Electrical Safety where Queensland regulations require one — keep that with your house papers, future agents and insurers will ask for it.
