Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a licensed electrician?

In Queensland, any work involving installation, alteration, or repair of electrical wiring or fixed equipment must be done by a licensed electrical contractor. This includes adding power points, changing light fittings, installing ceiling fans, and upgrading switchboards. DIY electrical work is illegal and can void your home insurance.

Are you available for emergency electrical work?

Yes — EJA Electrical & Air is available 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. If you have a safety risk — sparking outlets, burning smell, tripped safety switch that won't reset — call us immediately on 0426 826 717.

Do you provide written quotes before starting work?

Yes. We provide a clear, fixed-price quote before starting any job. There are no surprise charges or hidden call-out fees.

What is a Certificate of Compliance (Form 9)?

A Certificate of Compliance (Form 9) is signed by the responsible person on our electrical contractor licence confirming work was completed safely and to the Australian standard. It's required for any notifiable electrical work and essential for insurance claims, building approvals, and property sales.

What areas of Brisbane do you service?

We're based in Wynnum and service all of Brisbane's Bayside including Manly, Hawthorne, Carina, Norman Park, and surrounding suburbs. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes. All electrical work is warranted to be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. Specific product warranties vary by manufacturer — we'll advise on any applicable warranty.

What licences does EJA Electrical & Air hold?

Trent Beauchamp holds an Electrical Contractors Licence (1504433), an ARC Refrigeration Licence (L200737), and is a Bronze Master Electrician. EJA Electrical & Air holds ABN 61 683 713 340 and maintains appropriate insurance.

Can you install both electrical and air conditioning in one visit?

Yes — because Trent holds both an electrical contractor licence and an ARC refrigeration licence, he handles the complete air conditioning installation in one visit: electrical connection, refrigerant lines, and commissioning.

What should I do if my power goes out?

Check your switchboard — a tripped circuit breaker will be in the off or middle position. Reset it by switching fully off then back on. If the main switch won't reset or multiple circuits are affected, call us on 0426 826 717. Do not attempt to handle wiring yourself.

How do I prepare my home for an electrician?

Clear a path to your switchboard and the work area. Know the location of your main switchboard. For major works, we'll advise on preparation when booking.
