Which areas does Macdonald Air & Electrical cover?+
We are based in Brendale and service all areas of Brisbane, with our strongest presence across Brisbane Northside, plus some coastal areas of QLD. If you are not sure whether your suburb is covered, contact us with your location and we will confirm before booking anything in.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. We are a team of licensed and insured electricians and members of Master Electricians Australia, and we hold a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (AU36212) for air conditioning work. Our team takes part in ongoing training, and we back our electrical work with a 100% workmanship guarantee.
What services do you offer?+
We work across three main areas: electrical, air conditioning and solar. That includes general electrical work and CCTV, split system, ducted and commercial air conditioning, and residential, repair and commercial solar. If you have a project that touches more than one of those, we can handle it as one team.
How do I get a quote?+
Contact us with details of what you need and we will arrange the right next step. Many jobs — particularly air conditioning and solar — begin with a site inspection so the quote reflects your actual property. We offer free quotes and take a friendly, non-salesy approach, so the quote is there to help you decide.
Do you do both residential and commercial work?+
Yes. We provide services for both residential and commercial customers, from a home split system or solar install through to commercial air conditioning for offices, warehouses and schools and commercial-scale solar. Our team includes electricians, solar-accredited installers and refrigeration mechanics.
What warranties do you offer?+
We are confident in our work and back it accordingly. Electrical work carries a 100% workmanship guarantee, solar installations carry a 10-year workmanship guarantee, and Australian-sold air conditioners come with a manufacturer warranty that we match with our own workmanship warranty. We are happy to explain the warranty that applies to your specific job.
