General Electrical FAQs

Questions about general electrical

Do you cover Bulimba and the wider Brisbane area for general electrical work?
Yes. Maritz Electrical is based in Bulimba and covers the surrounding Brisbane suburbs, through to Logan and the Gold Coast. General electrical work — lighting, power points, switchboards, smoke alarms and repairs — is handled across all of those areas. If you're unsure whether your address is covered, give Jan a call and he'll let you know straight away. Because you deal directly with the owner, you get a clear answer on travel and availability rather than being passed between a call centre and a roster of subcontractors.
How does pricing work for general electrical jobs?
Maritz Electrical works to set hourly rates, and there are no call-out fees within business hours for jobs within Brisbane central and the Gold Coast. For larger or defined jobs — a switchboard upgrade, a lighting project or rewiring — you'll get a clear quote before any work starts, so you know what you're committing to. The aim is honest, upfront pricing with no surprises. The simplest way to get an accurate figure is to describe the job over the phone or request a quote through the website.
Are you a licensed electrician?
Yes. Maritz Electrical is a licensed electrical contracting business and all work is carried out to Australian standards. Jan Maritz is a qualified electrical contractor with over a decade of hands-on experience in electrical and solar installations. Using a licensed electrician matters — it means the work is compliant, safe and properly certified, which protects your home, your insurance and anyone living there. You can ask about licensing at any time and it will be confirmed without hesitation.
Can you upgrade my switchboard or add safety switches?
Yes. Switchboard upgrades and safety switch (RCD) installation are a core part of the general electrical service. Older switchboards often lack the safety switches modern homes need, and may struggle with the load from air conditioning, induction cooking or an EV charger. Maritz Electrical can assess your existing board, explain what it needs and carry out the upgrade safely and to code. It's one of the most worthwhile electrical improvements you can make to an older home.
Do you install and check smoke alarms?
Yes. Smoke alarm supply, installation and compliance is part of the general electrical work Maritz Electrical handles. Queensland has specific smoke alarm requirements for homes, and getting them right keeps your household safe and your property compliant. Whether you need new interconnected alarms installed or existing alarms checked and updated, Jan can take care of it and explain what the current rules mean for your home.
How quickly can you come out for electrical work?
Maritz Electrical aims to respond quickly, and customers regularly mention fast response and clear communication. Availability depends on the week and the size of the job, but the best way to get a firm time is to call and describe what you need. For straightforward jobs a visit can often be arranged promptly; for larger projects you'll be booked in once the quote is agreed. Either way, you'll get honest communication about timing rather than being left guessing.
What should I do to get ready before the electrician arrives?
Usually very little. It helps to clear access to the areas being worked on — the switchboard, the room with the new light, or the wall for a new power point — and to let anyone at home know there may be a short power interruption. If you have photos of the existing setup or know the brand of a fitting you want matched, having those handy speeds things up. Jan will talk through anything specific when the job is booked.
