/ Common questions
Electrical — answers.
How quickly can you come out for electrical work?
For electrical jobs across Brisbane we typically schedule within one or two business days. If it's a genuine emergency — water flooding, no power on a circuit you need, a hot water system that's burst — call us first thing on 07 3366 2550 and we'll do our best to get someone out the same day. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
Do you handle both residential and commercial electrical work?
Yes. McGrath & Frisby has been doing both since 1954. On the residential side that's everything from a single tap repair, hot water replacement, switchboard upgrade, light fitting or oven install through to whole-home renovations and rewires. On the commercial side our team handles fit-outs, shop and office maintenance, body-corporate work, and major building projects. Our experienced crew of plumbers, drainers, electricians and gas fitters covers the lot.
How is electrical pricing structured?
For most electrical jobs we'll quote a fixed price after a quick call or a free on-site assessment. For urgent or after-hours work, a call-out rate applies, and we'll always tell you what that is before we start. We don't surprise customers with end-of-job add-ons — if scope changes, we stop and confirm with you first.
Are your electrical jobs covered by a warranty?
Yes. Workmanship is covered as part of our master-licensed cover. Any parts or fixtures we supply carry their manufacturer warranty (typically 12 months on smaller items and longer for hot water systems, motors and major switchgear). Compliance certificates are issued for any electrical work the law requires, so you have proof the job was signed off correctly.
Do I need to be home while the electrical work is being done?
Not always — it depends on the job. For straightforward repairs in accessible areas (the meter box, an external tap, the hot water system) we can often work without you being there if there's safe access. For interior work or anything that involves shutting off water or power, having someone home for the start of the job is best. We'll confirm what's needed when you book.
What's the next step if I want to book electrical work?
Send the form on this page with your suburb, what the job is, and a rough idea of when you'd like it done. Or call 07 3366 2550 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm). We'll either give you a price over the phone or arrange a free assessment on-site. Either way you'll hear back from a real person at McGrath & Frisby the same business day.
