Electrician Brisbane
We're seasoned electricians servicing Brisbane and nearby areas. Our services encompass all home electrical needs: rewiring, powerpoint and light installations, switchboard upgrades, air conditioner power upgrades, and general maintenance.
With over 30 years of experience and our lifetime workmanship guarantee, you can rest assured that our team of skilled and qualified electricians will complete your electrical work to the highest standards.
Our residential and commercial electrical services include:
Switchboard Repairs and Upgrades
As appliances advance, older switchboards struggle to handle new loads, tripping more and risking fire. Upgrade to modern switchboards for lower fire risk, no overloads, reduced electrical shock, fewer tripped breakers, and blown fuses. We also repair existing switchboards for safe electricity at home.
Power Point Installations
We can quickly install new powerpoints and switches throughout your home or rental property, in your preferred positions. This includes regular on/off switches, dimmers, single, double, or triple units, and lightswitch covers that fit with your home.
General Maintenance and Repairs
We complete common repairs for rental properties across Brisbane, including tasks like safety switch and circuit breaker issues, blown fuses, assessing outdated switchboards, checking relays, cable assemblies, grounding conductors, and electrical monitoring systems to ensure they are working as expected.
Fix Safety Switches / Circuit Breakers
Safety switches can trip for a number of reasons. If this is happening frequently in a home, we’ll diagnose the problem safely and carry out the appropriate fix. This can take time and patience, but we have the tools and the expertise to do it safely and efficiently.
Light upgrades
If you live in an older home with incandescent light fixtures, the bulbs can give off a tremendous amount of heat, which is wasted electricity that increases your power bill. We can upgrade the entire property to use modern LED lighting, which can improve your energy efficiency by about 85% and can last about 25 times longer.
TV antenna points
Want to install a new TV point in one of your rooms? We’ve got you covered. We’ll install the antenna point and connect it to your roof’s aerial, so that you can receive the analog and digital signals for Australia’s TV channels in high definition.
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric hot water systems can have electrical failures just like any other system, especially if they are older. They are usually an urgent problem to fix, and we can diagnose any electrical problems that the heater might have, and quickly get it working again.
Electrical Safety Checks
We can complete comprehensive electrical safety checks for your home, rental property, or business. We’ll check for any damage, deterioration, and defects in your property’s electrical system, to ensure that everything is working smoothly.
TV antenna points
Modern air conditioners may require switchboard upgrades in your home, and we can complete this work for you. We are also licensed air conditioning installers, so we can complete the job end-to-end. Check out our ducted or split system air conditioning pages for more information.
Renovations and New Builds
Whether you conducting a small or major renovation, you will most likely need a new electrical plan, with power points, lighting and other components needing to be wired and installed. Our team of qualified electricians can work off your specific electrical plans to ensure a seamless finish to your renovations. We also specialise in electrical installations for new builds, ensuring integration throughout the property or individual rooms.
Solar Installs and Repairs
As CEC (Clean Energy Council) accredited solar installers, we can complete any electrical components of your new installation, or fix any issues you might be having with the inverter or the panels themselves. We’ll quickly troubleshoot and diagnose the issue before completing the necessary fixes, to get your solar system working again.

This ensures that we are operating legally and to a high standard of safety and quality.

Do you do outdoor electrical work?
Our Brisbane electricians will happily attend to your outdoor electrical needs and we are well equipped to install patio lighting and garden lighting, or provide electrical maintenance.
Can I complete small electrical jobs myself?
Electrical work is incredibly dangerous, which is why it’s illegal in Queensland to complete this type of work without a license. Even if you know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t complete electrical work without the proper qualifications and licenses.
When should I have an electrical safety check?
It’s a good idea to get an electrical safety check for a property that you’re purchasing, especially if it has been previously lived in, or over 25 years old.
Queensland electrical licenses
In Queensland, domestic electricians will typically hold two types of licenses: an ‘Electrical Fitter License’ for working with switchboards and repairing electrical equipment, and an ‘Electrical Contractor License’ for jointing and terminating high voltage cable.
When to hire an electrician
If you have an electrical job that needs to be done in your home or office aside from changing a lightbulb or fuse, you need to hire an electrician. Harnessing electricity has been one of the most important technological advances for our species, but its lethal power means that only qualified electricians can work with it. An electrician will be able to complete the work safely, and ensure that your electrical components won’t burst into flame.
How to choose an electrician
The most important thing to check for an electrician is their qualifications. In Australia, most electricians complete a Cert II in Electrotechnology, which includes a four-year apprenticeship. They also need to hold the correct licenses for their state.
