⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Hiring unlicensed electricians for 'small jobs' — cheaper now, expensive when insurance refuses to pay after a fire
- •Skipping certificate of testing and compliance — required by QLD regulation, and required for property sale
- •Overloading an old switchboard — many pre-2000 homes need a board upgrade and safety switches (RCDs) before adding circuits; skipping it is a fire and compliance risk
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a licensed electrician for power-point installs?
QLD law (Electrical Safety Act 2002) classifies any work connected to fixed wiring as electrical work. Even adding a power point or replacing a light fitting requires a licensed electrician.
How much does it cost to install solar in SEQ?
Typical 6.6kW residential solar in SEQ runs $5,000-$8,000 fully installed (post-rebate). Battery storage adds $8,000-$15,000. CEC-accredited installers are required for STC rebate eligibility.
Do I need safety switches (RCDs)?
QLD requires RCDs on power and lighting circuits, and they must be tested. If your switchboard only has fuses or a single old safety switch, an electrician can bring it up to current standard — it's often the first thing they'll flag.
How fast can I get an emergency electrician?
Genuine emergencies — exposed wiring, a burning smell, total power loss — get same-day or after-hours response across SEQ, with after-hours rates. Non-urgent work is typically 2-5 days out.
