FAQs
What types of routine electrical maintenance services do you offer in McDonald?
We provide comprehensive maintenance for residential, commercial, and light-industrial properties. Services include scheduled inspection of switchboards and circuit breakers, testing and tagging of appliances, thermal imaging to detect hot spots, emergency and exit-light testing, RCD/safety-switch verification, lighting maintenance (including LED upgrades), and general wiring integrity checks.
How often should I schedule electrical maintenance for my property?
For most homes and small businesses in McDonald, we recommend a full electrical inspection every 12 months. High-use facilities—such as restaurants, medical clinics, or workshops—benefit from quarterly inspections. Critical safety devices like RCDs and emergency lighting should be tested every six months under AS/NZS 3760 guidelines.
Will routine maintenance disrupt my daily operations or require a power shutdown?
We aim to minimise downtime by coordinating visits around your operating hours. Many tests, such as visual inspections and thermal imaging, can be done while circuits remain live. If a shutdown is required—for example, to tighten bus-bar connections—we’ll schedule it after hours or in staged intervals so you can keep trading.
What are the signs that my electrical system needs maintenance sooner than scheduled?
Frequent tripping breakers, flickering lights, buzzing outlets, burning smells, warm switch plates, or higher-than-normal energy bills all indicate issues that should be checked immediately. If you notice any of these warning signs, call us for an urgent assessment rather than waiting for your next routine visit.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in McDonald?
Yes. All technicians hold current Queensland Electrical Worker Licences, carry $20 million public liability insurance, and maintain updated CPR/LVR (Low Voltage Rescue) certifications. We also comply with relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3760) and local McDonald Council regulations.
How much does a routine maintenance visit cost, and do you offer service plans?
A standard annual maintenance visit for a typical three-bedroom home starts at $220 inc. GST. Commercial packages begin at $350, depending on the number of circuits and safety devices. We offer discounted service plans that bundle quarterly checks, priority call-outs, and free minor repairs, saving up to 25% compared with ad-hoc bookings.
