Can I plug in my new oven myself?

No. Fixed appliances like ovens and cooktops must be connected by a licensed electrician in Queensland. This is both a legal requirement and a condition of most home insurance policies.

Do you connect gas appliances?

No. We are an electrical contractor. Gas appliance connections require a licensed gas fitter.

What if the existing circuit isn't rated correctly for my new appliance?

We check this before we start. If a new or upgraded circuit is needed, we include that in the quote so there are no surprises.

Can you co-ordinate with my kitchen installer?

Yes. We regularly work alongside kitchen installers and builders and are happy to co-ordinate timing so the electrical is done at the right stage.

Do you install hot water systems?

Yes. Electric storage hot water systems and heat pump hot water systems are within our scope. Call us to discuss your requirements.

Connected properly. Working first time.

We make sure the circuit is the right size for the appliance, the connections are made safely and everything is tested before we leave.

Hot water system installation — Electric storage and heat pump hot water systems installed with the correct circuit size, timer and ripple control connection where applicable.
