What the job involves
Lighting and power covers most of the electrical things you see and touch around a house. Typical jobs include:
- Replacing old light fittings, or adding downlights, pendants and wall lights
- Installing ceiling fans indoors, or on a patio or alfresco ceiling
- Adding power points, or moving existing ones to where the furniture now sits
- Replacing worn or cracked switches and power points
- Adding dimmers and fan controllers
- Outdoor lights on walls, eaves and entries
- Weatherproof power points outside
Small jobs can be grouped. If you have a ceiling fan, two power points and a broken switch on your list, one visit is easier for everyone than three.
Planning it out
Before you ask for a quote, it helps to walk through the house and note what you want and where. A few things worth deciding early:
- Where the furniture, bed and TV will actually sit, so power points end up behind them and not behind the wardrobe
- Which lights you want on which switches, and where those switches go
- For a fan, whether you want a light built into it
- For outside, whether a light needs to be on a sensor or just a switch
If you have already bought the fittings, have the brand and model ready. We can tell you what we need to know about each one when we quote.
What you need to know
Electrical work in Queensland must be done by a licensed electrician, and DIY electrical work is illegal. That includes swapping a light fitting or a power point, even if the old one looks simple to take off.
We don't install air-conditioning. Smart lighting and home automation are fine, though: Jamie used to build his business around it, so ask if you want more than a dimmer. Ordinary lights, fans, switches and power points are exactly the sort of work P4 is set up for.
What you get
- 12 months workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on products
