Domestic Electrician Gold Coast

Inspection Reports

This is very important to do before buying a property. It will ensure you don't get confronted with any unexpected electrical costs after purchasing your new property. An electrical test & inspection is also a great thing to do if you are unsure of the electrical system in your home, after receiving your comprehensive report you will know exactly where your property stands in regards to electrical safety and you will be able to sleep easy at night.

Insurance Reports

With the number of electrical storms on the Gold Coast we have been to hundreds of homes that were affected by a lightning strike in the area. We can come to your home and do tests to prove what has caused your appliances and electrical system to fail, after testing we can provide a report that you can give to your home insurance company and then you may be covered.

Fault Finding

If any of your electrical system is not working as it should give us a call and we can sort it out for you. Whether it is a safety switch turning off all the time, an old fuse blowing or a power point not working we can help.

LED Lighting

If you do not have LED lighting in your home, it is worth a look. We have relationships with major lighting manufacturers, which means you will get quality LED lighting with solid warranties at a fair price. Vision Electrical have specialised in LED lighting for many years now. LED lighting is much much more efficient than any other powered light source and it also lasts much longer with minimum heat output to keep your home as safe as possible. LED lights will save you a lot of money on your power bill, and in turn, they can pay for themselves very quickly. Contact us to request a free quote or find out any more info.

Lighting Control

Would you like to automate the lighting in your home? It is easier than you think. We can provide multiple solutions to control your lighting, from sensors that turn lights on automatically to smart phone applications that control them from anywhere. There is more on our home automation page.

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are an efficient way to keep your home cool. We offer a large range of ceiling fans at fair prices to suit any area in your home. On a hot day your ceiling fan can bring a nice breeze to your room making it feel up to 8 degrees cooler. A ceiling fan in a patio area also helps keep flying insects away.

Smoke Alarms (QLD Compliance)

Queensland smoke alarm laws apply to all homes, including new builds, substantially renovated properties, rentals, and existing dwellings. The legislation is designed to improve early warning and save lives, and compliance is mandatory. Under the current requirements, smoke alarms must be:

• Photoelectric type only
• Powered either by mains electricity or a non-removable 10-year battery. If an existing hardwired alarm is replaced, its replacement must also be hardwired
• Interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the home, either wired or wireless
• Installed in each bedroom
• Installed in hallways serving bedrooms
• Installed in the exit path of every storey, even if it does not contain bedrooms

At Vision Electrical, safety comes first, no shortcuts. We assess your home, identify any compliance gaps, and upgrade your smoke alarms to meet current Queensland standards. That means proper placement, correct interconnection, and clean professional installation.

If you’re unsure whether your home is compliant, or you want peace of mind knowing your family is properly protected, get in touch and we’ll sort it.

Safety Switches

Safety switches are specifically made to save lives. It is essential you have safety switches installed on your circuits, you should also know where your safety switch is and how to test it. If you don't have them or don't know how to use an RCD please contact us so we can help your house become as safe as possible.

Why they matter: Electrical accidents in Australian homes kill and seriously injure people every year, and many of those accidents happen on circuits with no safety switch fitted. Safety switches, also known as residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) or residual current devices (RCDs), have been in common use in Australia for over 20 years. Safety switches are different to overload circuit breakers and surge protectors. A safety switch will detect a current leaking to earth and will trip the circuit within as little as 30 milliseconds, and no more than 300 milliseconds. This stops the flow of electricity through the body of the person in contact with the circuit, in less than the length of a critical heartbeat.

Switchboard Upgrades

We see way too many old switchboards on the Gold Coast still with old style fuse, asbestos panels, incorrect labelling, poor earth stakes, the list goes on. This can mean big trouble to you and your home, put simply if your switchboard is old it could be very unsafe causing fire or electric shock. At Vision Electrical we love replacing switchboards because it gives us peace of mind that you, your family and home will be safe and protected.

Send us a photo of your switchboard and we can give you a free quote to bring it up to the current Australian Standard. That might be a small job, such as replacing old fuses with RCBOs (safety switches with inbuilt overload protection), or a larger one that includes a new enclosure and all new circuit protection. Boards and meter panels built before 2004 may contain asbestos backing panels, and it cannot be identified reliably by eye. Our electricians are trained to remove and dispose of small non-friable asbestos panels lawfully, and anything friable or beyond that scope is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist. There is more detail on our switchboard upgrades page.

New Power Points

A lot of homes simply do not have enough power points, in today’s electronic age we need more power outlets. We can use our electrical skills to install a new power point anywhere to make your life more convenient.

Replacing old power points is one of the simplest ways to freshen up your home and bring more value to it.

USB Outlets

As more and more of our devices become portable, USB charging becomes more important. There is nothing worse than going to plug in a 240V appliance only to find a USB charger taking up the last 240V outlet. The answer to this problem is a double power point with inbuilt double USB charger. We can also make custom USB charging outlets that can have up to 12 USB outlets per point.

Appliance Installation

Replacing your appliances is another great way to bring more value to your home or make your life easier while in the kitchen.
