Why I'm doing this
I've spent 15+ years as an electrical contractor, and Cairns storm season is no joke — one strike can take out a whole house of appliances before anyone even knew they were at risk. My mission's simple: get every home around here properly protected before that happens to them too.

Quick questions
Is it really a fixed price?
Yes — take the 30-second quiz above and you'll get your exact fixed price (single-phase or three-phase) before you commit to anything. Fully fitted and certified, confirmed again on the day.
How long does it take?
Usually under an hour. It's fitted directly into your switchboard — no rewiring, no mess, no disruption to your home.
Do I still need power boards with surge protection?
They don't hurt, but they're not enough on their own — a plug-in board only protects what's plugged into it. The unit at your switchboard protects everything in the house at once, which is where the real protection happens.
Don't wait for the next storm.
Three things I put in writing
Every quote you get from an electrician looks the same from the outside. Here's what's different about this one — and none of it depends on anyone but me.
The Fixed Price Promise
One fixed price for the work that needs doing.
I check the job properly before quoting, so the price covers everything it needs — no surprises on the day. If I find extra work once I'm there, I'll tell you and price it separately before doing it. You're never billed for something you didn't agree to first.
The On-Time Promise
Inside the booked window, or $50 off the job.
You get a booked window, not a vague day. If I'm not there inside it, I take $50 off the job. No excuses and nothing for you to chase.
Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
If it fails because of how I fitted it, I fix it free.
Every install is backed for as long as you own the place. If something I fitted fails because of the workmanship — not a storm event, not a manufacturer fault — I come back and make it right at no charge.
