How much does an electrician cost in Brisbane?

Most Brisbane electricians charge $80–$150 an hour plus a $50–$150 call-out fee, and many quote common jobs at a fixed price. Prices include GST; the final quote depends on access, wiring age and the switchboard.

Hourly rate$80 – $150 per hour
Call-out / service fee$50 – $150
After-hours or emergency visit (call-out + first hour)$200 – $700
Fault finding$150 – $400 per visit
New power point$150 – $300 per point
LED downlight$60 – $150 per light
Ceiling fan installation$150 – $400 per fan
Safety switch (RCD)$150 – $350 per switch
Smoke alarm, supplied and installed$100 – $250 per alarm
Switchboard upgrade$900 – $2,800
EV charger, installed$1,000 – $3,000

Tips before you book

  • Ask for a fixed price on simple jobs like power points, downlights and fans rather than paying by the hour.
  • Bundle small jobs into one visit to pay the call-out fee once.
  • Older homes may need a switchboard upgrade before new circuits, an EV charger or solar can be added; ask the electrician to check first.

How to choose an electrician in Brisbane

In Queensland, all electrical work — even replacing a power point or light switch — must be done by a licensed electrician working for a licensed electrical contractor, so the licence check comes first.

  1. Check their electrical contractor licence.

    Search the business name or licence number on the Electrical Safety Office licence search (https://www.electricalsafety.qld.gov.au/electrical-license-search). If they're not listed, call 1300 362 128 before agreeing to any work.

  2. Get two or three itemised quotes.

    Compare labour, parts and call-out fees separately, and ask which jobs they can fixed-price.

  3. Ask about the call-out fee and after-hours rates

    before they arrive, especially for emergencies.

  4. Ask for your compliance certificate.

    Queensland electrical contractors must give you a certificate of testing and compliance as soon as possible after installation work is finished. Keep it with your home records.

  5. Check smoke alarm compliance while they're there.

    From 1 January 2027, every Queensland home needs interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in each bedroom, hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every storey. Hard-wired 240-volt alarms must be installed by a licensed electrician.

  6. Check reviews for your type of job.

    An electrician with many reviews for switchboards or EV chargers is a safer bet for that job than a perfect score from a handful of reviews.

  7. Confirm public liability insurance

    and ask how they warrant their workmanship.

Never do your own electrical work: in Queensland it's illegal, with fines of up to $40,000 for individuals.

How do I check if an electrician is licensed in Queensland?

Search the business on the Electrical Safety Office's electrical licence search at electricalsafety.qld.gov.au, or call 1300 362 128. Look for a current electrical contractor licence, not just an individual worker's licence.

A standard switchboard upgrade typically costs $900–$2,800, depending on the number of circuits and whether safety switches are added. Three-phase upgrades cost more.

How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Brisbane?

A home EV charger typically costs $1,000–$3,000 installed. The price depends on the charger, cable run and whether your switchboard needs upgrading.

Is it free to request quotes through Top Local Trades?

Yes. Requesting quotes is free for homeowners, with no obligation. Select the electricians you want, describe the job once, and each business receives your request directly.

How are electricians ranked on this page?

Electricians are ordered by their Google rating weighted by review count, so a 5.0 from a few reviews doesn't outrank a 4.9 from hundreds. Businesses can't pay to change their position in the ranked list. See how we rank for the full method.
