Hundy Electrical licensed Gold Coast electrician — residential and commercial electrical services SEQ

Frequently asked

questions (FAQ’s)

About Hundy Electrical

  • Absolutely. While we love a big project, we work with Gold Coast homeowners every day on smaller jobs — LED upgrades, extra power points, ceiling fan installations, fault finding and more. Same licensed team, same quality, no job too small. Give us a call on 0409 910 555.

  • Yes — we're based in Miami and Burleigh Heads and have been operating on the Gold Coast for years. We're a husband and wife run business and our team lives and works right here in SEQ. We're not a franchise or a large corporation — just a tight-knit local team that takes pride in every job.

  • Yes. Hundy Electrical installs residential and small commercial solar systems across the Gold Coast and SEQ. We handle all electrical work including panel wiring, inverter installation, switchboard integration and grid connection compliance. We work with quality solar brands and can advise on system size, battery storage and current rebate eligibility.

  • Queensland homeowners can access the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which reduces the upfront cost of eligible solar systems through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). The value of rebates changes regularly. Contact us for current figures and we'll factor available rebates into your quote.

  • Yes. We hold licences in both Queensland (Licence No. 84005) and NSW (Licence No. 361226C), so we regularly work across the border into the Tweed Coast, Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Casuarina and surrounding Northern NSW areas.

  • We're a family run team — not a large company. That means you deal with the same people from quote through to completion. We use Simpro for job management so you'll receive a booking confirmation before we arrive and a follow-up after we're done. We show up when we say, we quote transparently, and we leave your home tidy. Our Google reviews speak for themselves.

Residential Electrical

  • Switchboard upgrade costs on the Gold Coast typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the size of your home, the age of your existing board, and whether safety switches need to be added. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — contact us on 0409 910 555 or via our website and we'll assess your switchboard and give you a clear price upfront.

  • Yes. In Queensland, all electrical work including ceiling fan installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and dangerous. Hundy Electrical can install your ceiling fan quickly and safely, including any wiring or switch upgrades required.

  • LED downlight installation on the Gold Coast typically costs between $80 and $150 per light depending on the type of fitting, ceiling material and access. Replacing existing halogens with LEDs is a quick job — most homes can be done in a single visit. We provide free quotes for all lighting upgrades.

  • Yes — adding power points is one of our most common residential jobs. We can install standard power points, double GPOs, USB power points or outdoor weatherproof points anywhere in your home. Pricing depends on location and cable run length. We'll give you a clear quote before any work begins.

  • A frequently tripping safety switch usually indicates a faulty appliance or a wiring issue that needs professional attention. Don't ignore it — contact a licensed electrician. We can attend your Gold Coast property, identify the fault and rectify it safely. Call us on 0409 910 555.

  • Signs your home may need rewiring include frequently tripping circuits, flickering lights, burning smells near power points, discoloured switches or outlets, or wiring that is more than 25 years old. If you're concerned, book a safety inspection with Hundy Electrical and we'll assess the condition of your wiring and advise you honestly.

New Builds & Renovations

  • Electricians typically work in two main stages on a new build. The first stage — rough-in — happens after the frame is up but before walls are closed. We install all conduit, cables and boxes at this point. The second stage — fit-off — happens near completion when we install all switches, power points, light fittings, switchboards and test the system. We coordinate with your builder throughout the timeline of your build..

  • Absolutely — this is a large part of what we do. We work alongside some of the Gold Coast's leading builders including Haynes Built, IVO Constructions, Ubora Living and Newscope Constructions. We're experienced in coordinating with project managers to keep builds on schedule. Ask your builder to contact us or reach out directly on 0409 910 555.

  • Yes. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are a core part of our residential work. We handle all electrical work for the renovation including new lighting, power points, rangehood wiring, heated towel rails, exhaust fans, and any required switchboard upgrades. We work with both homeowners directly and with small kitchen and bathroom builders.

  • Yes — and we strongly recommend doing this at the build stage. We can install solar-ready wiring and a solar-ready switchboard, as well as pre-wire for an EV charger in the garage. Doing this during the build costs a fraction of what a retrofit would cost later and adds real value to your home.

Air Conditioning & EV charger

  • Yes. Queensland legislation requires that rental properties have safety switches (RCDs) installed on power circuits. Smoke alarms must also meet current standards. Hundy Electrical can inspect your rental property, install any required safety switches and smoke alarms, and provide compliance certificates for your records.

  • Yes. We install and test smoke alarms to current Queensland and NSW standards and provide compliance certificates. This is particularly important for landlords — Queensland's smoke alarm legislation requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all residential rental properties. We make the process straightforward for property managers.

  • A pre-purchase electrical inspection is a thorough assessment of a property's electrical system carried out by a licensed electrician before you purchase. We inspect the switchboard, wiring, power points, lighting and smoke alarms, and provide a written report on any issues found. If you're buying a home on the Gold Coast — especially an older property — this inspection can save you from expensive surprises after settlement.

  • We understand that property managers need fast, reliable response times. We aim to attend urgent safety-related issues within 24 hours and routine maintenance within a few business days. Contact us directly on 0409 910 555 to discuss priority scheduling for your property portfolio.

Property Managers, Safety & Compliance

  • Yes. In Queensland, all air conditioning installation work — including the electrical connection and refrigerant handling — must be carried out by a licensed professional. Hundy Electrical holds both an electrical contractor licence and an ARC refrigerant handling licence (ARC Licence No. L203726), so we handle the complete installation legally and safely.

  • Split system installation on the Gold Coast typically costs between $600 and $1,200 for a standard single unit, depending on the brand, size and difficulty of the installation. This includes supply of the unit, installation, commissioning and all electrical work. We provide free quotes — contact us for a same-day response.

  • Yes. Hundy Electrical installs residential and small commercial solar systems across the Gold Coast and SEQ.

Pricing, Process & Practical Questions

  • Yes — we charge a small service fee of $50–$75 on residential and general call-out jobs. This covers the cost of getting our licensed tradesperson to your door — fully equipped, on time, and ready to work. We think it's fairer than building hidden travel costs into every job price, so you always know exactly what you're paying for upfront. The service fee is separate from the cost of the actual work, which we'll quote clearly before anything begins. Builder clients and established trade partners are exempt from the service fee as part of our ongoing working relationships.

  • A service fee covers the real cost of sending a qualified, licensed tradesperson to your property — fuel, vehicle running costs, insurance and travel time. At Hundy Electrical we keep ours transparent and reasonable ($50–$75) rather than hiding travel costs inside inflated hourly rates or surprise line items on your invoice. What you see is what you pay.
