A. An electrician is a qualified tradesperson licensed to carry out electrical work, such as installations, maintenance, and repairs. An electrical contractor, on the other hand, is a business or individual licensed to operate a company that employs electricians to perform that work.

Electrical contractors hold additional licences and insurances, allowing them to take on larger projects, provide compliance documentation, and guarantee the safety and quality of all work completed under their supervision.

At DB Electrical, we’re a fully licensed electrical contractor, which means we not only have qualified electricians on our team but also meet all legal, safety, and insurance requirements to manage and complete your electrical projects with confidence and professionalism.

A. Some of the most common electrical issues include short circuits, overloaded power systems, appliance failures, deteriorating wiring, tripping lights or power points, and earth leakage faults. If you experience any of these problems, it’s important to call a licensed electrician to inspect, repair, or replace the faulty installation safely and correctly.

A. You might have an overloaded electrical system if you notice frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, warm outlets or switches, or a burning smell. These are signs your system could be working harder than it should.

If you spot any of these issues, it’s important to get a licensed electrician to check things out. At DB Electrical, we can safely assess your system, find the cause, and make any upgrades needed to keep your home safe and running efficiently.

A. First, check whether your neighbours are also without power.

If they are, report the outage to your electricity distributor:

- Energex (South East Queensland): 13 62 62

- Ergon Energy (rest of Queensland): 13 22 96

If your neighbours still have power, check your home’s safety switch (RCD – Residual Current Device). Unplug your appliances from the power points, then try resetting the RCD. This device protects you from electrical faults and may have tripped.

If your power still doesn’t return, there may be a more serious issue requiring professional assistance. Contact DB Electrical — our licensed electricians will safely diagnose the problem and restore your power as quickly as possible.

A. An electrical defect notice is a letter issued by your electricity distributor — such as AGL, Origin Energy, or another provider — advising that there’s an electrical issue at your property that needs attention.

If you receive a notice, contact DB Electrical straight away. One of our licensed electricians will visit your property, inspect the issue, and provide a clear estimate for the required work. Once approved, we’ll take care of everything to ensure your electrical system meets safety standards and your supply is restored without delay.

A. Yes, absolutely! There are several ways to lower your power bill and make your home or business more energy-efficient. At DB Electrical, we can help with solutions such as load balancing, installing energy-efficient lighting and fittings, upgrading to three-phase power, and placing air conditioners or pool systems on special tariff metering.

Our team can assess your current setup and recommend practical, cost-effective upgrades to help you save energy — and money — over time.
