Do you do residential and commercial work in Carina?

Both. Residential is the bulk of our Carina work, but we also do small commercial fit-outs, retail strip electrical, and body-corp common-area work. If you're a property manager or builder, ask for trade pricing.

Are you licensed to do work in Carina?

Yes. We hold a current QLD electrical contractor's licence (92622), $20M public liability insurance, and we lodge every Certificate of Test with the QLD Electrical Safety Office.

Will you tell me if my Carina home doesn't actually need the work yet?

Yes. We make money on real jobs, not on selling work people don't need. If you book a Carina quote and the honest answer is your switchboard has another five years in it, that's what we'll tell you.

Why Voltech is the right call in Carina

Most of Carina's housing stock is post-war (1945 to 1970s) low-set brick or chamfer-board. That generation of home almost always has the original switchboard with ceramic fuses, single-phase service, and lighting circuits with no safety switch. We do at least one switchboard upgrade in Carina every week.
