Pricing, what you can expect
Most domestic emergency jobs in Brisbane fall in a known range, and we always put a fixed price on the quote before we start. Where we can give you a ballpark up-front, here it is, but we'll still come and look at the job properly before we commit to a number.
- Typical Voltech price starts at $165.
- Quote is free during business hours, no call-out fee for standard quotes.
- Fixed-price written quote, valid for 30 days.
- Card or bank-transfer payment accepted on the day.
Suburbs we work in for emergency
We do emergency work daily across south-east Brisbane, from Carina, Carindale and Camp Hill in the inner-east through to Wynnum and Manly on the bay. See the full service area.
Why Voltech?
We're a Camp Hill-based, owner-operated electrical business. John holds the QLD electrical contractor's licence, carries $20M public liability insurance, and is on every single job we do. There's no call centre, no rotating crew of contractors, and no hidden charges. We'd rather quote one job properly than ten jobs with surprises.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as an emergency?
Burning smells, sparking outlets, partial or total power loss, exposed live cabling, flooded sockets, and any storm damage that could be a fire or shock risk. If in doubt, ring, there is no charge to ask.
How fast can you get here?
From Carina we can usually be on-site within 60 minutes anywhere in our core service area. After-hours we'll give you a real ETA before we leave the depot.
What does an after-hours call-out cost?
Our fixed after-hours call-out starts at $165 and includes the first 30 minutes on-site. We'll always tell you the cost before any further work.
Should I turn off the power before you arrive?
If there's smoke, a burning smell, sparking, or any visible water near electrical equipment, yes. Switch the main isolator off and stay clear until we arrive.
