QLD Licence 90899. Serving Dutton Park since 2016.
Older homes, tight access, tricky wiring. Dutton Park properties need an electrician who has seen it before. Anthony quotes it, completes it and certifies it. One person, no runaround.
Dutton Park packs a lot into a small footprint. Wedged between the PA Hospital, UQ St Lucia and the South East Busway, it is one of Brisbane’s most central suburbs. The housing is mostly pre-war and post-war cottages on compact blocks, with a handful of newer townhouse developments filling the gaps. Small homes, but the electrical issues inside them are anything but.
Workers cottages along Annerley Road, Cornwall Street and Welsby Street were built long before modern electrical demands existed. Anthony regularly finds original VIR wiring, single-circuit switchboards with ceramic fuses and earthing systems that would not pass any modern inspection. These homes have often had decades of patchwork additions by previous owners. A new air conditioner wired off an existing circuit here, a granny flat extension there. The result is switchboards held together by workarounds.
Dutton Park also has a high proportion of rental properties. Landlords need an electrician who can diagnose faults quickly, complete repairs to code and provide the documentation property managers require. Anthony handles both owner-occupied and rental work across the suburb and understands the compliance obligations for each.
For an Electrician Dutton Park homeowners can call directly, Anthony covers 4102 and surrounds. Every Electrician Dutton Park job finishes with a signed Certificate of Electrical Safety in line with the Queensland Electrical Safety Act 2002.

Pricing, older homes, rental compliance and what Dutton Park properties typically need fixed.
First 30 minutes on-site from $220 ex GST. That covers fault diagnosis and minor work. Jobs like safety switch installs or smoke alarm upgrades from $350 ex GST. Full switchboard replacements and rewires are quoted after inspection. Written quote provided before anything starts.
Possibly. If your home was built before 1970, it may still have VIR (vulcanised india rubber) or TRS wiring. This insulation breaks down over time and becomes a fire risk. The only way to know for certain is an inspection. Anthony can assess your wiring and tell you exactly what condition it is in and whether it needs replacing.
As a landlord in Queensland, you are responsible for maintaining a safe electrical system, working safety switches on all circuits and compliant hardwired smoke alarms. If a tenant reports a fault, it must be attended promptly. Anthony works with property managers and landlords to keep Dutton Park rentals compliant and safe.
Yes. Anthony is based 12 minutes away in Mount Gravatt East. Power outages, sparking power points, tripping boards and storm damage are attended same day. After-hours attendance fee is $330 ex GST.
Yes. Ceramic fuses do not provide the protection modern homes require. They cannot detect earth leakage, which means they will not protect you from electric shock. Anthony replaces ceramic fuse boards with modern switchboards fitted with RCDs and circuit breakers. Most replacements are completed in four to six hours.
Yes. The newer townhouse developments in Dutton Park sometimes need additional circuits, switchboard upgrades or power point additions. Anthony also handles strata and body corporate work for common areas if required.
You do not need a permit yourself. All electrical work in Queensland must be performed by a licensed electrician who issues a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion. This certificate is your proof that the work was completed legally and to standard. Anthony provides one with every job.
Yes. Outdoor power points, garden lighting, security sensor lights and entertaining area wiring are all common jobs across Dutton Park. All outdoor installations use weatherproof fittings rated for Brisbane conditions.
Overloaded switchboards in older cottages. These homes were wired for lights and a few power points. Decades later they are running air conditioners, electric hot water, multiple appliances and sometimes a granny flat off the same small board. The switchboard cannot cope and circuits start tripping.
Always. Anthony inspects the job on site, explains what needs doing and provides a written fixed-price quote. You approve it before any work begins. The price on the quote is the price you pay.
One phone call. On-site quote within 24 hours. No call centre, no runaround, no inflated franchise pricing.
