Websites for Brisbane electricians and electrical contractors, with your contractor licence shown the way Queensland’s regulation asks, room to explain the smoke alarm rules that reach every home on 1 January 2027, and a call button for the customer whose power has just gone off.
Residential electrical work in Brisbane has a date on it right now: every remaining Queensland home needs interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms by 1 January 2027. Add safety switch upgrades, storm damage and solar servicing, and your site has to show which of those jobs you take, where you take them, and that you hold the licence to do them.
Queensland’s rules ask your advertising to state your licensed or registered business name, that you’re licensed under the Electrical Safety Act, and your electrical contractor licence number. We put all three in the footer, so the number a customer would check is on every page.
Explain what the law asks for (photoelectric, interconnected, in bedrooms, connecting hallways and on each storey) and that hardwired alarms are installed by an electrician. After January we reword it from a deadline to a compliance check, at no charge, because text edits are part of hosting.
When a Queensland home is sold, or a rental starts a new tenancy, the owner has to have a safety switch fitted to the power point circuits if there isn’t one already. A short paragraph written for new owners and landlords, with its own quote button, puts you in front of that work.
After storm or flood damage, a licensed electrician may need to test the switchboard, wiring and appliances before the power goes back on, and the network can ask for a certificate of test before it reconnects. Saying you do those tests matters to someone standing in a damp house in the dark.
Solar repairs and maintenance that involve electrical work have to be done by a licensed electrician, and storm-damaged panels and batteries should be checked before they’re switched back on. If you do those checks, list what’s included.
Brisbane has more than 190 suburbs, informally grouped by where they sit against the river and the CBD. We list yours under inner, north, south, east and west headings, so a customer in Clayfield or Tarragindi can see straight away that you’ll come.
Electrical licensing in Queensland sits with the Electrical Safety Office, not the QBCC. An electrical mechanic licence lets an individual carry out all electrical work. To run the business and contract for jobs, you also need an electrical contractor licence, which means nominating a qualified business person and a qualified technical person. Building work is separate again: an electrician who takes it on needs a QBCC licence, and the QBCC’s own advertising rules then apply as well.
Those rules now sit in the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, which took over from the 2013 regulation on 1 September 2026. Section 188 covers advertising: an electrical contractor’s ads, including a website, must state the licensed name or registered business name, that the contractor is licensed under the Act, and the contractor licence number. Customers can check that number on the Electrical Safety Office’s online licence search, so the name on your site should match the one they’ll find there.
Smoke alarm laws have been phased in since 2017: first for new and substantially renovated homes, then from 1 January 2022 for homes sold or leased, and from 1 January 2027 for every remaining home. Alarms must be photoelectric, comply with AS 3786-2014 and be interconnected, with one in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every storey. The Queensland Fire Department says hardwired alarms must be installed by a qualified electrician, and that hardwired alarms have to be replaced with hardwired ones.
Safety switches follow a similar pattern. When a home changes hands, the new owner has to have an approved safety switch fitted to the power point circuits if there isn’t one, and a landlord has the same obligation when a new tenancy starts. Energex runs the electricity network across South East Queensland, and after storm or flood damage a property may need a licensed electrician’s inspection, tests and certificate of test before the network reconnects it.
Brisbane’s council area covers roughly 1,343 square kilometres and about 1.24 million people, more than any other council in Australia. If your work spills into Logan, Ipswich, Redland or Moreton Bay, name those suburbs too, under their own heading. We’re an Adelaide team at Hutt St working with Queensland businesses by phone and email: you send your licence details, services and suburbs, and we send back a draft you can check on your phone.
We haven’t built a site for an electrician yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. The closest examples are other trades: M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas, a licensed Queensland trade business, and Western Sydney Stump Grinding, whose site is set up for urgent 24/7 calls much like an electrician’s needs to be.
A Queensland plumber and gas fitter, another trade where customers check the licence before they ring. The single page covers six services and has a swipeable 13-photo job gallery, testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

Not in substance. The Electrical Safety Regulation 2026 took over from the 2013 version on 1 September 2026, and its advertising rule, section 188, asks for your licensed or registered business name, a statement that you’re licensed under the Act, and your electrical contractor licence number. If your current site is missing any of those, it’s worth fixing now.
If you want that work, yes. The page can set out the requirements in plain words, say whether you fit hardwired or 10-year battery alarms, and carry a quote button. Once the deadline passes, we can reword it for compliance checks and replacing old alarms; text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Not yet. Our trade clients include a Queensland plumber and gas fitter, a South Australian builder, an Adelaide painting company and a Western Sydney tree service, and an electrician’s site uses the same parts: licence details, a short quote form, service-area lists and tap-to-call. You see the whole draft before you pay anything, so you can judge it for yourself.
Only if you hold one. Electrical work is licensed by the Electrical Safety Office, but building work needs a QBCC licence, and the QBCC asks for your licensed name, licence number and a statement that you’re licensed under the QBCC Act. If you hold both, we show both in the footer.
Where it helps the customer. On a storm and flood section, it’s useful to explain that a damaged property may need a licensed electrician’s tests and a certificate of test before Energex reconnects it, and that you can do that work. Elsewhere, customers care more about your licence, your suburbs and how quickly you can get there.
Send us your contractor licence number, the jobs you want more of and the suburbs you cover. We’ll quote first, then build the draft before you pay anything.
