The 5 Best Electricians in Gold Coast with Reliable Services for Homes and Businesses
I can do a lot of DIY repairs, but electrical work is one thing I’ll never touch. I learned that the hard way when my dad tried to replace a switch and accidentally blacked out the entire living room. Mom went ballistic and banned him from touching wires again.
So when one of the sockets in my home office suddenly stopped working, I didn’t try to fix it myself. I did what any sensible person would do and went to Google to look for reliable electricians on the Gold Coast.
The problem? Everyone claimed to be “the best,” and I had no idea who actually lived up to the hype.
That’s when I called the rest of my Best Gold Coast team for help. After digging through reviews, talking to homeowners, and checking out dozens of electricians on the Gold Coast, these are the ones that stood out!
How much do electricians charge for services on the Gold Coast?
Electricians typically charge $70 to $140 per hour. These rates depend on the scale of the job, time, and labor costs.
1. OLZ Electrical
Phone: +61478933284
Business hours: 24 hours
OLZ Electrical offers a comprehensive range of electrical services. They handle pretty much any job size, from small wiring fixes to upgrades and handling the whole property’s electrical system.
We also find the 24/7 emergency service reliable, as many homeowners mentioned that they answer calls promptly and arrive quickly at the site.
Even with the regular service, we heard that the team arrived as agreed and did not reschedule.
Homeowners also appreciate that the consultation allows them to choose the work scope that suits them. We find this a great feature as well, since it shows the team’s flexibility with the service and costs.
On the work side, the feedback is positive as well. Homeowners said that the team is neat and efficient. Plus, the workmanship is always “spot on” and of excellent quality.
We were just disappointed to hear that a few jobs were turned down, especially during public holidays.
I had a great experience with OLZ Electrical.
“They were punctual, worked quickly, and were very neat and professional. I needed two pendant lights safely disconnected, and they handled it perfectly. The team was friendly and provided excellent service. I would definitely recommend them!”
– Valentina Di Nisio, Google Reviews
We highly recommend OLZ Electrical to everyone.
“Their service was professional from the beginning to the end. After an initial inspection from Oliver, we received a good and clear quote with no hidden costs, all our questions got answered quickly, and the work started on the confirmed day and time. We are very pleased with the delivered job and will definitely contact Oliver again if more electrical works are required in our place.”

2. MCH Electrical Pty Ltd
Phone: +61756657013
Business hours: 24 hours
MCH offers a broad range of electrical services to commercial and residential clients. From general electrical work to specialized installation of appliances, the team can do it.
During the job, many homeowners appreciate that the team is honest. They’re clear about the work needed and the available options without adding unnecessary services.
That must be why MCH has a lot of loyal and returning clients. This made us even more confident in recommending them, as their long-term client relationships demonstrate the quality and consistency of their service.
Some clients said the MCH team performed additional work without extra charge while already on site. For example, installing new lighting or checking other electrical components that aren’t included in the initial quote.
These little extras make a difference, since they can save time and money, unlike other electricians who require a separate booking.
We also heard that they can provide after-hours emergency services. However, some homeowners noted that the rates for this are more expensive than the regular ones.
Highly recommend MCH Electrical
“Just had MCH Electrical back again. This time we had them install a pendant light over our dining table and upgrade 2 down lights again, top quality service, Michael and the team are very professional.”
– A1 Commercial Cleaning, Google Reviews
Such a wonderful experience with this business.
“They came out on a Saturday morning after a circuit in my home tripped and wouldn’t reset. He was incredibly friendly, calm, and explained everything in a way I could easily understand. He found the fault quickly, repaired the issue, and even improved the safety of my switchboard by splitting the two circuits that had been combined. I really appreciated the honesty and care in the work… It’s so refreshing to find a tradesperson you can trust.”

3. Knight Power Electrical
Phone: +61424195705
Business hours: Monday to Sunday, 7 AM–5 PM
Knight Power Electrical is well-known on the Gold Coast for its flexible, reliable services. The team’s service scope ranges from basic power points to more complex jobs like home automation.
During the job, homeowners told us that the team was very respectful of the property and always tidied up at the end of the job. The team would even help in disposing of old electrical items.
Homeowners also appreciate that the team provides an electrical compliance certificate for every job. This was very useful, especially if homeowners may need it for insurance claims or code compliance.
With its broad coverage and certification compliance, Knight Power could be a good pick for both homeowners and businesses that need safe and documented work. Also, many property managers/landlords find the team a “go-to” reliable electrician.
The only gripe is that some past clients mentioned that the team can be difficult to reach.
I was really impressed with this company.
“Ryan was responsive, returning phone calls quickly and providing quotes. He completed 2 days of work, air conditioners and smoke detectors, service was personal and professional, great suggestions, good price.”
– Graeme Roberts, Google Reviews
Very efficient service.
“Ryan recently replaced an air conditioning unit and installed smoke alarms in my mum’s home. Very reasonable quote and very professional and prompt service. I would highly recommend this business.”

4. EJ Electrical and Air Conditioning
Address: 4/6 Wheeler Cres, Currumbin
Phone: +61756465541
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 5 AM–10 PM
- Saturday and Sunday, 5 AM–11:30 PM
We were impressed to know that EJ Electrical and Air Conditioning has a fleet of vans on the road. This allows the team to respond promptly to calls and offer same-day services when possible.
With this, the team can also provide services across the Gold Coast and its surrounding areas.
According to the homeowners, the team always arrives on time and gets to work quickly. And when the job is done, the team leaves everything clean and tidy.
The best thing is that EJ Electrical and Air Conditioning works around its clients’ schedules. This allows clients to monitor the job at their most convenient time, without filing for vacation leave from work.
We were disappointed to hear from a few homeowners that the team can be difficult to reach at times. They said that they tried to call multiple times, but kept getting redirected to an automated message/voicemail.
Great
“Toby was efficient and informative while completing the tasks required. He pre-phoned which was greatly appreciated. Toby also responded to several questions we asked with an honest evaluation of electrical work we’d like completed. We were so impressed we’ve booked him to come back again!”
– Chris Rawlins, Google Reviews
EJ Electrical was excellent to deal with.
“From the initial phone consultation they were very helpful and informative and we were able to make a booking within the week. When Nathan attended our house for the job and he was on time, polite, helpful, courteous and professional. He completed the job quickly and efficiently, so much so that we have booked him to come back and do some more for us very soon. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this business.”

5. Emos Electrical
Address: 14 River Cres, Broadbeach Waters
Phone: +61424473630
Business hours: Monday to Sunday, 6 AM–11 PM
Emos has been operating for 25 years, and it’s actually known around the city for providing reliable and comprehensive services ranging from minor repairs to major installations.
What many homeowners find appealing is the same-day service. As long as they call in within the office hours, the team arrives promptly to take care of the job.
And we noticed that their working hours are quite long as well, so clients can actually call in until late at night.
Even though a 24/7 emergency service isn’t offered, we were pleased to find out that their lines are open all the time. So, customers can still make an appointment at odd hours, and the team will take care of it the next day.
We also appreciate that a free switchboard check and smoke alarm are included with every booking. This is very helpful, as it makes homeowners aware of any unchecked issues.
On the flip side, some homeowners find the services a little more expensive than those of other electricians who provide the same service.
Highly recommend!
“Michael arrived on time, quickly got to work installing my new pendants, replaced faulty down lights and even screwed in a solar flood light for my kids basketball area! He identified an issue with my front sensor light that I had completely forgotten about! So was helpful to have this finally fixed at the some time! Thanks Michael for exceptional service and grateful for how quickly you get jobs done.”
– Melissa Ding, Google Reviews
Will absolutely be using them again.
“Had the pleasure of working with Michael from Emo’s Electrical, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He installed a 20A plug to a brand new circuit at my place, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. Professional, punctual, and clearly takes pride in his work — the install was clean, tidy, and fully compliant. Michael explained everything clearly, double-checked all the safety measures, and made sure the job was done right the first time. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing top-quality work and leaving customers satisfied. Hard to find that kind of service these days.”
