About Expert Electrical

The truth is, we’re really all about YOU and how we can provide you with the best service. But, okay, here’s a little more about who we are…
We’re a family-owned and operated company, built from the ground up.
We’ve been around for close on 13 years. Ben, our head electrician and company principal, started out installing solar solutions in 2010.

Since then we’ve completed over 10,000 solar installations.
We’re based in Brendale on the north side of Brisbane, serving customers as far as Central Queensland and Northern New South Wales. But we’re not so far that we can’t easily get to you when needed.
And, of course, we’re… "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie"…proudly Australian.

Professional from sales to installation

So glad we chose to go with Expert Electrical.All the staff we dealt with from the office girl to the sales guy to the installation team were exceptional worth taking the time to recommend this company which was recommended to us.We know we got the best system for us and it all happened so quick.

Expert Electrical. A company that lives up to their name.

Review left 2 years after system installed

Sales people were very knowledgeable and didn't try to make me install what they wanted, rather they were very helpful in tuning my plans into a very good system. They arrived on time and did an excellent job leaving no mess just a very good system that has meant no power bills at all, just credits.

System receives power for most of the day and the panels look great.

Inverter looks and works great. The app connects giving a lot of information. The direct connection to the system by IP address gives a lot of control. The only problem I have had was when I wanted to do a system reset and couldn't remember the sequence. Fronius tech support were very patient and talked me through the process and waited while the system came back online. He then pushed a system update through. I can't rate Fronius highly enough.

The batteries look and function great. I hadn't heard of BYD previously but wouldn't hesitate to install them again.

Very high spec gear for the price and overall very happy with it. Only quibble is lack of display on device. If the internet is down the only info is the LED which changes colour at 50% and 20% battery. QR code scan to phone from device doesn't work.

The quote process was simple, the reo came to the house, reviewed where the panels could go and looked at the electrical board to make sure he understood the installation requirements. He sat with me and ran through the options and as I wasn’t sure if I wanted a battery or just panels, he provided quotes for both. He explained the rebates available and the changes coming at the end of the year, something other companies had used as a scare tactic to make me sign quicker was just explained carefully and not pushed on me. The process after I signed was well communicated and efficient. The install was done a few weeks later, in and out in a day by an experienced team. They explained what they were going to do and let me know what was going on through the day, then ran through the operation of the system. They followed up later to check everything was working and I was satisfied with the service. Good experience all round.

Trent was very informative with features and benefits. Not pushy and I ordered the unit within a couple of days and the system was installed within a couple of weeks.

Very happy with the speed, quality and communication that Expert Electrical (EE) did for my Solar install. Originally it was going to be 60 days from Quote to install, but ended up being 30 days as he called me and slotted me in early. First contact with EE was fantastic, we had a very quick conversation as I had already done a lot of research on what I wanted (such as size and expected costs). I ended up choosing EE over another installer as the end product between the 2 were very similar in quality but EE was cheaper. I think this is down the the cost of the Inverter being cheaper as EE said that he deals directly with SMA instead of through a dealer, being cheaper prices. I was emailed through 6 different options. 3 ~6.6kw and 3 ~7.7kw systems, each system being a cheap, average, better quality. I ended up with a 7.7kW system with a 6kW SMA inverter, the most expensive as that had a really good return on investment for me as I don't mind paying a bit more for something that better quality. Email communication was top notch, especially in the afternoons with replies being as short as a few minutes. I enquired about what monitoring hardware was available (as I know inverters can only show whats being generated, I wanted to know how much I was using, generating, exporting and importing. They gave me 2 products and some information before jumping on a video call and him showing me his computer screen showing how the product works. Excellent use of video calling. Day of install came and the contractors (not EE, but Derwent Electrical) showed up and did a top notch job. Very happy with the work they did, 0 complaints with EE or Derwent electrical. 10/10 would recommend EE to a friend or Family member.

Expert Electrical efficiently and politely installed our 5Kw system in inner city Brisbane, along with doing some electrical work to modernise our powerbox, wire up the back deck and install some fans and air conditioning. Overall it was an over $10K job. Things went downhill quickly after they finished the job though. They stuffed up the invoices and sent aggressive overdue notices for a large invoice we paid on the day of installation, they left without returning my neighbours parking permit, and they didn't respond to emails about the parking permit or a defective fan installation in our bedroom that has been keeping us up at night (put in by a teenage apprentice). They did respond eventually (3 weeks later) after they sent me another overdue notice and I pointed out the problem with the invoice and provided a bank receipt showing I'd already paid it. But instead of sending someone over to look at the fan they sent a sales rep to threaten me again with non-payment of a second bill, tell me - without looking at it - that the problem with the fan was manufacturing and not their work - and used my neighbours parking permit as leverage (threatening to withhold it until we paid the remaining bill for the electrical component - an invoice that was issued the day before and wasn't even due yet). I immediately paid their bill to get them out of my life but am now in a position of needing another electrician to fix the fan. I can't recommend them. They were completely unwilling to take responsibility for their work and incompetent and threatening in their approach to billing.
