Electrician · Stafford & Brisbane's inner north
Lighting, power, switchboards and smoke alarms, done by the electrician who answers the phone. You'll know what's wrong and what it costs before any work starts.
Mostly homes in the inner north, plus a handful of small offices and shops. Everything quoted up front.
If it isn't worth doing, I'll say so. — D.
New power points where you actually need them, pendants hung dead-centre, fans that don't wobble, dimmers that dim. Small practical improvements that make an old house easier to live in.
Old ceramic-fuse boards assessed and replaced with modern breakers and safety switches, every circuit tested and labelled so the next person can read it.
Every Queensland home needs interconnected photoelectric alarms by 1 January 2027. We assess what you have, then install or replace alarms in one visit.
Fault finding, lighting and routine maintenance for small offices and retail. Early starts available, so the work is finished before you open.
No call centre. The person who picks up is the person who turns up, so nothing gets lost between booking and the job.
We trace the fault first, then walk you through what's wrong and your options, in plain English, with a price for each.
Drop sheets on the floors, a tidy work area, and the power back on as soon as it's safe.
We show you what changed, clean up and leave. Pay by card or bank transfer.
I've kept a pencil notebook since 2018, filled under houses and inside ceilings across the inner north. Four pages that come up again and again:
No shopfront, just one van. If your suburb isn't listed, call anyway and I'll tell you straight if it's too far.

"Most people just want to know what's wrong, what it costs, and that the house will be clean when I leave. That's the whole job, really."
Daniel Mercer, owner
Daniel Mercer spent years wiring large construction sites before starting Northline in 2018. He wanted a smaller operation, where the customer could talk to the electrician actually doing the work.
It began as a one-van business and has grown on referrals. Today it's Daniel, one apprentice, and a short list of trusted specialists for anything outside our lane.

Ceramic fuses you can pull out, no safety switches, breakers that trip often, a warm or burning smell, or scorch marks near the board. Any one of those is worth a look.
Photoelectric alarms, interconnected so they all sound together, in every bedroom, in hallways outside bedrooms and on every storey. Homes being sold or leased already need them, and every home does from 1 January 2027.
the one I get asked most this year
Yes. Planned work is quoted in writing. For faults, I find the problem first, then give you options and prices before any repair.
Call and ask. If I can't get to you, I'll say so straight away so you can find someone who can.
Card on the day, or bank transfer from the invoice.
Call for anything urgent. For planned work, start a job sheet and Daniel will come back to you with a time to look.
