Sebastian, Corey, Jack, Zane and Micah all arrived for lots of electrical work this week. They were all very well mannered and did an excellent job on all the different tasks. I recommend all these guys for your electrical work.

Johnno and Michael from Oleada were fantastic. Prompt and punctual, they replaced our original ceiling fans with new ones that are quieter and more efficient power wise. Pricing was very competitive and the workmanship was excellent value. Their clean up practices are phenomenal. The whole process was made easy by their professionalism and transparency.

Awesome service! Sebastian was very efficient, tidy & polite. He explained very clearly what the job entailed & gave us an (accurate) estimate of the time to complete the tasks. He ensured that the work areas were left spotlessly clean & tidy. We recommend him without reserve!

Ceiling Fan Install 12 Mar 26 I recently had the pleasure of working with Craige and Zane from Oleada Electrical for the installation of a ceiling fan in my dining room, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the outset, their professionalism and mastery of their craft were evident. Before starting the job, Craige and Zane took the time… Read more

to meticulously plan every detail, ensuring that everything would go smoothly. They provided a clear and reasonable quote, which I appreciated for its transparency and fairness.

During the installation, their expertise truly shone through. Not only did they install the ceiling fan perfectly, but Zane also noticed a socket that appeared unsafe as it was falling off the drywall. He took the initiative to fix it, demonstrating their commitment to safety and quality work.

What impressed me most was their dedication to cleanliness. After completing the installation, they left the area spotless, which is a rare quality in the trade.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Craige and Zane. If you need any electrical work done, I highly recommend Oleada Electrical. They truly are a cut above the rest!

⚠️ QUEENSLAND HOMEOWNERS — PLEASE BE AWARE From 1 January 2027, Queensland homes will need interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in each bedroom and connecting hallway. I’m sharing this as a heads-up, especially for parents, grandparents and anyone vulnerable. Please make sure you know exactly what you need before agreeing to expensive… Read more

upgrades.

We recently needed to upgrade our smoke alarms to become compliant. An electrical company initially quoted my husband an $89 call-out fee but charged $129. I was then told we needed additional alarms and spent around an hour being pressured to purchase their systems, with quotes of $2,800 and $4,000.

My husband decided to call around and we found another electrician who confirmed what we actually needed. We had the required alarms upgraded and installed for just $677, with a 10-year warranty and compliance certificate.

I’ll include our quote so people can see exactly what we paid.

Please get a second opinion, compare quotes and don’t feel pressured into making an expensive decision on the spot. A little research could save you thousands. ❤️

Despite the many favourable reviews here, my experience has been very different. My advice - be wary about engaging this company. You can easily get bamboozled into agreeing to a job. The tablet quickly produced so you can sign up but as other… Read more

complainants have stated, there’s no breakdown, nothing is itemised. My bad, I should have sent Caige and his mate on their way.

For the installation of two power points I was charged $1,212.46. Such a simple job, an hour’s work for an electrician and apprentice. Seriously, $20 for hardware, the rest labour?

Whilst many electricians are booked out for weeks, invariably, Oleada can turn up almost immediately. I wonder why?

Having now found a local electrician, the quote for another power point (an identical installation) will be $215.82.

As a new customer, I was completely dudded by Oleada. Hard to describe my experience as anything other than a total rip-off.

 Follow-up  · An aura of arrogance surrounds certain trades. Electricians in particular. Oleanda are not fussed about my unfavourable review, they will simply ignore it, until there are more unhappy customers.

Perfect and professional work. Responsible and friendly. Highly recommend Brendon.

I was impressed by all the positive reviews and decided to give this company a try as my usual Electrician is booked out till next year. They charge $45 for a quote, which is waived if you go ahead — but it puts you in a tough spot if the quote is… Read more

high. I needed three PowerPoints installed in straightforward locations, and the quote came in around the $1800 - $2,000, depending on a few options which seemed excessive. I proceeded with one power point for $620, total job took 30–35 minutes. The electricians were on time, friendly and did the job well, but I wouldn’t use them again based on the pricing.

 Follow-up  · They reached out for feedback. I brought up everything as articulated in this review. The person calling was receptive but offered no explanation to why the cost was so high. From my perspective it is extremely hard to justify.

Caige and helper arrived on time and after identiying problem recommended a replacement oven which to my surprise was installed same day. Our swithboard was also upgraded to comply with current regulations. Based on their high workmanship and professionalism I would not hesitate to recommend Oleanda to my friends. 5 out of 5

Fantastic service! Caige from OLEADA Electrical was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The work was completed efficiently and to a very high standard. It's refreshing to find a tradesperson who is reliable, honest, and genuinely cares about doing a good job. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

 Follow-up  · How long did it take? He was here for one morning - organising a time was easy, let them know when I was available and they worked around it, wasn't an emergency so was able to give a couple weeks notice. Was the cost reasonable? I don't know, it was a LOT of money (enough to make my bank account ugly cry), but for the work completed, and the… Read more

I had a disappointing experience and would not recommend this service. I was quoted $3,000 to install one power point and one TV point, which I considered excessive. In my opinion, the service did not offer good value for money.

A great experience from go to whoa managed superbly by Jordan. We needed to replace our ageing solar system. Jordan spent hours with us explaining various options. Once we agreed on the new system things moved swiftly and within a week (3 actual working days) the new system was up and running. Jordan and his team were unobstrusive and… Read more

respectful of our home. We cannot speak too highly of Jordan's attention to detail and his comprehensive hand over. Highly recommended!!

I was given a four hour time span to wait for Oleada to come and install three power points and two television antenna points. After waiting for 2½ hours, I received a call to tell me that they could no longer come because they had an emergency. Ummm... I had booked and was being ditched for an emergency?!?! My dogs had been locked outside for… Read more

the 2½ waiting period and when I had called after two hours I was told they would be here shortly. By the time they had cancelled my appointment, it was too late to book another electrician to come the same day, so have to go through it all again.

At least the new electrician gave me an estimate over the phone for the costs. Oleada wouldn't even give a ballpark estimate. I knew they were more expensive after reading their reviews but feel now that I may have dodged a bullet anyway. I see they jump on anyone who doesn't praise them highly, so will no doubt get negative and nasty comments from them. Their lack of professionalism has definitely left a poor impression on me.

Excellent service from Alex at Oleada Electrical. He communicated everything clearly before commencing the job and made sure I understood the work being completed. The job was finished promptly, and the workmanship was first-class. I wouldn't hesitate to use Oleada Electrical again or recommend them to others.

Alex from Oleada Electrical was fantastic to deal with. He explained the entire job clearly before starting, which gave me confidence in the work being carried out. He worked efficiently, completed everything to a very high standard, and left the area clean and tidy. I couldn't be happier with the service and would happily recommend Alex and Oleada Electrical to anyone.

Great service, phoned the company on Sunday pm, Arrived Monday very early am. The job was explained to me, and the electrician and apprentice were straight into it. Both workers were very easy to talk to, and the workmanship was to a very high standard. This company is now my go-to for any electrical work

Alex recently visited to give me a quote and do some electrical work. He did an amazing job. He’s a very well presented and professional gentleman and he left the site clean so I didnt have to do any cleanup afterwards. I highly recommend Alex for his great work.

Jordan was very prompt and arrived on time. He was excellent in describing the different options and providing quotes. Once we decided on a quote and the products, he was very efficient in installing and cleaning up. I now have 5 compliant smoke alarms thank you to Jordan and Oleada Electrical.
