 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly professional, polite, and quick to respond. They completed small but urgent job with high standard and high professionalism. If you are especially tired of electricians who are rude, overpriced, hard to communicate with, don't respond or don't even show up, KORLEC is the one you should call!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, Professional, Skilled, Reliable I’ve used Korlec for several jobs now from simple power points to a very tricky 3-phase installation for an induction cooktop. While others suggested an ugly conduit up the wall, Mick and Tony found a  smarter, neater solution and did it perfectly even though it was very difficult and all with a smile. They also installed my EV charger and were, as always efficient, tidy, and incredibly friendly. What really impressed me however was their honesty. I’d had two other companies - one with a big presence - try to convince me to replace my 10 year old switchboards (over $3000 quoted) claiming they were not compliant. This is not what I had them quoting but it’s what they fixated on. It felt like a hard sell so I did some research and discovered it’s a come fear tactic used by companies. I asked Korlec when they came to quote and Xavier immediately said they were fine and my insurer confirmed it too. That’s when I knew I’d found electricians I could trust. Highly recommend Korlec.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called several electricians before calling Korlec, and seriously, from the moment Xavier picked up the phone I knew I was in good hands! He was extremely patient (I had lots of questions) and super helpful - fabulous customer service! Xavier organised his colleague Tony to come out in a ceiling fan for me, and he turned up on time and within budget as the website says. Tony told me he loves working for Korlec, which is a great reflection on what an excellent business this is. My ceiling fan is in, and I couldn’t be happier with it!! Thanks Team Korlec! Have already recommended you to two friends who need electrical work done! 👍

Korlec Emergency Lighting FAQ

Do you offer any guarantees?

Yes! All electrical work comes with a 12-month peace of mind workmanship warranty. If anything related to our installation needs attention within 12 months, we’ll return promptly to resolve it. All work is completed to Australian Standards and QLD electrical compliance requirements, so you can feel confident that when you need it, your emergency lighting will work exactly as it should.

How often do we need to have emergency lighting tested?

In Queensland (and across Australia), emergency and exit lighting must be tested regularly to meet legal and safety requirements under the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standard AS/NZS 2293.2. While actual wording comes from the standards rather than a specific QLD Act, the practice is the same in QLD as elsewhere in Australia:

You need to have your emergency lighting inspected and tested at least every six months by a qualified person (typically a licensed electrician). This includes a 90-minute discharge test to confirm the lights and battery system will operate for the required duration in a power outage.

Additionally, as part of compliance you should:

Inspect and clean the fittings and reflective surfaces at least once every 12 months (alongside the six-monthly tests).
Keep records/logbooks of all tests and outcomes onsite, as part of your safety documentation.

These intervals (6-monthly and annual checks) are considered the minimum compliance requirements for emergency lighting in commercial and high-occupancy buildings.
