“Making Mountain Man my go-to for all future electrical work.”
BEFORE YOU BOOK ANYONE
How to know you have the right Cairns electrician.
Fittings specified for a dry climate, and a job that stalls when the wet season arrives, are the two things that go wrong up here. Five things to ask any Cairns electrician, including us.
The licence number, and check it
Queensland publishes an electrical licence register. Ask for the number and look it up yourself before anyone opens your board.
Whether the fittings are rated for the tropics
Cairns humidity and beachside salt will eat a fitting that was specified for a dry climate. Ask what is being installed and why it will survive up here.
What happens if the wet season delays it
Roof and outdoor work stops when the weather closes in. Ask how a job gets rescheduled and whether you keep your place in the queue.
The certificate of test
Electrical installation work in Queensland has to be tested and a certificate of test issued. Ask for yours and keep it with the house papers.
Who you call in six months
A number that still gets answered, and someone who has the record of what was done at your place.

Gear specified for the wet tropics
Sealed and rated fittings for humidity, and marine-grade choices on the beaches where salt gets into everything.

A rescheduled job keeps its place
If the weather stops outdoor work we move you to the next dry window rather than the back of the list, and we tell you the same day.
- 04
Tested, certified, handed over
Every install is tested when it is finished and the certificate goes to you, not into a filing cabinet.
- 05
One record, one number
Your job is on file with the Townsville office, so whoever answers can see what was done and when.
What we can do at your place.
In Cairns we do general electrical, air conditioning and smoke alarms. Solar and commercial work are Townsville services and we will say so rather than take the booking.
Power out, sparks or a burning smell?
Do not use the form. Ring us and we can often tell you how to make it safe over the phone. If you are already a customer, we can come out in an emergency.

Questions before you book.
Is the Cairns electrician the same business as Mountain Man Townsville?
Yes. Same business, same Electrical Contractor Licence 88209, with an electrician based in Trinity Beach and the office in Townsville handling booking and follow-up.
Do you do air conditioning or solar in Cairns?
Air conditioning, yes. We install and repair split systems in Cairns. Solar is a Townsville service for now, and we would rather tell you that than take a booking we cannot deliver well.
How does the wet season affect booking?
Roof and outdoor work stops when the weather closes in. If that happens we move you to the next dry window rather than the back of the queue, and we tell you the same day. Indoor work goes ahead as planned.
Can you work on an older Queenslander?
Yes. A lot of Cairns housing stock is older, and we check what the existing wiring and board can carry before adding anything. If the cable has broken down, we will tell you what a rewire involves rather than load up what is there.
Do you install fittings I have bought myself?
Yes, as long as the fitting is compliant and suited to where it is going. In a beachside home we will tell you if something will not last in the salt air before we fit it.
How quickly can someone get to the northern beaches?
The beaches from Machans through to Palm Cove are part of the regular run. Send the job and your suburb and we will tell you the next available window when we confirm the price.
