About Brad
Family run, and local for a reason.
Coabra Electrical is Brad Coates. In his own words, it is a “family run electrical contracting business” and he has over a decade of experience in the electrical field, plus the local knowledge that comes with actually living in South Gippsland rather than driving down from town for the day.
He works as a Registered Electrical Contractor, licence number 31476, which is printed on the sign at the side of the road along with his name and his mobile. That is the sort of business this is: the number you ring is the number of the bloke who turns up.
What customers keep writing about is not the wiring, it is the way the job gets run. Prompt. Clean at the end. Honest about the cheaper option when there is one. One reviewer put it plainly: one of the most reliable trades in the area.

South Gippsland Hospital
Exterior floodlighting on the hospital entrance sign, photographed after dark with the light doing its job. Commercial work for a building the whole district uses.
Farm meter box, out in the paddock
Rural work is a proper part of the business: meter boxes, shed power, dairy gear and three phase, often a long way from the nearest road.
The sign at the Foster Golf Club
Coabra sponsors the 6th hole. The sign carries the licence number and the mobile, because that is all you really need.
Where we go

We’ve used Coabra Electrical several times now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Brad is always prompt, knowledgeable, and completely trustworthy. What really stands out is his willingness to suggest smarter, more cost-effective ways of doing things, which we really appreciate. His pricing is very reasonable, and he always leaves the place clean and tidy when the job is done. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. We highly recommend Coabra Electrical to anyone looking for a reliable and professional sparky!
One of the most reliable trades in the area. Good communication and assistance during the renovations of our house. Thanks Brad!
Very professional service. Brad has been amazing helping me in an emergency & with his apprentice Ty, has re-wired, safety checked & installed new lights, switches, ceiling fans, TV arial, new coaxial cable plus more. He’s prompt, very efficient, knowledgable & has given me great advice to help with decisions about my renovation.
I could not be more delighted with the job Brad and Tai have done for me. A somewhat out-of-the ordinary problem presented no challenge to Brad’s ingenuity. I suspect he quite enjoyed the challenge of doing something that required preliminary research, some engineering, lots of patience and trust that it would work out, plenty of very precise measurements and infinite attention to detail. What a fabulous outcome - I am ecstatic and perfectionist that he is, he was even grudgingly satisfied 😉 Thank you both so much.
Brad did an excellent job for us. New switch board installed and a couple of outside power points. Great comms, great service, came out on a Saturday, arrived on time and left the site the way he found it (clean). Highly recommended. Only sparkie I’ll be using in the future. Thanks Brad!

“We believe it's important to support the community who supports our business, and sponsoring local sporting clubs is just one way that we do this.”
Brad Coates, on sponsoring the 6th hole at the Foster Golf Club
It is a small district. The people who ring Coabra are the same people Brad sees at the footy, at the club and at the shops, which is a decent reason on its own to do the job properly.
