In episode 15 of Raising the Bar, George unpacks how Thomas Metos from Metos Electrical Contracting (MEC) shifted from wiring industrial sites (think Coca-Cola) to residential electrical, niched down into smoke alarms and built a reputation on relationships, and turned picking up the phone into a superpower ☎️
From a business degree to running MEC full-time, Thomas has become the go-to for smoke alarm compliance in Brisbane - and he’s backed by 300+ Google reviews with a 5-star average ⭐
We cover:
- Career & credibility: how a business grad became a residential electrician in Brisbane, the systems behind 300+ Google reviews (5 star average), relationship building that actually lasts, and practical cold-call tips that don’t feel gross 🤝
- Smoke alarms in QLD: current Queensland smoke alarm laws (photoelectric, interconnected, bedrooms/hallways/each level), what’s coming for owner-occupiers by 01 Jan 2027, compliance certificates for sales, typical lifespan and a rough budget guide🧯
