Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come up first, so here is exactly how our pricing works.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We offer $0 call-out fees and free quotes, so you can get us out and get a price with nothing to pay up front. Every job gets fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How much does an electrician cost in Gwandalan?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given up front. A power point swap costs less than a full switchboard upgrade, and we will not know the exact figure until we have seen the job. What stays the same is fixed, upfront pricing agreed before we start, with no hourly guesswork.

How does electrical pricing work?

You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you are up for. Options are discussed with your technician on site, and there is $0 call-out and no pressure either way.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the work, once you are satisfied the job has been done properly. Ask about flexible payment options on bigger jobs when we quote it.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so let us set out exactly what we are licensed and accredited to do.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs. Level 2 ASP accredited means we're accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) and done right.

Do I need a licensed electrician to add power points?

Yes. In NSW, electrical work like adding or moving power points must be done by a licensed electrician, it is not a legal DIY job. It is about your home and your family being safe, not just the rules. See our power points service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes, fully licensed and insured, plus a lifetime labour warranty on every job. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no argument.

Is it safe to keep using a power point that's playing up?

No. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the wall and call a licensed electrician. See burnt outlet for more on the warning signs.

Common questions

Do you offer same-day service?

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is a plain-English rundown of what our bigger jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess the existing board, replace old fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards (AS/NZS 3000). This matters in Gwandalan because many homes from the suburb's 1960s-1980s build-out still run original ceramic fuse boards. See switchboard upgrades.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting, all handled by our licensed team. See lighting and power points.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the added load before we connect it. See EV charger installation.

Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?

Yes. This is common in Gwandalan, where many houses were wired before RCDs were mandatory and still lack safety switches on key circuits. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See switchboard upgrades.

Are you Level 2 ASP accredited?

Yes. We are a Level 2 ASP, accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks, so we handle service mains, metering, private pole and network connections, the work most electricians have to sub out. See service mains.

Common questions

Local to Gwandalan

A few questions specific to servicing this lakeside peninsula.

Do you actually service Gwandalan?

Yes, Gwandalan and the surrounding suburbs including Kanwal, Lake Munmorah and Wyee. We service the area, we are not just passing through.

Does the lakeside location affect my electrical?

Yes. Gwandalan sits on the Lake Macquarie foreshore, and the salty, humid air off the water accelerates corrosion in outdoor fittings, power points and switchboards faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on inspections. See electrical repairs.

My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?

Many older Gwandalan homes, especially the fibro and weatherboard cottages from the suburb's holiday-village era, still run old fuse boards without modern safety switches, and adding modern appliances makes it worse. We will check it and let you know exactly what is needed. See switchboard upgrades.
