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 upfront. Every job gets fixed, transparent pricing before work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How much does an electrician cost?

It depends on the job, from a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. We confirm fixed pricing before work starts, so no hourly surprises on the bill.

How does electrical pricing work?

You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start, so you know what you are up for. Options are discussed on site, with $0 call-out and no pressure to proceed, on simple repairs or Level 2 jobs.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion once the job is done and you are happy with it. We confirm fixed pricing upfront in your free quote, so there are no surprises when the invoice lands.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so here is our licence, insurance and standards in plain English.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs, accredited to work on both the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is completed to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000), done properly.

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, not a legal DIY job. It is about keeping your home and family safe, not just following the rules. See our power points service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it properly, no argument, on everyday repairs and Level 2 jobs alike, every time.

Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard 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 or the board and call a licensed electrician straight away. See our tripped circuit breaker issue page.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something is genuinely wrong, so here is how fast we move.

How fast can you get to me?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. Call us directly for the fastest response, and we will tell you honestly if a job needs booking in.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The best way to lock it in is to call, the earlier in the day, the better the odds. A free quote and $0 call-out apply either way, on small repairs and bigger jobs.

Do you do emergency electrical work?

Yes. For urgent, unsafe faults, burning smells, sparks, or a dead switchboard, call us and we will get someone out fast. Do not wait on a sagging service line or a burning smell from the meter box, both Level 2 emergencies.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what our most-asked-about jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess your existing board, replace old fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards under AS/NZS 3000, especially useful in Adamstown's older homes still running ceramic fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, and indoor and outdoor lighting are everyday work for us. See our lighting service.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the extra load safely, flagging any switchboard work upfront in your free quote. See our EV charger installation service.

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 our service mains service.

Common questions

Local to Adamstown

A few questions come up specifically because of where Adamstown sits.

Do you actually service Adamstown?

Yes, Adamstown and the surrounding inner Newcastle suburbs including New Lambton, Kotara, Broadmeadow, Hamilton and The Junction. We are servicing the whole local area, not just based nearby, with the same fast response and fixed pricing wherever you are calling from.

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

Many local pre-war and mid-century cottages still run original ceramic fuse boards without modern safety switches. We will check yours and let you know what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.

I'm renovating an older home, will the wiring need work?

Often, yes. Renovations on older timber and fibro homes in the area commonly turn up perished rubber or early wiring that needs replacing to meet current standards. We can assess it as part of your quote. See our house rewiring service.
