A note from the crew

Most people ring an electrician after something has gone wrong. The lights are out, a breaker will not reset, or the insurer wants the old fuse box gone.

So we answer the phone at any hour, come out and look for free, and give you one price before we start. That price is what goes on the invoice. When the job is done we test it, walk you through it, and guarantee the labour for as long as you own the place.

  4. Tells you what they found in plain English, with the options laid out.
  5. Tests everything before leaving, and leaves the place as tidy as they found it.
  6. Stands behind the work for as long as you own the property.

What to expect when you book us

A dead power point and a full rewire run through the same seven steps.

  1. A person answers the phone

    Day or night. Tell us what is happening. If it sounds dangerous, we tell you what to switch off while we get moving.

  2. We book a time that works

    Urgent faults go to the next available electrician. Planned work gets a set day so you are not waiting around.

  3. A licensed electrician comes out and looks

    We work out what is actually wrong on site rather than guessing over the phone. The visit costs you nothing.

  4. You get one fixed price

    Written down and explained before anyone starts. Nothing happens until you say yes.

  5. The work gets done properly

    Done to the Wiring Rules with the right parts. Dust sheets go down wherever we are working.

  6. We test it and show you

    Every circuit we touch is tested before we leave. Where the law requires a compliance certificate, you get one.

  7. You pay the price you agreed

    The quote is the invoice. Our labour stays guaranteed for as long as you own the property.

Areas we serve

We take electrical and data work right across Sydney, up the Central Coast and into the Blue Mountains. Open your area to find your suburb.

All 476 suburbs
Inner west and city fringe Federation houses and terraces, a lot of them still on original wiring.
Eastern suburbs Older unit blocks and big renovation budgets, often in the same street.
Lower north shore and northern beaches Period homes, strata buildings and salt air that is hard on outdoor fittings.
Upper north shore Large older homes where the switchboard has usually been patched, not replaced.
Parramatta, Ryde and the central west Dense and mixed, from post war cottages to new apartment towers.
South west Close to home for us. Brick veneer homes and a lot of new estates.
St George and the Sutherland Shire Post war brick homes, many still running ageing boards.
The Hills and western Sydney Growth corridors, new builds and plenty of renovation work.
Central Coast Coastal homes where salt and storms take a toll on wiring and fittings.
Blue Mountains Storm damage, older cottages and cold snaps that find weak circuits.

Finding an electrician in Sydney who turns up

Most people in Sydney do not go looking for an electrician until something has already stopped working. The light in the hallway starts flickering, the board trips every time the kettle goes on, or there is a smell near a power point that was not there yesterday. By that point you are not comparing five quotes, you want someone who answers the phone and can tell you what is actually wrong.

We work across Sydney and the suburbs around it, including Sydenham, Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park. The price is agreed before anything starts, coming out to look costs nothing, and the labour is guaranteed for as long as you own the place.

What makes Sydney different to work in

Sydney has the mix you find across a lot of Sydney: older homes still running the board they were built with, sitting next to places that have been renovated two or three times. Both throw up their own problems, and both are jobs we do every week.

Older wiring around Sydney was never designed for the load a modern kitchen puts on it. Add an induction cooktop or a second fridge and the weak point shows up quickly.

What usually causes it around Sydney

Age is the biggest single factor. Wiring installed decades ago was sized for a very different household, and insulation on older cable gets brittle and cracks, particularly in roof spaces that heat up through summer.

Storms take a toll, especially on anything overhead. A surge through the supply can quietly damage a board or an appliance and the symptoms show up weeks later.

What electrical work costs in Sydney

The real answer is that it depends on the condition of what is already there. That is not a dodge, it is why we come and look before quoting rather than pricing blind over the phone.

What we can promise is the shape of it. We come out and look for nothing, we work out what the job actually needs, and we give you one fixed number for the whole thing. If we find something unexpected once we are into it, we stop and talk to you rather than adding it to the bill. The number you agreed is the number on the invoice.

How we work compared to an hourly rate

The usual model in this trade is a call out fee plus an hourly rate plus parts. You find out the total when it is finished. We think that is backwards, so we quote the job instead of the clock.

We price the job, not the time. That means we carry the risk of it taking longer, which is a good incentive for us to turn up prepared. It also means you can say yes or no with the full number in front of you.

What you can safely do yourself

Almost nothing, and that is not us protecting our own work. In New South Wales it is against the law for an unlicensed person to do fixed electrical wiring, and the insurance consequences of a fire traced back to unlicensed work are severe. Replacing a plug top on an appliance or changing a lamp is fine. Anything behind the wall or inside the board is not.

What you can usefully do is narrow it down before you ring. Note which circuit trips, whether it trips straight away or after something specific gets switched on, and whether it started after a storm or a new appliance. That saves time on site.

Renting in Sydney, or managing a building?

If you rent, electrical repairs to the property itself are the owner's responsibility, and urgent electrical faults fall under urgent repairs in New South Wales. Talk to your agent first. If it is genuinely dangerous, say so clearly, because that changes how quickly it has to be dealt with.

If you manage a strata block around Sydney, we can work on common property and bill the body corporate directly, and we can keep the same electrician on your building so nobody is relearning the site every visit.

The things people ask us first

If yours is not here, ring and ask. You will get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
