Call to bookWhy everyday electrical faults happen
Most small faults trace back to a worn part or water getting in somewhere.
-
Loose connections
Terminals in power points, switches and fittings loosen as they heat and cool, which shows up as flickering or a warm faceplate.
-
A faulty appliance
A kettle or washer with a leaking element will trip the safety switch, and the wiring is often fine.
-
Water where it should not be
Rain in an outdoor power point or a roof leak over a light trips the safety switch, often only in wet weather.
-
Failed LED drivers
A flickering or dead downlight often means a failed driver in the ceiling, or an old dimmer that does not suit LEDs.
-
Rats and possums in the roof
Chewed cable in the ceiling space causes faults that come and go. They are hard to pin down without testing each circuit.
-
Old DIY work
A previous owner's extra power points, wired with the wrong cable or no earth, can cause odd faults years later.

Everyday electrical jobs we handle
Book one, or save up a list and we will do the lot in one visit.
Fault finding and repairs
Testing circuit by circuit tells us what is tripping or dead, so we fix that part instead of guessing.
Power points and switches
Worn or cracked outlets get replaced. If power boards keep multiplying, we add more power points, including USB ones by the bed.
Lights and downlights
We swap old halogens for LED and fit dimmers that suit LED globes, so the flickering stops. Failed fittings get replaced too.
Safety switch trips
It might be an appliance, water in a fitting or damaged cable. We find which, then test the switch itself.
Oven and cooktop connections
We disconnect the old unit and wire in the new one, after checking the circuit and isolating switch suit it.
Outdoor power and lights
Weatherproof power points for the deck or garage, and sensor lights for the driveway. We also fix fittings that let water in.
How we find and fix a fault
A fault can only be fixed properly once it is found, so most of the work is testing.
-
Tell us what is happening
On the phone we ask when it started, what was running and whether a breaker dropped. That often narrows it down before we arrive.
-
Isolate the circuit
First the circuit is switched off and locked out, and we prove it dead with a tester before opening anything.
-
Test until we find it
Insulation resistance and earth tests show whether the fault is wiring, a fitting or an appliance. Where useful, a thermal camera checks the switchboard.
-
Fixed price, then the repair
You hear what we found and the fixed price before any repair starts. If something else turns up partway, we stop and talk first.
-
Test and hand back
Power stays off until the circuit is retested and the safety switch trip-tested. Then we clean up and, where required, lodge a CCEW.

Photographs of jobs we finished and handed back. Our own work, not stock.

A licensed electrician comes out and looks

-

Written down and explained before anyone starts. Nothing happens until you say yes.
-
The work gets done properly
Done to the Wiring Rules with the right parts. Dust sheets go down wherever we are working.

Signs you need an electrician
Some of these can wait for a convenient time, but a few cannot.
-
My safety switch keeps tripping
An appliance or water is usually leaking current to earth. The switch is protecting you.
-
A power point feels warm or has brown marks Ring now
A connection behind it is overheating. Stop using it, switch it off and call us soon.
-
The lights flicker when the aircon starts
It can be a loose connection or a circuit near its limit. Have it checked early.
-
Plugs fall out of the wall
The contacts inside are worn. Loose plugs arc, so replace the outlet before it scorches.
-
I got a tingle off a tap or appliance Ring now
Any shock means something is live that should not be. Stop using it and ring now.
-
Half the house has no power
Check the board for a tripped breaker. If none has, there is a fault to find.
-
A switch or dimmer buzzes
Usually the dimmer does not suit the LEDs. If it is warm as well, ring us.
-
Burning plastic smell near an outlet Ring now
Switch that circuit off at the board if it is safe, then ring us now.
Ring now about any marked urgent, day or night. The rest can wait for a booking that suits you.

Finding an electrician in Sydney who turns up
The hardest part of getting electrical work done in Sydney is not the work. It is finding someone who shows up when they said they would, tells you the price before they start, and does not leave you chasing them for a certificate afterwards.
Sydney is inside our normal run, as are Sydenham, Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park. We quote the whole job as one number before we start, and we do not charge to come and look at it.
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.
A lot of the calls we get from Sydney start the same way: the board trips, someone resets it, and a week later it trips again. That pattern usually means a fault worth finding properly.
What usually causes it around Sydney
Most of what we find comes down to load. The house is doing far more electrically than it was built to do, and the weakest joint in the chain is where it shows up first.
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 general electrician 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
An hourly rate puts the risk on you. Every delay, every trip back to the van, every part that turns out to be the wrong one lands on your invoice. That is the opposite of what most people in Sydney actually want, which is to know the number before they say yes.
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.
Before you call, switch off the appliance you suspect and see whether the problem goes away. If the board holds with that one thing unplugged, you have found it, and the visit gets much shorter.
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.
Questions about general electrical work
The ones we get asked most. If yours is not here, ring and ask.
Yes. Send us the list when you book. On the day we look at everything and give you one fixed price for the lot before we start.
Yes, and in NSW it is the only legal option. Apart from changing a light globe, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, and DIY outlet swaps are a common cause of later faults. A single power point is a normal job for us.
Mostly access and what is behind the wall. A power point on plasterboard with roof space above is simpler than one on double brick under a slab. Whether it needs a new circuit also matters, and you get the fixed price before we start.
You can narrow it down. Unplug everything on that circuit, reset the switch and plug things back in one by one, and if it trips on one appliance, that is your likely culprit. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the wiring or a fitting and needs us.
Yes, where it is wiring work. In NSW a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is required for wiring work, including like-for-like replacements. We lodge it with Building Commission NSW and you get a copy to keep for insurance or a sale.
Yes. Check it carries the RCM mark, which means it is approved for sale in Australia, and that it suits the spot, for example an IC-4 rated downlight under insulation. We can also supply them.
Tell your landlord or agent first, because repairs are their responsibility and NSW tenancy law treats any electrical fault as an urgent repair. If you cannot reach them, NSW Fair Trading explains when a tenant can arrange the repair and be reimbursed.
Yes. Our workmanship carries a lifetime labour warranty for as long as you own the property, whether the job was one switch or a whole house. That sits on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law and the NSW Home Building Act.
