FAQs

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
& WE HAVE ANSWERS.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from Sydney homeowners and businesses. View all FAQs →

Do I really need a licensed electrician, or can I do minor electrical work myself? add
Australian law is very clear: all electrical work beyond changing light globes or resetting safety switches must be performed by a licensed electrician. This isn't industry protectionism, it's life-safety legislation. DIY electrical work causes deaths, house fires, and serious injuries every year. It also voids your home insurance, creates problems when selling your property, and can result in significant fines. Always use a licensed electrician.
How do I know if an electrician is properly licensed? add
Every licensed electrician in NSW must hold a current licence issued by NSW Fair Trading. Ask to see their licence card before work begins, and verify the licence number on the Fair Trading website. Licensed electricians also carry public liability insurance and provide Certificates of Compliance for work completed. Our team members carry photo ID, display licence numbers on quotes, and happily provide verification when requested.
Can you come out just to give me a quote, or do I have to pay a callout fee? add
We don't charge callout fees for providing quotes on planned electrical work. If your project requires a site visit to assess properly (like switchboard upgrades or complex installations), we'll attend and provide a detailed written quote at no cost. For emergency callouts where the fault needs diagnosis before we can quote, there is a service call fee — but this is explained upfront when you book.
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected? add
Electrical inspections aren't legally required for existing homes unless you're selling or have experienced specific issues, but they're strongly recommended every 10 years as preventative maintenance. You should definitely arrange one if your property is over 25 years old, you're buying an older home, you've noticed flickering lights or frequent breaker trips, or your insurance company requests it.
