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 Point Clare?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point is a different job to a full switchboard upgrade. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts, with no hourly guesswork and no shock on the bill.

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, with $0 call-out and no pressure to say yes on the spot.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, once you have already agreed to the fixed price we quoted. For bigger jobs, ask about our flexible payment options that let you spread the cost.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

Being licensed and insured is the foundation of every job we do, so here is what that actually covers.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs. Level 2 ASP accredited means we are also accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks. 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 following the rules. See our general electrical 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 straight away. See our burnt outlet issue page for more.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what a few of our most common jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess the existing board, replace old ceramic fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards under AS/NZS 3000. Many established Point Clare homes still run original mid-century boards, so this is common work here. See switchboard upgrades.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting are all part of our everyday work. See our lighting service.

Do you install EV chargers?

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

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

Yes. This is common in Point Clare's established brick and weatherboard homes from the 1940s through to the 1980s, many of which still lack safety switches on every circuit. We check the switchboard, 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 Point Clare

Point Clare has its own mix of housing and weather, and it shapes the jobs we see most.

Do you actually service Point Clare?

Yes, Point Clare and the surrounding Central Coast suburbs including Gosford and Point Frederick. We are a local team, not a call centre dispatching whoever is free.

Does the coastal weather around Brisbane Water affect my electrical?

Yes. Homes fronting Brisbane Water and the foreshore reserves cop salt-laden air that corrodes switchboards and outdoor fittings faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on every inspection. See electrical repairs.

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

Many established Point Clare homes from the postwar and 1970s-80s eras still run original ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches. Renovations and added appliances often push these boards past their limit. We will check it and let you know exactly what is needed. See switchboard upgrades.
