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 Erina?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade. Either way, you get fixed, transparent pricing before we start, with no hourly surprises.

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. We talk through the options with you 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 upfront. There are no hidden instalments or surprise add-ons. Ask us about flexible payment options for larger jobs when you book your quote.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so we will be direct about our credentials.

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 accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000).

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 keeping your home and your family safe, not just following the rules. See our power points service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. Every job is fully licensed and insured, plus backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no arguments and no expiry date on the promise.

Is it safe to keep using an outlet that keeps tripping the breaker?

No, treat it as a warning sign. A power point that trips repeatedly, feels warm, or smells burnt should be switched off at the wall and left alone until a licensed electrician checks it. See our tripped circuit breaker issue page for what to do next.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something electrical is going wrong, so here is what to expect.

How fast can you get to me in Erina?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Erina and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. Call us and we will give you a straight answer on timing.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The earlier in the day you call, the better the odds of getting seen that same day. Free quote and $0 call-out either way.

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. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. See our power outages issue page.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is a plain-English rundown of what our bigger jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess your existing board, replace old ceramic fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring the whole board up to current standards under AS/NZS 3000. This matters most in older Erina homes with original fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

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

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and check your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load before we start, which matters if your board is older. See our EV charger installation service.

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

Yes. This is common work for us in Erina, where many homes from the 1960s to 1980s still run original fuse boards. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades 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 Erina

A couple of questions specific to Erina and the surrounding area.

Do you actually service Erina?

Yes, Erina and the surrounding Central Coast suburbs including Terrigal, Gosford, Green Point, Avoca Beach, Wamberal and Kincumber. We are servicing the area, not just passing through.

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

Possibly not. Many older Erina homes near Erina Fair and along streets like Barralong Road still run original ceramic fuse boards without modern RCD safety switches. We will check it on site and let you know plainly what, if anything, needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades service.

What should I do if I've received a defect notice from Ausgrid?

Call us. A defect notice means the network has flagged non-compliant consumer mains, metering, or a point of attachment that a Level 2 ASP must fix. See our defect notice repairs service.

Can you help if my home has no power but the street still has it?

Yes. That usually points to a fault in the service mains or connection point, not your switchboard, and it is a Level 2 job. See our no power to whole property issue page.
