FAQs

Questions about electrical work

Can’t see your question? Talk it through with a local electrician.

0450 406 450
How much does an electrician cost in Newcastle?

Every job is different, so it's priced once the problem has been looked at, and you get that price in writing before work starts. Small repairs and single fittings are usually quick jobs, while bigger work such as a switchboard upgrade is quoted in full upfront.

Can you come out today?

Often, yes. Same-day bookings are available for repairs and small jobs across Newcastle, depending on the day's schedule. Anything unsafe goes straight to the 24/7 line.

Will you take on a small job, like one power point?

Yes. One power point, one light or one ceiling fan is worth a call. Got a few small jobs? List them when you book and they'll be done in the same visit.

What should I check when comparing electricians in Newcastle?

Four things: a current NSW contractor licence (you can check the number on the NSW Government's online licence check), insurance, a written price before work starts, and a compliance certificate for installation work. It's also worth asking who will actually turn up.

Will I get a compliance certificate for the work?

Yes. For electrical installation work in NSW, the licensed electrician must complete a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). You get a copy for your records, your insurer or your property manager.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, plus Maitland, Port Stephens and Singleton. If you're just outside those areas, ring and ask.
