Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

The money questions come up first, so here they are answered straight.

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 Booker Bay?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is free and given up front. A power point repair costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade or a Level 2 service main job. We always give you fixed, upfront pricing before we touch anything, so there is no hourly guesswork.

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 decide on the spot.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, once the work is finished and you are happy with it. If you have a bigger job coming up, ask about our flexible payment options when we quote it.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

Here is what backs every job we do, before we even discuss the work itself.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs. Level 2 ASP accredited means we're accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. 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's not a legal DIY job. It's about your home and your family being safe, not just the rules.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Fully licensed and insured, plus a lifetime labour warranty on every job. If something isn't right, we come back and fix it, no argument.

Is it safe to keep using an outlet 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 rather than keep using it.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

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

How fast can you get to me in Booker Bay?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Booker Bay and the Woy Woy Peninsula, and we turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time.

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 such as burning smells, sparks, or a dead switchboard, call us and we'll get someone out. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous.

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 the existing board, replace old fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards (AS/NZS 3000). Many original Booker Bay cottages still run old ceramic-fuse boards without this protection. See our switchboard upgrades page.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting, all handled by our licensed team. See our lighting service.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the added load before we connect it. See our EV charger installation page.

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

Yes. This is common in Booker Bay, where many un-renovated homes were wired before safety switches were standard. We check the switchboard, safety switches, 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.

Local to Booker Bay

A few questions specific to Booker Bay and life on Brisbane Water.

Do you actually service Booker Bay?

Yes, Booker Bay and the surrounding Woy Woy Peninsula, including Ettalong Beach, Woy Woy and Umina Beach. We're servicing the whole peninsula, not just passing through.

Does the salt air off Brisbane Water affect my electrical?

Yes. Direct frontage to Brisbane Water means salt-laden air corrodes switchboards, outdoor points and fittings faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to coastal conditions and check for corrosion on inspections. See electrical repairs.

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

Many of Booker Bay's original mid-century fibro and weatherboard cottages still run old ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches, and renovations or rebuilds often push the load past what the old board can handle. We'll check it and let you know. See switchboard upgrades.
