Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions first, because they are the ones on everyone's mind before they call.
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 Noraville?
It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point is a smaller job than a switchboard upgrade or a service mains repair. 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 discuss the options with you on site, and there is $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 a fixed price agreed upfront. For bigger jobs like a switchboard upgrade or a rewire, ask about our flexible payment options, which let you spread the cost.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
The trust questions, answered directly.
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 network here in Noraville. 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 family safe, not just ticking a compliance box. See our power points 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. Read more on our lifetime labour warranty page.
Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard 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 if you safely can, and call a licensed electrician. See burnt smells and tripped circuit breaker for more.
Common questions
Emergency and Response Times
Speed and availability, without over-promising.
How fast can you get to me in Noraville?
We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Noraville and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. The fastest path is always to call us directly rather than wait on a form.
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, a dead switchboard, call us and we will get someone out. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. See power outages for more on whole-property faults.
Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
The scope questions, so you know exactly what we handle.
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. This matters in Noraville, where many original mid-century homes still run ceramic-fuse boards. See switchboard upgrades.
Can you install extra power points and lighting?
Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting, all handled by our licensed team with a free quote and fixed pricing. See lighting and power points.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the added load, which matters if your home is still on an older single-phase setup. See EV charger installation.
Are you Level 2 ASP accredited?
Yes. We are a Level 2 ASP, accredited to work on the Ausgrid network here, so we handle service mains, metering, private pole and network connections, the work most electricians have to sub out. See service mains.
What if I've received a defect notice from Ausgrid?
That means Ausgrid has flagged non-compliant or unsafe consumer mains, metering, or point of attachment that needs fixing by a Level 2 ASP. We handle defect notice repairs and get you compliant again. See defect notice repairs.
Common questions
Local to Noraville
The local angle, because we actually work these streets.
Do you actually service Noraville?
Yes, Noraville and the surrounding suburbs across the Central Coast, including Toukley, Norah Head, Budgewoi and Buff Point. We are servicing the area, not just passing through.
Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical?
Yes. Salt-laden air off Soldiers Beach and Pelican Beach corrodes outdoor fittings, power points, and switchboards 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 older Noraville homes, especially the original fibro and weatherboard beach cottages, still run ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches. We will check it and let you know exactly what needs doing. See switchboard upgrades.
