Your Questions, Answered

Genuine emergencies jump the queue and get a call back straight away. For everything else, it's often same or next day, and a licensed electrician will run through the details with you before the van even leaves.

We do. Saturdays and Sundays get booked in the same way weekdays do, with a proper time slot instead of a vague half-day window. A weekend fault still counts as urgent if it's a safety issue, so it won't sit until Monday.

Ring (02) 9538 7356 and a real person answers the phone, not a call centre. Once we know what's going on, we lock in a slot and text a reminder the day before, so the van showing up isn't a surprise.

Think sparking points, a switchboard hot to touch, burning smells, or the power dropping out for no clear reason. If the whole street is dark, that's a network issue and outside our control. Anything from your switchboard inward, though, is ours to fix, any hour of the day.

Nothing changes hands until the job's finished and signed off. The price we quote is the price you pay, with nothing tacked onto the invoice for materials once you've said yes.

Rarely, and only when something genuinely unexpected turns up once the switchboard's open, like wiring that's no longer up to standard. When that happens we down tools, explain the finding, and get your go-ahead before doing anything extra.

One of us comes to the property, sizes up the job and hands you a written figure on the spot, before any work begins, at no charge and no call-out fee. That figure covers labour, materials, testing and paperwork, so nothing shows up later that wasn't in the quote.

Yes. You don't pay a cent for us to come and size up the work, decide against it, or take a day to think it over. You only owe us once a price is agreed and the work is underway.

Pymble's part of our normal week, not an occasional detour. Switchboards, lighting and rewires take us across the suburb and into the Ku-ring-gai suburbs nearby often enough that the streets and the housing here are second nature.

Both, regularly. A good share of Pymble's Federation-era stock carries heritage listings, and we work inside those limits without shortcutting safety. Strata buildings closer to the station get the same straightforward pricing and paperwork handled for the owners corporation.

We do. The mix runs from pre-1940 Federation homes on generous blocks through to 1960s-1980s builds, with newer units clustered near the station and the Pacific Highway. More than seven in ten homes here are still standalone houses, and the wiring in each generation is different.

Plenty of the older properties here still run on ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, a Federation and mid-century habit that's stuck around. Those old fuse boards weren't built to carry safety switches, an EV charger or a pool pump. Bringing the board up to date is what makes the rest of the upgrade possible.

It's the technical rulebook covering how wiring, earthing and safety switches all need to be installed and tested. Every job we do, big or small, is carried out to that standard.

Yes on both counts. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C and Master Electricians Australia membership cover the licensing side, and we're fully insured for every job we take on. Ask and we'll show you the details on site.

No. DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW beyond a handful of very minor exceptions. Anything notifiable gets a Certificate of Compliance once it's tested, lodged with NSW Fair Trading as the record it was done right.

It's proof that notifiable work was tested and signed off to AS/NZS 3000, lodged with NSW Fair Trading once we're done. Yes, you get a copy, worth keeping with the paperwork for the house.
