Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

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 Kanwal?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is free and given up front. A power point swap costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade or a rewire. We give you fixed, transparent pricing before any work starts, so there is never an hourly surprise on the bill.

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. Your technician talks through the options on site so there is nothing hidden, and $0 call-out means there is no pressure to say yes on the spot.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment happens once the job is complete, against the fixed price you were quoted upfront. Ask our team about flexible payment options for bigger jobs when you book your quote.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

Here is what stands behind every job we do, so you know you are in safe hands.

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) 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 is not a legal DIY job. It is about your home and your family being safe, not just the rules. See our power points service for what is involved.

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, no argument.

Is it safe to keep using a switchboard that's playing up?

No. A burning smell, a hot switchboard, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the wall if you can do so safely and call a licensed electrician straight away. See our tripped circuit breaker page for more on what causes this.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what our general electrical and Level 2 jobs actually involve.

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 Kanwal, where a lot of 1970s and 1980s homes still run original fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service 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 page.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load safely. See our EV charger installation service page.

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

Yes. This is common in Kanwal, where a lot of original 1970s and 1980s boards still lack modern safety switches. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades page.

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 page.

Common questions

Local to Kanwal

A few things specific to Kanwal homes and streets.

Do you actually service Kanwal?

Yes, Kanwal and the surrounding suburbs, including Gorokan, Lake Haven, Wadalba, Charmhaven and Woongarrah. We are the local electrical team for this part of the Central Coast, not a call centre passing your job elsewhere.

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

Many Kanwal homes were built through the 1970s and 1980s and still carry original ceramic rewireable-fuse switchboards without modern safety switches. As homes add EV chargers, pool pumps and other modern loads, these boards often need upgrading to cope safely. See our switchboard upgrades page.

What should I do if my service line looks damaged after a storm?

If your service line to the house looks sagging, low, or damaged, especially after a summer storm near the Tuggerah Lake foreshore, treat it as urgent and call us straight away. This is Level 2 work on the wiring between the street and your meter. See our storm-damaged mains page.
