Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come first, because that is what most homeowners want sorted 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 Shelly Beach?

It depends on the job, a power point is a different price to a switchboard upgrade, which is why every quote is free and given upfront. We price the work clearly before we start, so you always know the number before you commit.

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 talk through the options with you 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 work, once you have seen the job done and are happy with it. Your fixed price is confirmed at quote stage, so there is nothing to guess about on the day.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so here is exactly what stands behind our work.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs. Level 2 ASP accreditation 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.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no argument.

Is it safe to keep using an outlet or switchboard that's playing up?

No, treat it as a warning sign, not a nuisance. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping means switch it off and call a licensed electrician. See burnt outlet or tripped circuit breaker.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters most when something has already gone wrong, so here is what to expect.

How fast can you get to me in Shelly Beach?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Shelly Beach and turn up fast, same-day where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time, call (02) 4089 4284 and we will talk it through.

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 day. Free quote and $0 call-out either way.

Do you do emergency electrical work?

Yes. For urgent, unsafe faults, burning smells, sparks, or a dead switchboard, call us and we will get someone out. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. See power outages or burnt smells.

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 under AS/NZS 3000. This matters locally where many older cottages 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 done by our licensed team. 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 extra load before we connect it. See EV charger installation.

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

Yes. Common for the original 1960s and 1970s cottages around Shelly Beach with ageing boards. 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. See service mains.

Do you do commercial electrical work too?

Yes, we work on homes and businesses across the region. See general electrical for the full scope of what we cover.

Common questions

Local to Shelly Beach

A couple of questions specific to living right on this stretch of coast.

Do you actually service Shelly Beach?

Yes, Shelly Beach and the surrounding Central Coast suburbs, including Long Jetty, Bateau Bay, Killarney Vale and The Entrance. We are servicing the area, not based out of it, so response times stay fast.

Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical?

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

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

Many original Shelly Beach cottages still run old ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches, and renovations often push them past their limit. We will check it and let you know. See switchboard upgrades.
