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 Cooranbong?
It depends on the job, a power point is a different price to a full switchboard upgrade, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. You will know the fixed price before any work starts, with 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 you have confirmed the work is done to your satisfaction. Ask our team about flexible payment options for larger jobs when you book your free quote.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
Being licensed and doing the job properly matters more than anything else, so here is the detail.
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 keeping your home and family safe, not just the rules. See our power points service for more.
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, for as long as you own the home.
Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard that's playing up?
No. A burning smell from a power point or switchboard, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the switchboard if you safely can, then call a licensed electrician straight away.
Common questions
Emergency and Response Times
Speed matters when something has gone wrong, so here is what to expect.

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, no power to the whole property, 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 some of our bigger 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. It matters locally because plenty of older Cooranbong homes still run original fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Can you install extra power points and lighting?
Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting, all quoted free and upfront. See our lighting service for more on what's involved.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the load, upgrading it first if needed. See our EV charger installation service.
Can you upgrade the supply for a pool pump, spa or home workshop?
Yes. Adding a pool pump, spa or a home workshop often pushes an older single-phase supply past its limit. We check the load and arrange a consumer mains upgrade where needed, including a move to three-phase.
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 poles and network connections, the work most electricians have to sub out. See our service mains page.
Common questions
Local to Cooranbong
A few questions come up specifically because of where Cooranbong sits.
Do you actually service Cooranbong?
Yes, Cooranbong and the surrounding Lake Macquarie area including Morisset, Dora Creek, Martinsville, Eraring and Mandalong. We service the area, we are not just passing through.
My home is an older cottage near the village, is my switchboard up to standard?
Many older cottages around the original village and the Avondale Estate still run ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches. We'll check it and let you know exactly what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Do storms off the Watagans cause electrical problems here?
Yes. Heavy rain and wind through the Dora Creek catchment can bring branches down on overhead lines, sometimes cutting power to a whole property even when the street still has supply. That is Level 2 territory between the network and your meter, and we can fix it.
