Why use a Licensed Electrical Contractor?

Licensed Electrical Contractors in NSW:

  • Carry insurances to protect against accidental property damage, injury and death
  • Must offer Warranty
  • Often have a reputation to maintain
  • Are regulated by the Department of Fair Trading, providing you with protection against:
    • Faulty or non-compliant workmanship
    • Contractual and/or payment disputes

Use of a Licensed Electrical Contractor:

  • Will not void Manufacturer’s Warranties (while manufacturer’s instructions are followed)

“In the event of a fire or accident which is attributed to electrical work completed by someone other than a Licensed Electrical Contractor, your home and contents and/or property insurance may be void.”

If your “electrician” does not hold an Electrical Contractors Licence:

  • They are not insured against the risk of damage, injury or death
  • They cannot issue a valid Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work
  • They do not submit their work for inspection
  • In the event of a fire or accident, their work may void your property insurance
  • Manufacturer’s warranties are void for all electrical items they install
  • If they damage your property or their work is faulty, they may disappear (fly by night)
  • They may not have a reputation to maintain which may be reflected in their workmanship
  • They may not be aware of current Australian Standards, Local Rules or Safe Practices

How long will it take to fix my electrical issues?

Typically, electrical issues can be resolved within an hour or so. But it will obviously depend on the type of problem. A whole house electrical upgrade is certainly not going to be done in an hour, day, sometimes not even a week! The electrician will first have to diagnose the issue and then apply a fix. If the issue is not simple, they may have to return at a different date for an installation or full service repair.

Questions to ask when selecting your next electrician

  1. Can I please see your Electrical Contractors Licence?
  2. Can I please see your Public Liability Insurance certificate of currency?
  3. Are you a member of Master Electricians Australia?
  4. Do you carry a copy of the Australian Wiring Rules for easy reference?
  5. Do you offer a lifetime warranty on your workmanship?
  6. Do you install materials so as to maintain manufacturer’s warranties?
  7. Can you give me a fixed price quotation for my job?
  8. Will you complete the work “in-house” or do you use sub-contractors?
  9. Will you contact me if you are running late?
  10. Do you use reputable brands such as Clipsal, Hagar, HPM or NHP?
  11. How well do you clean up after yourself?
  12. Will you provide me with a CCEW on completion (Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work)?

What your electrician must be able to show you in order to confirm his expertise?

  1. Company Electrical Contractors Licence
  2. Individual Electrical Supervisors Certificate
  3. Company Public Liability Insurance certificate of currency
  4. A copy of AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installations (known as the Australian New Zealand Wiring Rules)
  5. Many genuine 4 and 5-Star customer reviews
  6. Photographs of previous projects

The typical hourly rate for electricians will be in the region of $70 – $120 per hour.  Expect the hourly rate to increase for densely populated urban areas in contrast to other regions. There will also be a callout fee that can range from $60 – $100. This callout fee will be increased if it is an after-hours emergency callout. These costs are not inclusive of the cost of materials. Clarify the billing process before you hire an electrician. Some charge fixed rates for certain jobs, others charge hourly rates. Fixed rates offer you increased peace of mind.

Most simple electrical jobs will cost around $150 – $250 in total. They will take less than an hour to complete. For larger tasks, then it’s best to take account of some of the typical average costs:

  • Switchboard Installation/upgrade – $500 to $1,800.
  • Solar panel installation – $5,000 for a 5kW system.
  • Home rewiring – $5,000 to $7,500 for a 3 bedroom house.
  • Test and Tag – $150 with a $4 tag for additional outlets.

When estimating an electrical job, you will need to ask the contractor for their callout fee and their hourly rate, first and foremost. Then, you will ask them for quotes on a given job, including materials. This is the best way to arrive at an accurate figure while removing all ambiguity. Don’t leave anything to chance.

Where possible, prefer electricians that give you an honest fixed rate instead of a callout fee and hourly rate. It makes the entire quotation process a lot easier for both parties.

The most common electrical problems in residential areas include:

  1. Electrical surges
  2. Lags in power
  3. Light switches not working
  4. Circuit breaker tripping repeatedly
  5. Circuit overload
  6. Electric shocks
  7. Dim lights

If you are experiencing any of the above, just give us a call. And if your electricity bill is too high, we can investigate whether anything is amiss. Your home might need a few tweaks for maximum efficiency.
