Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions come up before anything else, so here is exactly how our pricing works.
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 Ettalong Beach?
It depends on the job, a power point is a different job to a full switchboard upgrade, which is why the quote is free and given upfront. We assess the work and give you fixed pricing before anything starts, no hourly surprises.
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 no pressure to say yes on the spot.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is due on completion of the job, once you have already agreed to the fixed price we quoted upfront. There are no hidden progress charges or surprise add-ons. Ask about flexible payment options on bigger jobs when you book your quote.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
This is the trust section, licensing, insurance, and doing the job properly.
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 general electrical service for what is involved.
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, for as long as you own the home, no fine print and no expiry date.
Is it safe to keep using an outlet that's playing up?
No. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the switchboard if you can do so safely and call a licensed electrician. See our burnt outlet issue page for what to look for.

Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
This is the scope section, 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 (AS/NZS 3000). Common work here, plenty of Ettalong Beach fibro shacks still run original ceramic 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, we handle it all. See our lighting service for the full range of what we install and upgrade.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the load before we connect it. See our EV charger installation service for how we assess your supply first.
Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?
Yes. Common on the older fibro and weatherboard homes around Ocean View Road and Picnic Parade. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades service.
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.
Common questions
Local to Ettalong Beach
A couple of questions specific to the peninsula and its coastal conditions.
Do you actually service Ettalong Beach?
Yes, Ettalong Beach and the surrounding suburbs across the Woy Woy Peninsula, including Umina Beach, Booker Bay and Woy Woy. We are the local team here, not a call centre routing you to whoever is free.
Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical?
Yes. Salt air off Ettalong Beach and Brisbane Water 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 our electrical repairs service.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Many older homes on the peninsula, especially 1940s-60s fibro shacks, still run old ceramic fuse boards without modern safety switches. Add a retiree now living there year-round with modern appliance loads, and it is often overdue. We will check it and let you know. See our switchboard upgrades service.
