Money questions come up first, so here is exactly how our pricing works.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so here is our licence, insurance and standards in plain English.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs, accredited to work on both the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is completed to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000), done properly.

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, not a legal DIY job. It is about keeping your home and family safe, not just following 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 properly, no argument, on everyday repairs and Level 2 jobs alike, every time.

I've received a defect notice from the network, what do I do?

A defect notice from Ausgrid flags unsafe or non-compliant mains or metering that a Level 2 ASP must fix. Call us and we will assess and rectify it to close out the notice. See our defect notice repairs service.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something is genuinely wrong, so here is how fast we move.

How fast can you get to me in Wangi Wangi?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Wangi Wangi and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. Call us directly for the fastest response, and we will tell you honestly if a job needs booking in.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The best way to lock it in is to call, the earlier in the day, the better the odds. A free quote and $0 call-out apply either way, on small repairs and bigger jobs.

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 fast. Do not wait on a sagging service line or a burning smell from the meter box, both Level 2 emergencies.

The whole property has lost power but the street still has power, what's wrong?

That points to a fault in your service mains or point of attachment, not your switchboard, a Level 2 ASP job. Call us straight away, as a dead supply with the street still live needs prompt attention. See our service mains service.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what our most-asked-about jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess your existing board, replace old fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards under AS/NZS 3000, especially common in Wangi Wangi's original fibro and weatherboard cottages carrying added load. See our switchboard upgrades service.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the extra load safely. On older Wangi Wangi homes this can mean a switchboard upgrade first, which we will flag in your free quote. See our EV charger installation service.

What is a Level 2 ASP and what work do you do as one?

A Level 2 ASP is licensed to work on the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, the service mains, metering and network connections most electricians sub out. We are accredited on Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. See our service mains service.

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

Yes. This is common on Wangi Wangi's original 1950s to 1970s cottages, many converted from holiday homes to permanent residences without RCD safety switches. We check the board, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what's needed.

Common questions

Local to Wangi Wangi

A few questions come up specifically because of where Wangi Wangi sits.

Do you actually service Wangi Wangi?

Yes, Wangi Wangi and the surrounding Lake Macquarie suburbs including Arcadia Vale and Toronto. We are servicing the whole local area, not just based nearby, with the same fast response and fixed pricing wherever you are calling from.

Does living on the lake affect my electrical?

Yes. Being ringed by Lake Macquarie, homes on the Wangi Wangi peninsula cop salt-laden air off the water that corrodes outdoor fittings and switchboard components 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?

Much of Wangi Wangi's housing dates from the 1950s to 1980s holiday-village era, so many original ceramic-fuse boards were never upgraded or fitted with safety switches. We will check yours and let you know what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.
