Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come up first, so here is exactly how our pricing works before you ever book a job.

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 upfront. Every job gets fixed, transparent pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice when we are done.

How much does an electrician cost in Lake Haven?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point swap costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade. Either way, you get fixed pricing before we start, with $0 call-out and no hourly surprises on the bill.

How does electrical pricing work?

You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you are up for. Your technician talks through the options on site, and nothing changes once the price is agreed. No pressure, no surprises.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, once you can see the work has been done properly. For bigger jobs, ask about our flexible payment options when you get your free quote, so a larger repair does not have to wait.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

Licensing and safety carry the most weight when you are choosing an electrician, so here is what stands behind every job we do.

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 the first time.

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 keeping your home and family safe, not just following the rules. Call us and we will sort your power points properly.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, plus every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no fine print and no expiry date on the labour we complete.

Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard 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 safely can and call a licensed electrician straight away rather than keep using it. See our tripped circuit breaker guide.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something has gone wrong, so here is what to expect on timing.

How fast can you get to me in Lake Haven?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Lake Haven and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time, so call rather than wait.

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 apply whether it is same-day or a booked appointment.

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 our power outages guide for what to check first.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is a plain-English rundown of what our most common 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 in Lake Haven, where a lot of homes still run original 1970s and 80s fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades page.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, indoor and outdoor lighting, and LED upgrades are everyday jobs for us. See our lighting service page for what is involved.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and check your switchboard can handle the added load before we connect it. See our EV charger installation service page.

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

Yes. This is common across Lake Haven, where a lot of the housing stock dates from the 1970s and 80s and still runs on original ceramic fuses without safety switches. We check the switchboard, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing.

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 page.

Do you do commercial electrical work too?

Yes, homes and businesses across Lake Haven and the surrounding suburbs. See our general electrical service page for the full scope of work we cover.

Common questions

Local to Lake Haven

A few questions come up specifically because of where Lake Haven sits and how it was built.

Do you actually service Lake Haven?

Yes, Lake Haven and the surrounding suburbs, including Charmhaven, Gorokan, Kanwal, Wadalba and Woongarrah. We are the local licensed team for the northern Central Coast lakes area, not a call centre routing you elsewhere.

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

Possibly not. Many Lake Haven homes built from the 1970s onward still run original fuse boards without modern safety switches, and renovations or added appliances often push older boards past their limit. We will check it and let you know exactly what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades page.

Does storm season around the lake affect my electrical?

It can. Lake Haven sits low in the Budgewoi Lake catchment, and storms can bring down or damage overhead service lines feeding the property. A sagging or damaged line is urgent and needs a Level 2 ASP, not a general repair. See our sagging service line guide.
