Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions first, because they're the most common thing homeowners want sorted before they call.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We offer $0 call-out fees and free quotes, so you can get us out to Bateau Bay 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.

How much does an electrician cost in Bateau Bay?

It depends on the job, a power point is a different price to a switchboard upgrade or a Level 2 service mains repair. That's why every quote is free and given upfront. You'll get fixed pricing before we start, with 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're paying for. We talk through the options with you on site, and $0 call-out means there's no cost just to find out.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the job, at the fixed price confirmed on your quote. If a bigger job needs it, ask our team about flexible payment options when you get your quote.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust group, licence, insurance, and doing the job properly.

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 your home and family being safe, not just the rules. See our power points service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by our lifetime labour warranty. If something isn't right, we come back and fix it, no arguments.

Is it safe to keep using a power point that's playing up?

No, treat it as a warning sign. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a switch that keeps tripping means something's wrong behind the wall. Switch it off and call a licensed electrician. See our burnt outlet issue page.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here's what the bigger jobs actually involve, and where to read more.

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 the current Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000). It matters in older Bateau Bay homes still running 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 done to standard. See our lighting service.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load. See our EV charger installation service.

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

Yes. It's common in homes from Bateau Bay's 1960s-1980s build-out, where original ceramic-fuse boards often lack modern safety switches. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing.

Are you Level 2 ASP accredited?

Yes. We're 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.

Do you do commercial electrical work too?

Yes, homes and businesses across Bateau Bay. See our general electrical service.

Common questions

Local to Bateau Bay

A couple of questions specific to our patch of the Central Coast.

Do you actually service Bateau Bay?

Yes, Bateau Bay and the surrounding Central Coast suburbs including Long Jetty and Killarney Vale. We're a local, family-run team, not a call centre dispatching from somewhere else.

Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical near Bateau Bay Beach?

Yes. Salt-laden air near Bateau Bay Beach and Crackneck Point corrodes outdoor points, fittings 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 homes from Bateau Bay's original 1960s-1980s wave still run old fuse boards without modern safety switches, and added EV charger load makes it worse. We'll check it and let you know plainly. See our switchboard upgrades service.
