Electrician FAQs for Annandale

No. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless something genuinely unforeseen turns up, and even then we stop and talk it through before continuing.

Yes, an on-site quote costs nothing, whether or not you go ahead with the work afterward. We'd rather you had the real number in hand before deciding.

Not for quoting, no. You only pay for the work itself, once you've agreed to the written price we've given you.

Payment is settled once the job's finished and you've seen it done, using whatever method suits you at the time. Nothing's taken upfront beyond what the written quote covers.

No, not beyond very minor exceptions like replacing a light globe. Electrical work in NSW is licensed work by law, and doing it yourself risks both your safety and the property's compliance record.

Yes. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, Master Electricians Australia membership, and we're fully insured. Look the licence number up on the NSW Fair Trading register yourself if you want to confirm it.

An RCD compares the current flowing out with the current coming back, and cuts the power the instant those two stop matching. The rules now want a safety switch on every circuit, and plenty of Annandale's unrenovated heritage homes still have none fitted.

It's the official record proving notifiable electrical work meets the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, lodged with NSW Fair Trading once the job's tested. You get one automatically on any job that requires it, no extra charge.

Sparks, a burning smell, a dead board with no clear cause, or anything showing heat or scorching near a switch or point. If you're unsure whether it qualifies, call and describe it, and we'll tell you plainly what it means.

Annandale in full, plus the surrounding Inner West patch: Leichhardt, Lilyfield, Stanmore, Rozelle, Camperdown and Balmain. If you're near any of those, we're likely already working streets close to you.

Yes. Renovation work makes up a big part of what we do in Annandale's terraces and cottages, and any new-build wiring we install gets exactly the same AS/NZS 3000 standard applied.

Regularly. Annandale's heritage conservation controls limit what can change on a protected facade, and the suburb's mix of converted terraces and strata units both come with their own coordination quirks we're used to.

We work in it every week, from Victorian cottages to Federation terraces and the witches' hat villas along Johnston Street, so we generally know what's likely behind the wall before we ever open it up.
