Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions come up first, 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 upfront. Every job gets fixed, transparent pricing before work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
How much does an electrician cost in Fletcher?
It depends on the job, from a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. We confirm fixed pricing before work starts, so no hourly surprises on the bill.
How does electrical pricing work?
You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start, so you know what you are up for. Options are discussed on site, with $0 call-out and no pressure to proceed, on simple repairs or Level 2 jobs.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is on completion once the job is done and you are happy with it. Your free quote sets the fixed price upfront, so there is no surprise invoice waiting at the end, on small repairs or bigger Level 2 work.
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.
Is it safe to keep using a power point that's playing up?
No. A hot power point, a burning smell, or a switch that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the wall and call a licensed electrician rather than keep using it. See our burnt outlet issue page.
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 Fletcher?
We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Fletcher 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.
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 where a home is adding an EV charger, pool pump or extra circuits. 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 a fixed, upfront quote. See our lighting 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 boards 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 on a newer estate home?
Yes. Many Fletcher homes were built through the late 1990s estate boom and are now old enough that owners are adding solar, EV charging or a pool pump, and the original board needs a capacity check. We check it and give you a clear picture. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Common questions
Local to Fletcher
A few questions come up specifically because of where Fletcher sits.
Do you actually service Fletcher?
Yes, Fletcher and the surrounding Newcastle suburbs including Maryland, Wallsend and Cameron Park. We also cover Minmi and Birmingham Gardens nearby. We are servicing the whole local area, not just based nearby, with the same fast response and fixed pricing wherever you are calling from.
My home's newer, why would the switchboard need upgrading?
Fletcher's estate homes are mostly brick-veneer builds from the late 1990s onward, and the original switchboards were not sized for today's load of solar, EV charging, pool pumps and home workshops. We will check yours and let you know what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.
