Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions come up before every job, so here they are answered straight.
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 up front. Every job gets fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice when the job is done.
How much does an electrician cost in Springfield?
It depends on the job, which is why the quote is free and given upfront. A power point swap costs less than a full switchboard upgrade, and every price is fixed before we start. No hourly guesswork, just a clear number you agree to first.
How does electrical pricing work?
You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you're up for. Your technician will talk through the options on site if there's more than one way to do the job, with $0 call-out and no pressure either way.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is due on completion once the job is finished and you're happy with the work. We confirm the fixed price before starting, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Ask our team about payment options when you book your free quote.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
This is the trust section, so we've kept the answers direct.
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 also accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks. 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 keeping your home and your family safe, not just following the rules. Our general electrical service covers this.
Is your work insured and guaranteed?
Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something isn't right after we've left, tell us and we'll come back and fix it, no arguments and no fine print.
Is it safe to keep using a switchboard that's playing up?
No. A burning smell, a hot switchboard, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance, especially in Springfield's older brick-veneer homes still running ceramic-fuse boards. Switch it off at the wall if you safely can and call a licensed electrician straight away. Learn more about a tripped circuit breaker.
Common questions
Emergency and Response Times
Speed matters when the power's out, so here's what to expect.
How fast can you get to me in Springfield?
We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Springfield and the region, and we turn up fast, same-day where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time, so call (02) 4089 4284 rather than wait online.
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 someone out to you today. It's still $0 call-out and a free quote either way.
Do you do emergency electrical work?
Yes. For urgent, unsafe faults like burning smells, sparks, or a dead switchboard, call us and we'll get someone out. Don't wait on something that could be dangerous, especially no power to the whole property, which can point to a Level 2 issue.
Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
Here's the plain-English rundown of what the bigger jobs actually involve.
What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?
We assess the existing board, replace old ceramic fuses with modern safety switches (RCDs), and bring it up to current standards (AS/NZS 3000). It matters in Springfield because so much of the housing stock dates to the 1970s through 1990s and still runs original 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 handled by our licensed team with fixed pricing agreed before we start. See our lighting service for the full detail on what's covered.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load, which matters on older Springfield homes with original boards. Check out our EV charger installation service.
Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?
Yes. This is common in Springfield, where many homes built through the 1970s and 1980s still lack safety switches on every circuit. 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 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 for more.
Common questions
Local to Springfield
A few questions specific to the local area round things out.
Do you actually service Springfield?
Yes, Springfield and the surrounding suburbs across the Central Coast, including Gosford, Point Frederick, Erina, and Wyoming. We're servicing the area, not just passing through, with the same licensed team on every job.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Many older Springfield homes near Rumbalara Reserve still run original ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches, and added appliance load makes it worse over time. We'll check it and let you know exactly what's needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Does the bush-fringed setting affect my electrical?
It can. Homes backing onto Rumbalara Reserve see more storm exposure and vegetation contact with overhead lines than open, cleared blocks. We check for storm-related wear on inspections and can advise if a Level 2 issue like a sagging service line is involved.
