What does general electrical work cover?+
General electrical work covers everything that keeps your home or business running safely — fault-finding and repairs, new power points and switches, wiring upgrades, switchboard work, lighting, ceiling fans, appliance connections and routine maintenance. If something electrical is not working as it should, or you are planning an upgrade, it usually falls under general electrical. Tell us what is going on and we will let you know how we can help.
My power keeps tripping — can you help?+
Yes. Power that keeps tripping is your safety system doing its job, but it usually means there is an underlying fault worth investigating — an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or a wiring issue. We will track down the cause rather than just resetting it, and explain what needs to happen to fix it properly. If it is happening repeatedly, it is best not to ignore it — give us a call.
Can you upgrade my switchboard?+
Yes. Older switchboards often lack modern safety devices like circuit breakers and safety switches, and may struggle with the demands of a modern home or business. We can assess your existing switchboard and upgrade it so it is safer, compliant and able to handle your current electrical load. If you are adding major appliances, air conditioning or an EV charger, a switchboard check is a smart first step.
Do you install EV and car chargers?+
Yes. We install electric vehicle chargers for homes and businesses, including dedicated wall chargers. EV chargers draw significant power and must be installed by a licensed electrician on a suitable circuit, often alongside a switchboard check. We will assess your setup, recommend the right approach and install your charger safely so it is ready to use. Let us know your vehicle and where you would like the charger located.
How often should electrical maintenance be done?+
It depends on the age of the property and how it is used, but periodic checks of your switchboard, safety switches, smoke alarms and visible wiring are a sensible habit for any home or business. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they become expensive or unsafe. We can carry out an inspection and let you know if anything needs attention — there is no obligation to do more than that.
Do you offer electrical safety inspections?+
Yes. We can carry out an electrical safety inspection of your property and report back on the condition of your wiring, switchboard, safety switches and other key components. This is especially worthwhile for older homes, properties you are buying or selling, or business premises. We will give you a clear picture of anything that needs attention so you can make informed decisions.
How do you charge for general electrical work?+
We quote each job based on the work involved rather than a flat fee, and we will explain how the job will be charged before we start so you are never left guessing. For larger or more complex work we provide a written quote up front. Quotes are free and obligation-free — just get in touch and tell us what you need.
