Electricians Kingsford FAQs

Yes. Someone comes out, looks at the job in front of them and writes you a price on site, with nothing to pay for the visit. There is no call-out fee for quoting, and no travel or parking charge appearing later. Nothing is owed unless you give us the nod.

You get a fixed written quote before we start, and we do not charge by the hour. Say yes to it and that is the price, even if the work runs longer than any of us expected. Uncover something nobody could have known about and the job pauses until you have seen a price for that part.

When it is done, tested, and you have seen it working. The invoice matches the quote you accepted, so there is nothing on it you have not already agreed to. Bigger jobs that run in stages get set out that way on the quote, rather than sprung on you halfway.

Exactly what it sounds like. $50 off your first service with us, taken off the job total, with no code to enter and no coupon to hunt down. Mention it when you ring and it goes on the written quote, so you see it before committing to anything.

The wiring rules. Every licensed sparkie in the country has to work to that standard, and it governs how circuits are protected, how things are earthed and where a safety switch (RCD) belongs. Work that misses it is not compliant, however tidy it looks from the front.

Yes. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, Master Electricians Australia member, fully insured. None of that needs taking on trust. The licence sits on a public register, so go and check it at NSW Fair Trading yourself before booking us or anybody else.

It is the electrician's signed declaration that the job was done to standard. For notifiable electrical work you get a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work when we finish, and a copy is lodged with NSW Fair Trading. Keep yours with the house papers. It is the proof the work was done by someone allowed to do it.

No. DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW, and that covers jobs which look completely harmless. Changing a light fitting counts. Moving a power point counts. If the aim is saving money, get the small jobs bundled into one visit, which costs less than calling anyone out three times.

You talk to one of us, not a queue. We ask what the fault is doing, how old the place is and whether anything is unsafe right now. Urgent jobs get triaged there and then by a licensed electrician. Everything else, we book you in for a time that suits.

Often same or next day for standard work. Genuine emergencies are answered day or night, whenever they land. We will not promise a slot we cannot make just to get you off the phone. If we are ever running late, the call comes before we are late, not after.

Genuine electrical emergencies are covered around the clock, weekends included. Standard bookings run during business hours through the week. If your job is not urgent but your week is impossible, say so when you ring and we will sort out what fits.

Often same or next day, though we are not going to dress that up as a guarantee. Ring earlier in the day and your odds improve. Booking goes through a person who can see how the day is actually running, rather than a message service passing it along.

Yes. Owners, tenants, committees and managing agents all end up ringing us. The thing worth settling early is where common property ends and your lot begins, because that decides who pays. We work it out before the quote, not after the invoice.

Well enough to have a fair idea of the switchboard before we see it. These streets came out of the 1920s land boom, so plenty of what we open up is interwar double-brick and semis. Solid double brick gives you nowhere easy to feed a cable, so runs have to be planned rather than improvised. That is exactly why a price here gets written on site rather than guessed at down the phone.

Yes, both, and the two ends of the stock keep us honest. A 2000s apartment fit-out is a very different job to a period semi being opened up. Both come down to whether the switchboard can carry what you are adding. That is where any renovation starts, well before anyone picks downlights.

Most weeks, and usually more than once. This is home turf, not a postcode on a coverage map. The practical version: you are not waiting on someone to cross Sydney, and we are not learning your suburb on your job.
