Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come up first, so here is exactly how we handle pricing before any work starts.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We offer $0 call-out fees and free quotes, so you can get us out to your Gorokan home 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.

How much does an electrician cost in Gorokan?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point is a very different job to a full switchboard upgrade or a Level 2 service main repair. Either way, you get fixed pricing before we start, with no hourly surprises.

How does electrical pricing work?

You get a free quote and fixed, upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you are up for. Options are discussed with your technician on site, with no pressure and no surprises added later on the invoice.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion of the work, once you have already agreed to the fixed price at quote stage. Ask our team about flexible payment options for bigger jobs when you book your free quote, so cost never delays urgent work.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so here is exactly what stands behind every job we do.

Are your electricians licensed?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, Electrical Licence #451348C, licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs. Level 2 ASP accredited means we are accredited to work on the Ausgrid network here in Gorokan too. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) and done right.

Do I need a licensed electrician to add power points in Gorokan?

Yes. In NSW, electrical work like adding or moving power points must be done by a licensed electrician, it is not a legal DIY job. It is about your home and your family being safe, not just the rules. See our power points service.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?

Yes. Fully licensed and insured, plus a lifetime labour warranty on every job. If something is not right down the track, we come back and fix it, no argument and no expiry date on the labour.

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 Gorokan's many older postwar homes. Switch it off at the wall if you can do so safely and call us. See tripped circuit breaker.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something has gone wrong, so here is how fast we move.

How fast can you get to me in Gorokan?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Gorokan and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time, day or night.

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 seen that day. Free quote and $0 call-out either way, so there is no downside to calling early.

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. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. See power outages and burnt smells.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what actually happens on the jobs we get asked about most.

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). This matters in Gorokan, where many postwar and 1960s-1980s homes still run original fuse boards. See switchboard upgrades.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, and indoor and outdoor lighting, all done to a fixed, upfront price. See our lighting service for the full scope of what we cover.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and check your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load before we start. See EV charger installation.

Are you Level 2 ASP accredited?

Yes. We are a Level 2 ASP, accredited to work on the Ausgrid network, so we handle service mains, metering, private pole and network connections, the work most electricians have to sub out. See service mains.

Do you do commercial electrical work too?

Yes, homes and businesses across Gorokan and the wider region. See our general electrical service for everyday jobs of any scale.

Common questions

Local to Gorokan

A couple of questions come up specifically because of where Gorokan sits.

Do you actually service Gorokan?

Yes, Gorokan and the surrounding suburbs including Lake Haven, Charmhaven, Kanwal, Toukley and Wadalba across the Central Coast. We are the local team, servicing the area rather than a call centre passing your job on.

Does living near Tuggerah Lake affect my electrical?

Yes. Homes fronting the brackish Tuggerah Lake foreshore see faster corrosion on older fittings, outdoor points and switchboards from the salt-laden air. We use fittings suited to the local conditions and check for corrosion on inspections. See electrical repairs.

My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?

Possibly not. Many Gorokan homes from the postwar and 1960s-1980s waves still run original ceramic fuse switchboards with no safety switches. We will check it during a free quote and let you know exactly what needs doing. See switchboard upgrades.
