They offer a range of services

When you choose an electrician, you want that person to be your electrician for life.

And with a wide range of services on offer, you can have complete confidence that your chosen electrician has the knowledge and experience to provide a wide range of domestic electrical services.

From lighting solutions like dimmer switches that improve the ambiance in your home, wiring or switchboard issues, or renovations, a wide breadth of services means that you can truly rely on one electrical company for all your queries, concerns, fixes, and improvements.

They are honest and transparent

Unfortunately, some bad apples have made an impact on the trades industry, including electricians.

Whether dodgy contractors cut corners to get jobs done sooner (and therefore fit in more jobs per day) or stuff your invoice with unexpected charges, if you’ve been burnt before, we know how apprehensive you might be finding a trustworthy trade.

As a family business, we understand that our reputation is on the line when we attend a job. That’s why we make it our mission to treat every single customer, no matter the task at hand, with complete honesty, transparency, and respect.

We’re open and honest, offering upfront quotes and pausing work if we need to speak to you about expected issues that arise, rather than just tacking it onto your bill.

They are qualified and experienced

When viewing an electrician’s website, you need to view their registration, qualifications, and license.

Most Australian states require electrical businesses to be registered as an electrical contractor.

Electricians also need to provide compliance certificates for any work they do. This confirms that the work has been completed in accordance with state regulation.

We also recommend you look at any awards won, reviews and ratings, and ask the electrician for references.

How do I find out if an electrician is qualified?

You can ask!

Electricians should always be able to provide a license number upon request, and will also display this information on their website (for example, you can see our licence number in the bottom footer of our site!)

You can also search the NSW public register to ensure your chosen electrician has a current licence to perform the work you want done.

They are available 24/7

On your electrician hunt, you might consider searching for a company that offers a true emergency service, 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year.

Many companies may call themselves emergency electricians, but will also greet you with voice messages when you call them at an unexpected hour due to an electrical emergency.

Electrical issues can strike anytime, so whether it’s a power outage in the middle of the night or a concerning smell coming from your power sockets on a weekend, rely on a true 24-hour emergency electrician in Dee Why to provide immediate support and advice over the phone, and who can come to you when you need them most.

We are proud to offer a true emergency electrical service to clients across Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Your safety may be on the line here – and that’s our main priority!
