Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most from homeowners, builders, and property managers.
Services and scope
What electrical services do you provide?
We cover residential, commercial, renovation, security and CCTV, home automation, audio visual and home theatre, and strata electrical work across Sydney, the Central Coast, and Wollongong. Typical projects range from switchboard upgrades and full rewires through to bespoke home theatre and smart home builds.
Do you work on new builds and renovations?
Yes. We work alongside builders and architects from the design stage through to practical completion. Getting us involved before frame-up lets us plan circuit layouts, automation pre-wiring, and AV cable runs cleanly rather than retrofitting later.
Can you do emergency call-outs?
Yes, we respond to emergency electrical call-outs for existing clients during business hours, and on a best-effort basis outside them. Please call 0451 989 803 if you have an active safety concern, such as burning smells, visible arcing, or a tripped main that will not reset.
Quoting and pricing
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes, we provide complimentary no-obligation quotes for most residential and commercial work. For complex jobs that require detailed design or site surveys, a small scoping fee may apply and is credited back against the project if the work proceeds.
How do you price your work?
Small works are typically quoted on a fixed-price basis for clarity. Larger projects use a combination of itemised labour, materials, and design time with a clearly documented variation process if scope changes during delivery.
Do you require a deposit?
For domestic work, a 30 percent deposit is payable on acceptance of the quotation. Progress payments apply at pre-agreed milestones for longer projects, with the balance due on completion.
Licensing, insurance, and compliance
Are you fully licensed and insured?
Yes. All work is carried out by NSW-licensed electrical contractors. We hold public liability insurance to twenty million dollars, and certificates of currency are available on request.
Will I receive electrical certification?
Yes. A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is issued for applicable works, lodged with the distributor, and a copy provided to you for your records.
What warranty do you offer?
Workmanship is warranted for 12 months from completion. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to installed equipment.
Home automation and security
Which home automation platforms do you work with?
We design and install systems using Control4, Dynalite, Clipsal C-Bus, Loxone, and integrated Apple Home, Google Home, and Home Assistant setups. The right platform depends on the scope of the home and the client's existing ecosystem.
Can I retrofit smart lighting into an existing home?
Yes, in most cases. We assess the existing wiring, switchboard capacity, and wall box depths before proposing a retrofit. Heritage homes may require extra planning to preserve wall finishes.
What CCTV brands do you use?
Our default recommendation is Dahua for most residential and light-commercial installs, with Hikvision and Uniview used where the project calls for it. All systems are deployed with on-site NVRs for reliable 4K recording and long retention.
Working together
How far in advance do I need to book?
Small domestic jobs can usually be scheduled within one to two weeks. New-build electrical works should be booked a month or more ahead to align with your builder's programme. For renovation electrical, contact us as early as possible, ideally before demolition begins.
Which areas do you service?
Greater Sydney, the Central Coast, and the Illawarra region including Wollongong. See our Service Areas page for the full suburb breakdown.
Do you work with strata managers and commercial property managers?
Yes. We maintain compliance schedules, run planned preventative maintenance programmes, and respond to call-outs for strata and commercial property managers across Sydney.
