Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions come up first, so here is exactly how our pricing works.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. We offer $0 call-out fees and free quotes, so you can get us out and get a price with nothing to pay upfront. Every job gets fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice when the job is done.
How much does an electrician cost in Wamberal?
It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point swap costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade. Whatever the size of the job, you get fixed, transparent 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 any work, so you know exactly what you are up for. Options are discussed with you on site, and there is $0 call-out just to have that conversation. No pressure, no surprises.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is due on completion of the work, once you have already agreed to the fixed price we quoted. There are no hidden progress payments or hourly billing. If a bigger job needs it, ask about our flexible payment options when we quote.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
This is the trust section, so here is exactly what we are licensed and accredited to 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 also accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules, AS/NZS 3000, and done right.
Do I need a licensed electrician to add power points?
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 following the rules. See our power points service page.
Is your work insured and guaranteed?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, for as long as you own the home.
Is it safe to keep using a power point that's playing up?
No. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the wall and call a licensed electrician rather than keep using it. See our burnt outlet issue page for what to do next.
Common questions

Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
Here is what the bigger jobs actually involve, in plain English.
What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?
We assess your existing board, replace old fuses with modern safety switches, RCDs, and bring it up to current standards under AS/NZS 3000. This matters locally because many older Wamberal beach houses still run original boards. See our switchboard upgrades service page.
Can you install extra power points and lighting?
Yes. Power points, downlights, indoor and outdoor lighting, LED upgrades, all done by our licensed team. See our lighting service page for the full scope.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can actually handle the extra load before we connect it. See our EV charger installation service page.
Are you Level 2 ASP accredited?
Yes. We are a Level 2 ASP, accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks, so we handle service mains, metering, private pole and network connections, the work most electricians have to sub out. See our service mains service page.
Do you do commercial electrical work too?
Yes, homes and businesses across Wamberal and the surrounding Central Coast. See our general electrical service page for the full range.
Common questions
Local to Wamberal
Wamberal has its own quirks, here is how they shape the work we do.
Do you actually service Wamberal?
Yes, Wamberal and the surrounding suburbs across the Central Coast, including Terrigal, Forresters Beach, Erina and Bateau Bay. We are servicing the area, not just passing through, with the same licensed team on every job.
Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical?
Yes. Homes along Ocean View Drive and the Wamberal Beach strip face constant salt-laden air that corrodes switchboards, outdoor points and fittings faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on every inspection. See our electrical repairs service page.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Possibly not. Many older homes on the coastal strip and around the semi-rural ridges near Wamberal Lagoon still run original fuse boards without modern safety switches. We will check it and let you know plainly what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades service page.
What should I do if a storm damages my service line?
Stay well clear and call us immediately, a sagging or damaged service line can still be live and dangerous. East coast storms hit the Wamberal Beach strip hard, and service mains and private poles take the brunt of it. See our storm-damaged mains issue page.
