Electricians Mount Colah FAQs

You call, we look at the job in person, and you get a fixed price in writing before anything starts. That price covers labour, materials, GST and testing, so there's nothing extra bolted on at the end.

Yes, genuinely. The visit and the written price cost you nothing, and there's no call-out fee hiding behind the word free.

No, the price locks when you accept the quote, however long the work actually takes. If something genuinely unforeseen turns up, work stops and we re-quote before touching anything more.

On completion, once you've seen the finished job and the paperwork. We'll confirm the payment options when we book you in, and the invoice always matches the quote you approved.

It's the Australian wiring standard, the rulebook covering how circuits, earthing and safety switches must be installed. Every job we do is built to it, which is what the Certificate of Compliance on notifiable work confirms.

No, anything beyond changing a light bulb or plugging things in legally requires a licensed electrician in NSW. It's one of the few trades where DIY isn't just risky but against the law.

It's a device that cuts power in a fraction of a second when current leaks to earth, like through a person. Modern homes have them on every circuit, and if yours doesn't, that's worth fixing soon.

Clipsal and Hager for switchgear, SAL and Beacon Lighting for fittings. Quality hardware every time, since the cheap stuff is where callbacks come from.

Often same or next day for standard bookings, depending on when you call. We'll give you an honest answer on timing over the phone rather than a promise we can't keep.

Usually quickly, though the calendar moves around, so the same job might be tomorrow one week and a couple of days out the next. Ring and you'll hear exactly what's open right now.

Sparks, burning smells, shocks from switches or taps, or power gone while the neighbours still have theirs, all of which get priority any hour. A breaker tripping without heat or any burning smell can usually hold for a standard booking.

Call (02) 9538 7444 and an actual human takes the details and books the time there and then. A reminder message arrives the day prior so nothing sneaks up on you.

Yes. Renovation wiring is a big part of our week, since so many of the suburb's older houses are being extended and opened up, and each one needs circuits planned around the new floor plan.

Well enough to quote it accurately. Most of it went up between the 1960s and 1980s with later infill on the sloping bush blocks, which tells us a lot about the boards and wiring before we even arrive.

This is home turf, not the far end of a service area. We're working in the 2079 postcode most weeks, and the surrounding Hornsby suburbs fill the rest of the calendar.

Many still run ceramic fuse boards from their original build, made for a fraction of today's electrical load. Swapping to modern circuit breakers with safety switches is the single biggest safety improvement most of these homes can make.
