Common questions

Pricing and Quotes

Money questions come up before almost every job, so here are the straight answers.

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 up front. 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 Forresters Beach?

It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point swap costs far less than a switchboard upgrade or a Level 2 service main repair. We give you fixed, transparent pricing before any work starts.

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, and there is $0 call-out to get that conversation started.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is due on completion, once you have confirmed the fixed price we quoted upfront. Ask about flexible payment options for bigger jobs when you book your free quote, so a larger repair does not have to wait.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is where we set out exactly who is doing the work and how it is covered.

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 network here in Forresters Beach. 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 family being safe, not just the rules. Call us for a free quote on power points or any general electrical work.

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, no fine print and no expiry date.

Is it safe to keep using an outlet that's playing up?

No. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance, especially in older beach cottages with original wiring. Switch it off at the switchboard if you can do so safely and call us. See our burnt outlet issue page for more detail.

Common questions

Emergency and Response Times

Speed matters when something electrical has gone wrong, so here is what to expect.

How fast can you get to me in Forresters Beach?

We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across Forresters Beach and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. The phone is the fastest way to lock in a time, so call rather than wait on a form submission for anything urgent.

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. It comes with a free quote and $0 call-out, so there is no cost just to have us assess the job.

Do you do emergency electrical work?

Yes. For urgent, unsafe faults, burning smells, sparks, a dead switchboard, call us and we will get someone out. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. See our power outages and tripped circuit breaker issue pages for common examples.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is a plain-English rundown of what the bigger jobs actually involve.

What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?

We assess the 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 several Forresters Beach homes still run original boards from the 1960s to 1980s. See our switchboard upgrades service page.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, indoor and outdoor lighting, all done by our licensed team. See our lighting service page for the full scope of what we cover.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load, which matters on larger Forresters Beach blocks running a pool, spa or workshop as well. 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 network, 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.

Common questions

Local to Forresters Beach

A couple of questions specific to this stretch of coast.

Do you actually service Forresters Beach?

Yes, Forresters Beach and the surrounding suburbs across the Central Coast. We regularly work in Wamberal, Bateau Bay, Terrigal, Tumbi Umbi and Shelly Beach as well. We service the area, we are not based inside it.

Does the coastal salt air affect my electrical?

Yes. Forresters Beach sits on an exposed headland with high salt exposure, and salt-laden sea air accelerates corrosion of external fittings, outdoor points and switchboards faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on inspections. See electrical repairs.

Do you do commercial electrical work too?

Yes, homes and businesses, including the shops and services around the Forresters Beach village strip. See our general electrical service page for the full range of work we cover.
