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, transparent pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice when we are finished.
How much does an electrician cost in Point Frederick?
It depends on the job, which is why every quote is free and given upfront. A power point costs less than a full switchboard upgrade or a Level 2 service main repair. We will not give a number over the phone, but you will have a fixed price in hand before any work begins.
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, with no pressure and no surprises. $0 call-out applies whether or not you go ahead with the job.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is made once the job is complete and you are happy with the work. We will confirm the fixed price with you before we start, so there is nothing unexpected when the invoice arrives. Ask our team about flexible payment options for larger jobs.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
This is the trust section, so here is what backs every job we 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 general electrical service.
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, no expiry date.
Is it safe to keep using a switchboard that keeps tripping?
No, a breaker that trips repeatedly, a hot outlet, or a burning smell is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off if you safely can and call a licensed electrician. See our tripped circuit breaker page or our switchboard upgrades service.

Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
Here is a plain-English look at what the bigger jobs actually involve.
What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?
We assess the existing board, replace old ceramic fuses with modern safety switches, RCDs, and bring it up to current standards, AS/NZS 3000. This matters locally because many older Point Frederick cottages still run original fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Can you install extra power points and lighting?
Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, and indoor and outdoor lighting are everyday jobs for us. See our lighting and power points services.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard and supply can handle the extra load, including checking whether a consumer mains upgrade is needed first. See our EV charger installation service.
Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?
Yes. This is common in Point Frederick, where many pre-war and mid-century homes near Pioneer Park still lack RCD safety switches. We check the switchboard, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See our switchboard upgrades service.
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.
Common questions
Local to Point Frederick
Here is how our local knowledge shapes the work we do on the peninsula.
Do you actually service Point Frederick?
Yes, Point Frederick and the surrounding suburbs across the Central Coast, including Gosford, Point Clare, Springfield and Erina. We service the whole peninsula, not just the main roads in and out.
Does the coastal air around Brisbane Water affect my electrical?
Yes. Point Frederick sits on a peninsula wrapped by Brisbane Water on three sides, and salt-laden air corrodes outdoor fittings and switchboards faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on inspections. See our electrical repairs service.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Possibly not. Many older homes near Pioneer Park still run ceramic-fuse boards without modern safety switches, and added load from an EV charger or pool pump makes an ageing board work harder. We will check it and let you know. See our switchboard upgrades service.
