Electrical services across Port Macquarie

Four kinds of work make up most of what we do. Whichever it is, you get a licensed electrician, a price before we start, and a switchboard left tidier than we found it.

What locals say

These are made-up example reviews, written by Vantoro to show how real ones would look. The people and quotes aren't real.

5.0 Example rating, not real
Example review
“Safety switch kept tripping every time it rained. They found water in an outdoor light fitting inside twenty minutes, fixed it, and showed me exactly what had happened.”
Karen D.Lake Cathie · Fault finding
Example review
“Rang at 9pm with no power to half the house. Got a call back in five minutes and someone was here within the hour. The price was what they'd said on the phone.”
Mick T.Port Macquarie · Emergency call-out
Example review
“Had the old fuse board replaced before our solar went on. Neat job, dust sheets down, and they walked us through the new switchboard properly.”

What happens when you call

  1. 01

    A real person answers

    Not a call centre. You'll talk to someone who knows what a tripping circuit means.

  2. 02

    You get a price first

    We look at the job and tell you what it costs before any work starts. You decide.

  3. 03

    Fixed, tested, tidied

    Every job is tested before we leave, and you get a compliance certificate where one's required.

Questions we get asked a lot

Do you really come out after hours?

Yes, for genuine emergencies: no power, sparking, burning smells, anything unsafe. After-hours rates apply, and we'll tell you what they are on the phone.

Why does my safety switch keep tripping?

Usually a faulty appliance or water getting into an outdoor fitting, sometimes old wiring. Try unplugging everything on that circuit. If it still trips, it's time for us to find the fault.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

If you still have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or you're adding solar, a battery or an EV charger, probably yes. We'll check it and give you a straight answer either way.

Will I get a price before you start?

Always. We look at the job, tell you the cost, and only start once you've said yes.
