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 up front. Every job gets fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How much does an electrician cost in Croudace Bay?

It depends on the job, from a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. We confirm fixed pricing before any work starts, so there are no hourly surprises on the bill.

Common questions

Licensing and Safety

This is the trust section, so here is our licence, insurance and standards in plain English.

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 accredited to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000).

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 keeping your home and family safe, not just following the rules. See our power points 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, no argument.

Is it safe to keep using a power point that smells hot or has scorch marks?

No. A burning smell or a hot, discoloured outlet is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch off the circuit at the switchboard and call a licensed electrician straight away. See our burnt outlet issue page.

Common questions

Our Services and What's Involved

Here is what our most-asked-about jobs actually involve.

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 most in Croudace Bay's older brick-veneer and fibro homes carrying added EV charger or pool pump load. See our switchboard upgrades service.

Can you install extra power points and lighting?

Yes. Power points, downlights, LED upgrades, and indoor or outdoor lighting are all everyday jobs for our team. See our lighting service.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the extra load safely. See our EV charger installation service.

Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?

Yes. This is common on Croudace Bay's older 1960s to 1980s homes with ageing boards. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing.

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 Croudace Bay

A few questions come up specifically because of where Croudace Bay sits.

Do you actually service Croudace Bay?

Yes, Croudace Bay and the surrounding eastern-shore Lake Macquarie suburbs including Belmont, Floraville, Valentine, Marks Point and Eleebana. We are servicing the whole area, not just based nearby.

Does the lake's salt air affect my electrical?

Yes. Homes on Croudace Bay's brackish foreshore cop moderate salt exposure off Lake Macquarie that corrodes outdoor fittings, power points and switchboard components faster than inland suburbs. See our electrical repairs service.

My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?

Many of Croudace Bay's 1960s to 1980s brick-veneer and fibro homes still run old fuse boards without modern safety switches. We will check yours and let you know exactly what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.
