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 work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
How much does an electrician cost in Gillieston Heights?
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 work starts, so no hourly surprises on the bill.
How does electrical pricing work?

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, accredited to work on both the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks too. Every job is completed to the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000), done properly.
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, 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 properly, no argument, on everyday repairs and Level 2 jobs alike, every time.
I've received a defect notice from the network, what do I do?
A defect notice from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy flags unsafe or non-compliant mains or metering that a Level 2 ASP must fix. Call us and we will assess and rectify it to close out the notice. See our defect notice repairs service.
Common questions
Emergency and Response Times
Speed matters when something is genuinely wrong, so here is how fast we move.
How fast can you get to me in Gillieston Heights?
We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency availability across the Maitland area and turn up fast, often within the hour where availability allows. Call us directly for the fastest response, and we will tell you honestly if a job needs booking in.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The best way to lock it in is to call, the earlier in the day, the better the odds. A free quote and $0 call-out apply either way, on small repairs and bigger jobs.
Do you do emergency electrical work?
Yes. For urgent, unsafe faults, burning smells, sparks, or a dead switchboard, call us and we will get someone out fast. Do not wait on a sagging service line or a burning smell from the meter box, both Level 2 emergencies.
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, especially where an older board is carrying added pool or EV charger load. See our switchboard upgrades service.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can handle the extra load safely, common in newer estate homes with double garages. See our EV charger installation service.
What is a Level 2 ASP and what work do you do as one?
A Level 2 ASP is licensed to work on the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, the service mains, metering and network connections most electricians sub out. We are accredited on Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. See our service mains service.
Can you wire a pool or spa circuit?
Yes. Pools and spas on larger blocks need a dedicated, RCD-protected circuit done to standard. We install and sign off compliant pool and spa circuits as part of our general electrical service.
Common questions
Local to Gillieston Heights
A few questions come up specifically because of where Gillieston Heights sits.
Do you actually service Gillieston Heights?
Yes, Gillieston Heights and the surrounding Maitland suburbs including Maitland, Aberglasslyn, Rutherford and Chisholm. We are servicing the whole local area, not just based nearby, with the same fast response and fixed pricing wherever you are calling from.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
A good number of Gillieston Heights homes were built through the 1980s to early 2000s growth phase, before newer estates like Wallis Creek arrived, so some older boards still lack modern safety switches. We will check yours and let you know what is needed. See our switchboard upgrades service.
