Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions come up first, so here they are answered straight.
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 Kincumber?
It depends on the job, which is exactly why the quote is free. A power point swap costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade. We give you a fixed, upfront price after a free quote, so you know the full cost before we start, with no hourly guesswork.
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. Your technician talks through the options on site, and $0 call-out means there is no cost just to have us come and look.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is due on completion of the work, once you have already agreed to the fixed price from your free quote. There are no hidden progress payments or surprise add-ons, the price we quote is the price you pay.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
This is the trust section, so we lead with the licence and the standard we hold.
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. Every job is done to the Wiring Rules, AS/NZS 3000, and done right.
Do I need a licensed electrician to add power points in Kincumber?
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 your family safe, not just following the rules. See our power points service.
Is your work insured and guaranteed?
Yes, fully licensed and insured, plus a lifetime labour warranty on every job. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no argument and no expiry date on that promise.
Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard that's playing up?
No. A burning smell, a hot outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping is a warning sign, not a nuisance. Switch it off at the wall if you safely can, then call a licensed electrician straight away. Read more on tripped circuit breakers or burnt outlets.
Common questions
Emergency and Response Times
Speed matters, so here is what to genuinely expect.

Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, same-day service where availability allows. The earlier in the day you call, the better the chance we can get to you today. Free quote and $0 call-out either way, so there is no cost just to get us out for a look.
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. Do not wait on something that could be dangerous. Read more about power outages and no power to the whole property.
Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
Here is what our jobs actually involve, in plain English.
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. It matters locally because many Kincumber homes from the 1960s to 1980s still run original ceramic-fuse boards. See our switchboard upgrades service.
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 and power points services for the full detail.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install home EV chargers and make sure your switchboard can actually handle the extra load, which matters on older Kincumber homes with original boards. See our EV charger installation service.
Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older Kincumber home?
Yes. This is common across Kincumber, where many older, un-renovated homes were wired before RCDs were mandatory and still lack safety switches. 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 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.
Do you do commercial electrical work too?
Yes, homes and businesses. See our general electrical service for the full scope of what we cover across Kincumber.
Common questions
Local to Kincumber
A couple of questions that come up because of exactly where Kincumber sits.
Do you actually service Kincumber?
Yes, Kincumber and the surrounding Central Coast suburbs, including Avoca Beach, Green Point, Erina, Saratoga, Bensville and Empire Bay. We are servicing the whole area with the same licensed team, not just passing through.
Does the salt air off the Broadwater affect my electrical?
Yes. Estuarine air along Kincumber Broadwater corrodes external fittings, outdoor points, and switchboard components faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to coastal conditions and check for corrosion on inspections. See our electrical repairs service.
My Kincumber home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Possibly not. Many older Kincumber homes below Kincumba Mountain still run original fuse boards without modern safety switches, and adding an EV charger, pool pump, or spa often exposes the gap. We will check it and let you know. See our switchboard upgrades service.
