Common questions
Pricing and Quotes
Money questions first, because they are the most common thing people want sorted before they call.
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 Toukley?
It depends on the job, which is why the quote is always free and given upfront. A power point repair costs a lot less than a full switchboard upgrade, so we assess the job first and give you a fixed price before we start, not a guess over the phone.
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, with any options talked through with your technician on site. No hourly rate, no pressure, and no surprises on the bill.
How do I pay, and when?
Payment is due on completion once the job is finished and you are happy with the work. We confirm the fixed price at quote stage so there is nothing unexpected when the job is done.
Common questions
Licensing and Safety
Licensing, insurance, and doing the job properly, this is the trust section.
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 ticking a compliance box. See our power points service for more.
Is your work insured and guaranteed?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, plus every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something is not right, we come back and fix it, no arguments.
Is it safe to keep using a power point or switchboard that is 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 switchboard if you safely can, then call a licensed electrician. Read more on burnt outlet and tripped circuit breaker.

Common questions
Our Services and What's Involved
What actually happens on the bigger jobs we do around Toukley.
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 under AS/NZS 3000. This matters locally because many Toukley cottages near the town centre still run original 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. 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 load. See our EV charger installation service.
Can you check the switchboard and safety switches on an older home?
Yes. Common for Toukley's post-war fibro and weatherboard cottages, many of which were never fitted with safety switches on every circuit. We check the switchboard, safety switches, wiring and smoke alarms and give you a clear picture of what needs doing. See switchboard upgrades.
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 Toukley
The lakeside conditions that make Toukley electrical work a little different.
Do you actually service Toukley?
Yes, Toukley and the surrounding suburbs including Noraville, Budgewoi, Norah Head and Gorokan, across the Central Coast. We are your servicing team, not a call centre in another state.
Does the lake and coastal salt air affect my electrical?
Yes. Toukley sits on the narrow strip between Tuggerah Lake, Budgewoi Lake and the ocean, and salt-laden air corrodes outdoor points, fittings, and switchboards faster than inland suburbs. We use fittings suited to the coastal climate and check for corrosion on inspections. See electrical repairs.
My home's older, is my switchboard up to standard?
Many older Toukley homes near Main Road still run ceramic fuse boards without modern safety switches, and heavier appliance loads make it worse. We will check it and let you know exactly what is needed. See switchboard upgrades.
