03 Repairs

General electrical repairs

Safe repairs to wiring, outlets and fittings once the fault has actually been traced, with the standard hourly rate agreed before we start.

Price
$165 to $420
Typical duration
45 to 120 min

Once a fault is traced, the repair itself is usually the smaller half of the job. We fix damaged or degraded wiring, replace failed components, and make good any wall or ceiling access we needed along the way. Every repair is tested under load before we leave, not just visually checked.

What is included

  • Repair carried out to the fault confirmed during diagnosis
  • Damaged or degraded wiring replaced, not just isolated
  • Wall or ceiling access made good after the repair
  • Circuit tested under load before we leave
  • Twelve month workmanship warranty on the repair

03Asked often

Before you book

If your question is not here, it is probably on the FAQ page, and if it is not there either, ring and ask.

What is your standard hourly rate?

$125 an hour after the first thirty minutes on site, which is included in the call-out. You will always see the number before we start the repair, not after.

Can you match my existing outlets and switches?

In most cases, yes. If the existing style has been discontinued we will show you the closest match before we fit anything, rather than surprise you with a different finish.

Do you guarantee the repair?

Twelve months on workmanship. If the same fault returns in that time on the circuit we repaired, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Most non-urgent bookings are scheduled inside three to five business days. Tell us what is happening and we will confirm a time, or call now if it genuinely cannot wait.

Good to have ready

  • Access to the switchboard, or know where it is if we have not been before
  • A rough idea of when the problem started and what you were doing at the time
  • Anyone else in the house told, if we need to isolate power for part of a visit
  • Photos of the fitting, outlet or damage, if you can get them safely from a distance
