    Recently had ceiling fans installed throughout my house. The ladies in the office were quick to respond to my price enquiry & send a detailed quote. They offered a good price & were helpful with questions I had about the install. The 2 electricians that came to do the installation arrived on time & were both very polite. They were very professional and did a great job & left no mess. I definitely recommend Penman Electrics to anyone. I think it's important to support family businesses in your area.

    Neil and his team recently carried out extensive work in our home including installation and/or replacement of lights, power points, ceiling fans, spot lights and fire alarms. The team were punctual, polite and carried out the work very efficiently (and cleaned up any mess too), all at a good price. We highly recommend them. Thanks Neil.

    Penman Electrics were professional, knowledgeable, polite and punctual. I needed an upgrade on my switchboard and a fuse changed at the point of attachment. Neil was extremely patient with all my questions and took extra time to explain the process. He also helped me out by making a new switchboard panel which then made it possible to fit everything into the old space. I would highly recommend Neil and his team. His prices are very reasonable and the office staff were efficient and friendly.

    We can't rate Penman Electrics high enough...5 stars is not enough! Austin & Josh were the most punctual, polite, knowledgeable and professional team who sorted out our electrical requirements prior to the house painters coming through. Would recommend these guys to everyone. Can't wait to have you return in a couple of weeks to reinstate the exterior electrical fittings. Michael & Suzanne

Frequently asked questions

How much do electricians typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the job type, how much fault-finding is needed, and whether switchboard or circuit work is involved. Electricians typically charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, and after-hours attendance usually attracts higher rates. Check the live pricing on this page to compare local quotes.
Do electricians charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and are usually charged separately to labour and materials to cover travel and the initial assessment. Some providers may also have a minimum charge for small jobs, so it's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do electricians need a licence in Australia?
Yes — electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW licensing is through NSW Fair Trading. Electricians should display a valid state electrical licence number on quotes and advertising and will usually issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion of work.
