    I had the best experience with Phil and his amazing team. Retrofitting lights into a double brick home is not for the faint hearted. I sourced European mid century vintage lighting which wasn’t straight forward to install and the Carmen team did it perfectly. Will use them again and again!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service & Professionalism – Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of meeting Phil Redmond from Carmen Electricals quite by coincidence, and I’m incredibly glad I did. Phil was attending to a job on my street, and I approached him for some guidance. Despite being in the middle of another task, Phil responded with complete professionalism and respect, letting me know he would get back to me once he was done. And he did—punctual, polite, and focused. Phil took the time to understand what I needed and provided clear, expert advice. Although he mentioned he was short on time, his exceptional workmanship and attention to detail never faltered. What really impressed me was how he managed his schedule—he called his team to coordinate client expectations, allowing him to balance his time, work, and relationships seamlessly. I ended up asking Phil for two additional services on the spot, and without hesitation, he completed them efficiently and to a high standard. His confidence and speed were a clear reflection of years of hands-on experience. But the highlight for me? Phil didn’t charge a call-out fee simply because he was already in the area. That kind of authenticity and integrity is rare these days. If this is how he treats a total stranger, I can only imagine the trust and satisfaction his long-term clients must feel. I now know exactly who I’ll be calling for any electrical work in the future. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Phil and Carmen Electricals to anyone in need of reliable, professional service—friends, family, and colleagues included.

    Carmen Electrical were fantastic to deal with, and super quick to help. Electrician came same day, found the reason for a tripping safety switch, fixed it, and helped with a couple of other smaller jobs while he was here. Absolutely great service, and I'll be using them again.

    I had a very positive experience at Carmen Electrical this week. Both Phil and Sasha were very nice to deal with, professional, and reasonably priced as well. Although very busy, they worked to be able to fit me into Phil's tight schedule so that other trades would not be held up on my project. Sasha promptly returned all my calls and found out the answers to all my queries, both general and technical. On the job, Phil deftly dealt with everything, including wiring through double brick and pesky wood beams in the ceiling cavity. Afterwards, everything was left in a neat and tidy state. Excellent service all round, which exceeded my expectations. I would definitely use them again.

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.
