    I recently upgraded some vital equipment for my business through Clancy at O'Brien Electrical, and the entire process from deciding what would best suit my needs, to the install and set up, was made easy and hassle free. Clancy listened to my requirements when advising what would be most suitable for my business currently, as well as into the future. I also have peace of mind knowing that my equipment will be well maintained. I would highly recommend the O'Brien team.

    I had a 240v electrical problem with my caravan. Although I had to call them to make sure they were going to show up, when they did, the service I received was excellent. With their advice, I was able to find a much cheaper solution to my problem, and in the end, nothing major needed to be done, saving me a lot of money. I will definitely be using them again should I need any electrical work done for my caravan or my house. I highly recommend them.

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.
