Clay arrived very promptly to our home to diagnose an unexpected problem with our hot water supply which turned out to be a plumbing issue. We have called upon his services before and have known him to be a prompt, honest, professional & capable electrician. We were not charged a fee for this visit today and he will continue to be the first electrician we call if needed in future because his is so dependable. Thank you!

Hortle Electric provided us with great customer service. Clay is very efficient and scheduled our job quickly. He was on time and did a superb job, cleaned up and took the old fitting and packaging for the new one with him. Price was reasonable. He is also helping with other lighting issues that we discussed while he was here. Recommended and a cut above some other electricians we’ve used in the past

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.
