    Unfortunately it happened on Christmas Day, a circuit breaker tripped and unfortunately wouldn’t reset and it had to affect the kitchen and preparation and cooking were just starting. After a frantic call, one of your electricians arrived at our door inside of 30 minutes of ringing, so the response time was excellent. After a quick inspection and having confirmed that everything on the circuit was unplugged, it was determined that by sheer luck I had a faulty breaker that decided Christmas was the perfect time to give up the ghost. The tech had a new circuit breaker installed within 5 minutes and patiently waited whilst we plugged every appliance back in and turned on, to ensure that everything was correct. I cannot thank the technician enough, that he came out and saved Christmas for my family and wasn’t bothered that I had interrupted his family time on such an important holiday, when he more than likely had his own things to do for his own family. If anybody is looking for a professional reliable team of Electricians, I couldn’t recommend anyone other than Stuart Johnson Electrical and I should also mention that the cost was more than reasonable and my wife was extremely grateful.

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.
