    We recently had our smoke alarms serviced by Capital Electrical, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Bill was absolutely amazing – professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure everything was installed and working perfectly before he left. It’s so reassuring to deal with someone who genuinely cares about safety and customer service. Highly recommend Capital Electrical, especially Bill!

    Jason was fantastic. Punctual, polite and friendly service. He was knowledgeable and installed our fan with ease and within a great timeframe. Received a call before attending as well which I love.

    Absolute thrilled with how polite the young man "Billy" was from Capital Electrical when checking the smoke alarms in my house. He was happy to answer any questions I had while doing his job and most importantly, petted my dog on the way out. Will always use Capital Electrical from now on. Family orientated people

    Had a great experience with Tom from Capital Electrical. He came to clean our aircons and replace a ceiling fan and did a great job. Had a great chat and a laugh while he worked, everything was done to a high standard and he cleaned up after himself when he left. What more can you ask for in a tradie!

    I had to have an additional power outlet installed in the laundry and a light fixed outside the house, I was very impressed with the service. The tradesman (sorry I didn't get his name) was very professional, polite and very respectful. I asked for the power outlet to be placed in a location that we would be able to turn off the power when the front loader machine was not in use, and it was perfectly positioned. It's great to see a business that actually listens to client requests. And the outside light, well we discovered it wasn't broken after all. Excellent work ethic, great communications, great service, he even tidied up after himself. 100% meet my expectations, I would gladly recommend your business.

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.
Does Capital Electrical have a verified ABN?
Yes. Capital Electrical has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
