    Our power went out on a Sunday night. Awesome I know. My sister has an intellectual disability and was stressing out which added to the issue. I rang several electricians listed as 24/7 but they didn't answer. Peter came out and fixed the problem in 20 minutes. He charged less than he could have for callout fee on Sundays. My sister was so happy to be able to watch her usual TV shows and keep to her routine. It was such a relief to find someone on such short notice after hours.

    Originally called Smarterlec to get some hard wired smoke detectors replaced and got a very fair quote from Peter. While he was here we got him to quote on a few other things and ended up getting him back a few times. I would describe his work as old school, not meaning he is not high tech but he provides old fashioned quality work to a very high standard and at a very fair price and he does not push expense over value or quality. Use him again, we would have absolutely no hesitation.

    Peter has looked after my elderly parent for a number of years. He has always gone above a beyond to provide them with the best service and products. His quotes are always fair, and no corners are ever cut. If you're looking for a quality tradesperson who is a pleasure to deal with and delivers on time look no further!

    I called Smarterlec after hours at 7:30pm on a weekday. Peter was very kind, professional, and fast to find the problem. Would definitely recommend him!!

    Smarterlec's Peter Clarke has been my "go to" electrician for over 10 years. He's installed LED lights throughout my house, smoke detectors, air conditioners and replaced GPOs when needed. He also installed an ethernet connection from my NBN modem through to my home office (at the rear of the house). At his suggestion, he installed a small 6-panel solar system for me. It paid for itself in quick time - and I have been getting "free" electricity ever since. I recommend Peter to anybody who is looking for competitive rates and quality work.

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 Smarterlec have a verified ABN?
Yes. Smarterlec has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
