    The guys from Distinction Electrical; Benson, Patrick and Jimmy are a great team. Very professional, courteous and thorough. We had a new Goodwe battery installed to complement our current 13.32kW solar system. All done expertly and with no fuss. Very thorough and easy to understand explanation on our installation options, and also how to get the best from the Goodwe App to monitor our system's performance. Thank You for a great job! Ian & Ann, Victor Harbor.

    We just had our Sigenergy battery installed, and we feel so lucky to have Benson help us with the whole process. From the very first quote to the final installation, everything was smooth and stress-free. Benson was patient, thoughtful, and truly cared about making sure we understood every detail. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone responsible and trustworthy!

    Benson was excellent to deal with. He is prompt and has superb communication. His product knowledge was wonderful and it is great to deal with the person who tailor makes your system to suit your needs and then he installs it. We already have recommended Distinction Electrical to family and friends and will continue to do so. Anne

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