    Just had my electrical box moved from interior to exterior. These guys were on time, super thoughtful ,polite and did a fantastic job. Zero mess after having to cut bricks ,go through walls. The invoice was reasonable and we had zero issues with work permits etc. would highly recommend them for any electrical job. This is the second time we have used them and both experiences were really good.

    Picture this, it's Friday afternoon, I change a flickering light globe, the new one is flickering as well, so I remove it and a chunk of broken plastic with a spring on it and some metal connections falls out of the bit where you screw the globe in, disaster. After a few phone calls with no answers I call A.S. Farr Electrical in North Hobart. I send them a few pics of my sad light fitting and WOW. Olivia and Frazer had my problem sorted within an hour. I received incredible service from this company, they really went the extra mile to help me. Thank you very much.

    Had a wonderful experience with this company after many disappointing experiences elsewhere. Reception were fantastic and communicated well. The electrician who came to assess the situation told me everything I needed to know in layman’s terms and arranged to come back and complete the works discussed shortly afterwards. Any extra issues were identified and prioritised with the option of pursuing those immediately or in the future. I am super impressed with the speed and quality of the work as well as the friendly attitude of all the staff I have spoken with. Highly recommend.

    We have used Farrs Electrical on 3 major house renovations over the past 10 years in & would not consider using any other Electricians now. Their pricing is appropriate, they will travel out of the city happily, we have never had any issues or concerns, they come complete the work & always to s very high standard. We are always listened to in relation to our electrical needs (sometimes tricky to achieve) & great advice always given. We have been also recommending them to our friends for many years now who have also been super happy. Our builder has started using them also. Staff friendly & professional, including admin staff also. Many thanks for the wonderful service provided.

    Very good quality work, friendly, prompt and reliable. We have used them a few times over the years. For a job this week, was pleasantly surprised that they took an old stove away for recycling when replacing with new and disposed of all the rubbish too - a huge plus

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.
