    EJ Lack Electrical are always punctual, neat and tidy when onsite, and they do excellent work. They were even able to quickly fix an electrical issue in our house that the prior owner was unable to fix with multiple attempts by different electricians/trades! They are a great local company that really look after their clients.

    The service from the EJLack team was a supportive and easy going experience. I was needing additional powerpoints to be installed in various rooms and a safety check across the entire house. It was great to be able to talk out my options and receive advice on what would best work for my configuration. Prompt, friendly, fair prices and will use for my future electrical needs.

    I wanted some ceiling fans installed in my apartment. Anthony from E J Lack assisted me via lots of correspondence and answered all of my questions as i was without any experience or knowledge about what was involved with ceiling fan installation. An option provided to me was to purchase fans wholesale through them. This was a great option as the fans are sleek, modern and come with a 7 year warranty (and i couldn't be bothered shopping for other ones!). The electricians turned up precisely on time, were friendly, polite, explained everything, were quick and efficient. All done very quickly. These guys are easy to communicate with, respond quickly and trustworthy. Would recommend using them.

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.
