    Just like to give a big vote of thanks Coughran Electrical for the recent solar and battery installation they did for me. My system is 24kWh of Solar (to complement the existing 6.6 kWh), a 40 kWh Sigenergy Battery and 12kWh inverter. We are large power users with a pool, ducted air (two systems, 12kW & 16kW), 5 fridges, an EV, hot water and all the other bits that make up our house. The orientation of our home is aligned to take advantage of the view, and not ideal for solar. Anthony came to site and came up with a design that maximises the solar input - 4 strings on 3 orientations. Anthony , Toby and the team turned up when they said and worked tirelessly to complete the whole installation in 3 days. These boys don't knock off at 3:30, they keep going until the job is done. The system recommended and installed works a treat, and the Sig App is comprehensive and allows the system to be very effectively managed (running both A/C units and charging the Tesla sucks up a lot of power). Our average daily usage is about 48 kWh, and the highest we've recorded is 140 kWh - both A/C's running all day. The solar and battery do it with ease. We've had one bill so far from our power supplier - $39 - and that is due to the $50 per month supply charge that we all get stitched up with. All in all a good company to deal with, single point responsibility and a good product. Thanks Anthony and team for a great job. Regards, Ian Williams

    We started to investigate Solar when our electricity bill just got out of control. We are a household of 3 and we predominately work from home. I engaged online and had arranged for 2 suppliers to visit and guide us along the path to Solar Power. They were a little slow in engaging with us and I got some advise from another couple of locals and decided to contact Coughran Electrical as they are local to us and had worked with our friends. Andrew Spargo was out the next day and had a plan and quote in place the next very day which was designed specifically for our needs and budget. Work began within the week and although we had some weather interruptions the work was completed within a few weeks. The whole team at Coughran Electrical had a great work ethic and were totally professional. Thank you to Anthony and the team for getting us to be virtually living off grid. Mark and Anne

    We had a new air conditioner installed, and another serviced. Dealing with Sophie in the office was a pleasure, as was meeting their technician Daniel. Both were polite, pleasant and very efficient.

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.
