    Exemplary service. Josh was awesome at helping us navigate what we needed and directing us to the product that suited us best. His team went above and beyond during the install of fans, cameras, pendant lights, PowerPoints and down lights. They were extremely professional and respectful of my partner who was working from home that day, while taking the extra time to help us set up our security cameras on all devices we wanted. Josh kept us well informed with costs of different products allowing us to make the best possible decisions financially and logistically. I would recommend him and his team to anyone, and if you have to wait for his services, it is well worth it.

    We had an after hours call out by Josh at Active Electrical Contracting , he was quick to come out on a cold Sunday morning and attend to our faulty fuse connection to our house, he was friendly and professional and completed the electrical repair quickly, calling the supply company forwarding the necessary paperwork, arranging for them to reconnect power to the house. Thanks Josh i would recommend you to any of my family or friends as an honest reliable contractor.

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.
