Electricians Turramurra FAQs

There's no charge for the visit itself, and that stands even if you decide not to book the job. We come out, look at the work and hand you a written price with no call-out fee attached.

The price gets set down on paper before we start, and it's exactly what you pay once the job's finished, nothing extra tacked on. Should we uncover anything the original inspection didn't show, we down tools and talk you through it first.

It's $50 off the first job we do for you, taken straight off the written quote you'd get anyway. The same $50 applies whether it's a single power point or a bigger job like a switchboard upgrade.

Only if the scope itself changes, never on the price we've already agreed. If a switchboard or wall turns up a genuine surprise, work pauses, you get a plain explanation, and we settle a new figure before anything continues.

NSW law doesn't allow it, and it's not just red tape. DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW for anything beyond very minor tasks, and notifiable jobs must be completed and certified by a licensed electrician.

It sets the rules every electrician has to meet on circuit design, switchboards and wiring methods. That's what makes a property genuinely safe, not just technically working.

A Certificate of Compliance is the paperwork confirming notifiable work meets AS/NZS 3000, lodged with NSW Fair Trading once the job's done. You'll get a copy for any job that requires one, worth keeping for insurance or resale.

A safety switch (RCD) monitors the current in a circuit and shuts it off almost instantly the moment it senses current leaking to earth, which is what actually stops a shock. NSW rental and safety rules expect a safety switch on every circuit.

Standard bookings run Monday to Friday, which is the best window for a routine job like a light fit-off or a power point. A genuine electrical emergency still gets a response any day, including weekends, because a dead switchboard doesn't wait for business hours.

Sparking points, a burning smell, exposed wiring, or the power out across the whole property once you've checked the switchboard are all good reasons to call straight away. If in doubt, turn it off at the switchboard and call us rather than waiting it out.

Ring (02) 9538 7356 and we'll book you in for a time that suits, no call centre or script involved. A reminder text lands the day before so the job's never a surprise.

Whoever answers puts you straight through to a licensed electrician, who runs through what's going on in plain English rather than jargon. From there it's either a quick phone fix, a booked visit, or an urgent call-out if the job genuinely can't wait.

Turramurra runs from pre-1940 Federation homes through 1940s-60s builds to later infill near the station, and each era wires differently. A Federation place with its original circuits gets treated differently to a rewire in a 1970s build.

Well enough to know the shops around the station from the bushland edge of Sheldon Forest toward the Lane Cove valley. We're on these streets most weeks, not just when the phone rings.

A lot of the older housing stock still runs on ceramic fuses instead of modern breakers and safety switches. Fuses don't trip the way a safety switch does, so an upgrade is often the safety fix, not just a modernisation.

Turramurra, plus the neighbouring suburbs of Pymble, Wahroonga, St Ives, Gordon and Killara. Call (02) 9538 7356 if your street isn't on that list and we'll confirm whether we cover it.
