Electrician Hornsby FAQs

Yes, there's no call-out fee to have someone come out and price the job. You get a fixed written figure before any work starts, and you're free to say no thanks.

No, coming out to look at the job and price it costs you nothing, whether it's one extra power point or a full switchboard upgrade. You only pay once you've said yes to the number.

Payment happens once the work is signed off and tested, against the figure you already agreed to. No hourly rates, no surprises on the invoice.

A sparkie sizes up the job on site, then hands you a fixed price in writing before anyone picks up a tool. If the job runs longer than planned, that price doesn't move.

It watches the circuit and trips power the instant current starts leaking where it shouldn't, which is what stops a wiring fault becoming a shock or a house fire. Older Hornsby homes built before they were mandatory often still don't have one on every circuit, and we fit them as standard.

Clipsal and Hager for switchgear, SAL and Beacon Lighting on fittings. Premium gear, not cheap imports, because a switchboard is not the place to cut corners.

No, DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW beyond the most basic tasks, and it can void your home insurance too. A licensed sparkie gets you a Certificate of Compliance instead of a risk.

Yes, NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, and we're a Master Electricians Australia member. Both are checkable, so verify us rather than take our word for it.

Yes, we can fit weekends in when a weekday just doesn't work for you. Genuine emergencies get a response any day, any hour.

Often same or next day for a standard booking, and sooner again for a real emergency. We'll give you an honest window when you call rather than a vague estimate.

A burning smell, sparking, arcing, or a safety switch that keeps tripping every time you reset it. Any of those means stop using the circuit and call us straight away.

Call (02) 9160 7653. Whoever answers works here and can talk through the job on the spot, then lock in a time that suits.

Yes, both. New apartment infill and home extensions along the rail corridor keep pushing switchboards past their original capacity, so we size the upgrade to what the renovation actually needs.

A lot of the older housing stock here still runs on ceramic fuse boards that predate circuit breakers and safety switches. Once a kitchen reno or a new appliance load goes in, that old board is usually the first thing to show strain.

Hornsby and the surrounding suburbs are our regular run, not an occasional detour. It keeps the response times honest and means the team already knows the local housing stock.

Hornsby plus Waitara, Asquith, Mount Colah, Normanhurst, Wahroonga and Berowra, all inside or bordering Hornsby Shire Council. Every one of those suburbs gets the same team and the same guarantee.
