Your Questions, Answered

Yes. Weekend bookings run for planned electrical work, and genuine emergencies get an after-hours response any day of the week. Same crew, same fixed pricing, no weekend loading sprung on you at the end. If it's not urgent, a weekday booking is usually the quickest way to lock in a time.

Call (02) 9073 7836 and a real person answers, not a call centre reading from a script. We ask a few quick questions about the job, then book you in for a time that suits. Prefer to type it out? The contact form on this site reaches the same local team.

Sparking power points, burning smells, exposed wiring, or a switchboard that keeps tripping and refuses to reset. Total loss of power inside the house counts too, especially with kids, medical equipment or a hot Northern Beaches summer in play. If something electrical feels genuinely unsafe, that's the moment to call rather than wait.

There's no fixed promise on timing, but response is fast, often same or next day for standard bookings. Genuine emergencies jump the queue and get priority attention. The honest answer: call (02) 9073 7836 and we'll give you a real timeframe for your specific job, not a guess.

No, and that's the whole point of pricing it in writing first. What's on the invoice matches what you signed off on, not a number that crept upward once the panel was open. Should something truly unexpected show up mid-job, work pauses and you hear about it before another cent gets spent.

It's $50 knocked off the bill for anyone booking with us for the first time, applied when the invoice is settled. Standard residential electrical work qualifies, no hoops or hidden exclusions attached. Flag it at booking and it's already sorted by the time we arrive.

Payment happens on the day, after the work is done and you've had a chance to look it over. Card or bank transfer, whichever suits you. Because the price was fixed and written down before we started, there's no adjusting or haggling at this stage, just settling what was agreed.

Yes, no cost and no call-out fee just to have someone assess the job. We'll walk through what's involved and put a fixed price in writing before you commit to anything. Take the quote and book elsewhere if you want, that costs you nothing either.

Yes, both new-build wiring from the ground up and rewiring during a renovation. Streets backing onto John Fisher Park see as many knockdown rebuilds as anywhere else in Curl Curl, so switchboards, circuits and full fit-outs for a ground-up build are everyday work for us, not a specialty add-on.

This pocket runs from 1940s-1960s fibro and brick cottages that never got rebuilt through to fresh knockdown homes from the 2000s onward. We work across both ends, from bringing an ageing switchboard up to today's safety standard to wiring a brand-new build from scratch.

Curl Curl doesn't carry a heavy heritage overlay, but strata work is common. There are walk-up apartment blocks near the beach and lagoon alongside older fibro cottages, and we handle switchboard and common-area electrical work for both owners corporations and individual units.

Curl Curl, plus the surrounding Northern Beaches suburbs we work in regularly: Freshwater, Dee Why, Brookvale, Manly and Cromer. If your suburb isn't listed, call (02) 9073 7836 and ask, we cover more of the Northern Beaches than one page can list.

No. DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW for anything beyond very limited, low-risk tasks, and it's not worth the risk to your safety or your insurance anyway. Notifiable electrical work has to be done and certified by a licensed electrician. If in doubt, it needs a licensed sparky, not a weekend project.

A Certificate of Compliance is the paperwork proving the electrical work meets AS/NZS 3000 and has gone through NSW Fair Trading properly. Notifiable jobs come with one as standard, so there's nothing extra to request. Hang onto it, it matters for insurance claims and when the house eventually sells.

AS/NZS 3000 is the wiring rules, the Australian standard that governs how electrical installations get done safely and legally. Cable sizing, circuit protection and a safety switch on every circuit all fall under it. Every job we do follows it, tested before we sign off.

Yes. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, fully insured, and a Master Electricians Australia member on top of that. You can ask to see the licence on the day, and every job comes with a paper trail so there's proof of what was done.
