Why use a Licensed Electrical Contractor?
Licensed Electrical Contractors in NSW:
- Carry insurances to protect against accidental property damage, injury and death
- Must offer Warranty
- Often have a reputation to maintain
- Are regulated by the Department of Fair Trading, providing you with protection against:
- Faulty or non-compliant workmanship
- Contractual and/or payment disputes
Use of a Licensed Electrical Contractor:
- Will not void Manufacturer’s Warranties (while manufacturer’s instructions are followed)
“In the event of a fire or accident which is attributed to electrical work completed by someone other than a Licensed Electrical Contractor, your home and contents and/or property insurance may be void.”
If your “electrician” does not hold an Electrical Contractors Licence:
- They are not insured against the risk of damage, injury or death
- They cannot issue a valid Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work
- They do not submit their work for inspection
- In the event of a fire or accident, their work may void your property insurance
- Manufacturer’s warranties are void for all electrical items they install
- If they damage your property or their work is faulty, they may disappear (fly by night)
- They may not have a reputation to maintain which may be reflected in their workmanship
- They may not be aware of current Australian Standards, Local Rules or Safe Practices
How long will it take to fix my electrical issues?
Typically, electrical issues can be resolved within an hour or so. But it will obviously depend on the type of problem. A whole-house electrical upgrade is certainly not going to be done in an hour, day, sometimes not even a week! The electrician will first have to diagnose the issue and then apply a fix. If the issue is not simple, they may have to return at a different date for an installation or full-service repair.
