What do electrician services include?

Our local electrical contractors can handle all electrical projects, be it for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. If you are building from scratch, they can help construct an efficient electrical framework for you. They can also establish new electrical wirings and control systems, and test the electrical flow for your safety. 

As for existing properties, electricians can routinely maintain, repair and upgrade your power and control systems whenever needed. They can also handle electrical equipment and machinery for factories and manufacturing plants. Here is the better overview of our electrical services depending on your job requirements:

Domestic electrician

Electrical safety is paramount when it comes to your home, and that's when residential electricians play a vital role. They can help make sure that all electrical components, including wires and cables, are in good condition to avoid any incidents that could put you and your family at risk.

Domestic electricians can establish power points and safety switches to support your household appliances. They can also assist with installing various electrical appliances such as electric heaters and showers, in case you're looking to upgrade or planning a renovation.

Commercial electrician

Not to be confused with domestic electricians, commercial electricians are mostly involved in large-scale projects for buildings and various businesses like restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices. Depending on your establishment's requirements, they can fix lighting, heating, and cooling systems or install fire alarms and other security equipment if needed.

Industrial electrician

For tasks that involve higher voltage and control systems and more complex machinery, it's better to connect with an industrial electrician with a white card . Their services include electrical construction and maintenance for industries like factories and plants. They don't just install lights and electrical heaters. Most of the time, they also deal with different types of manufacturing equipment, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Industrial electricians can also troubleshoot problems and repair them as they see fit. They can even create tailored maintenance programs for your electrical motors and generators.

Emergency electrician

The moment you sense something odd with your sockets and safety switches, or notice a burning smell, spark, or flickering of lights, get in touch with a local electrician immediately for emergency repairs. With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy! You won't even have to worry about not having any power tools on hand–most sparkies are already equipped with their own professional power tools and test instruments, which they can bring with them for any service that you may need.

Move NBN Internal Box from Living Room to Garage

$120

Macgregor ACT 2615, Australia

6th Jan 2025

I’m looking for a NBN electrician to relocate my NBN internal box from the living room to the garage. The current locations of both the internal box and the external NBN box, as well as the desired new location for the internal box, are clearly marked in the attached photos. The connection from the NBN external box runs through the roof, which is accessible for a person to enter. The house is a wooden structure with plasterboard walls. Additionally, if possible, I’d like to install a new network wall socket at the current internal box location after the relocation. However, this is not included in the initial quote, as I’d like to decide based on the situation. Please let me know your availability. Thank you!

Handy person to fix two power points and hang picture ledges

$50

Dickson ACT 2602, Australia

31st Dec 2024

I have two power points that have randomly become unstuck. One appears to have just come unstuck from the wall and with the waterproofing bit I can't work out how to put it back in, the switches all work it's just unattached as per the pic. The other one is attached but the button that activated the bathroom fan isn't working, it's like the fan just isn't attached to the button which you can see from the flat button. These are issues in two separate bathrooms for clarity. I also need someone to hang four picture ledges, two sets of two next to each other. Happy if you want to quote just for one of the tasks, I also know it's going to cost more but no idea what so happy for quotes.

I didn't realise I didn't have the screws for the task and Jamal had brought everything I needed. He also had the switch needed to fix my light on hand. Thanks Jamal!

Move my fttn nbn roof cavity cabling into a different room.

$300

Ainslie ACT, Australia

25th Dec 2024

I have a FTTN nbn connection at my house. Currently it terminates in an inconvenient room. I would like you to move it to a different room. The house is old double brick. The cable can poke through the ceiling in the new room and run down the wall to a socket (conduit and socket must be supplied by tasker). Expect a clean looking finished end result in the original room and newly wired room.

Completely solved my network cable problem. Great communication and polite, friendly attitude! Will use again should the need arise. Very happy customer.

ELECTRICIAN: Suzuki Swift 2018 driver-side window not rising

$125

Braddon ACT 2612, Australia

30th Oct 2024

I will drive to you to minimise costs, and I can buy any parts required. Looking to pay for labour of diagnostics and repair only. Diagnostic information: This appears to be an electrical issue, most likely inside the door panel. The window cannot be forced upwards by hand - most likely by design. - The motor appears to activate for downwards pull, but no activation at all for upwards. - All other power windows are working fine, so it’s unlikely to be a blown fuse. - The auto-lowering does not seem to activate, neither does the rising. However, the lowering sounds like it does sometimes. - All other electricals in vehicle appear to be fine

Very informative, hardworking, helpful and honest
