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.

Install diffuser on down lights

$100

Docklands VIC, Australia

10th Jan 2025

I recently had downlights installed in my apartment but they’re quite dazzling and bright. To fix this I bought these diffusers but have no idea how to install them. (Photos of lights and diffuser sample attached) They either need to be cut to size and attached to the ceiling, above the light or have the light pulled down and installed between the light and the ceiling attachment. (When trying to pull down the lights they wouldn’t fully budge so didn’t want to force them, but maybe I’m just not doing it right). To be honest, I’m not sure how it’s done but I think it should be a fairly quick job for someone who knows what they’re doing. (If not that quick, I’m open to negotiate the price, just let me know). Initially I just have one job like this but another to come for whoever wants to do it.

Replace wired in smoke alarm

$100

Port Melbourne VIC, Australia

6th Jan 2025

Our old wired in smoke alarm is chirping at regular intervals. Last time this happened to another one we had to replace it as it is 20 years old. The old one in the pics is with the lights. The other pic is of the model we swapped too that covers carbon dioxide too. Cost is to do the work but you will also need to add on cost of the actual alarm for you to provide.

Very reliable and efficient. Great to do business with.

Install new oven (electrical)

$100

South Melbourne, Victoria

2nd Jan 2025

Removal of old oven, including power/electrical and install new oven. It's a 60cm oven. Original oven is connected to mains, the new one is a 240v wall socket (no need to install), just a safe removal of the old power cord. Needs to be a fully licensed electrician that can provide a legal invoice. New model is a Westinghouse WVE6314SD. I am happy to dispose of the old oven, however if you'd like you're more than welcome to it. It's is broken but may be good for parts.

Second time using Simon, and he's been a life saver again! Definitely recommend, great man and great sparky! 5 stars.

Electric recliner repair (switch replacement)

$125

Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

29th Dec 2024

I need a handyman that can fix electronics to obtain and solder a $6 Jaycar switch into my recliner sofa. https://www.jaycar.com.au/spdt-250v-3a-miniature-micro-switch-with-lever/p/SM1038 I have the part number and photos of how to fix but I'm not physically present at the moment so can't fit myself. The sofa is currently intact but stuck in an open position. It has two switches at each end (4x in total). One to open, one to close. Only one of these on one side has broken and this will need to be de-soldered and replaced with a new one. It took me around 1 hour when I did it previously. The fix can be crude as long as it works. It's not a precision soldering affair. Process: - Disconnect power pack - Flip sofa onto it's back by tilting it - pull back fabric on the broken side - use a stubby (or short) phillips screwdriver to undo the switch circuitboard - Desolder/cut off the broken switch - Remove the steel actuator lever off the new one (not needed) - Use pliers to trim tabs of the new one a little so it physically slots into the circuitboard holes - Resolder the new one in it's place - Refit is the reverse of removal, refit battery pack and test sofa (should work fine) Please refer previous work that you've completed in the response to the task. I'm looking for someone comfortable with soldering a simple circuit board (refer my pics). Apartment is located in Prahran, Melbourne, 3181.

JM fixed the electrics on my leather reclining sofa for me. The recliner was stuck in the up position. He replaced two micro-switches and without being asked also checked the wiring and found/fixed several spots where the wired had chafed. He re-insulated these and re-routed them so that they would not chafe again. He did this without being asked and for no extra charge. Very good comms, punctuality and quality of work. Will use again.
