Recent Electricians reviews in West Melbourne

I'm really absolutely thrilled with the work that Thiwanka did. Came in to a half finished job and was able to finish it off beautifully. He picked up on mistakes that were done previously and fix them as well. Very honest and forthcoming with the work he was doing, kept me in the loop and I'm very thrilled with the end result. I'll be using him again for any future work I have planned.

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.

Replacement of switches on new Tiffany Lamps (x2).

$300

Tarneit VIC, Australia

29th Dec 2024

Hi Adam, I recently purchased just before Christmas, two new Tiffany lamps. They have light in the base with two lights on the top piece (a picture can be provided if needed). A day after purchase, I heard a crackling sound from one of the switches, then flickering of the lights. Obviously a short in the wiring at the switch site. Both are now off and unplugged as I don't want to risk a fire. I love the lamps, so a return is not an option to the seller. Looking for someone to fix and do it right. Ultimately, if possible since these need to be fixed anyways, hoping to put in a tri-light solution. i.e. 1. all lights on, 2. only bottom light on, 3. only top lights on, 4. all lights off. Not sure if this is possible, but willing to pay a little extra should this be doable. Either way, the switches need to be replaced to code and give peace of mind they won't start a fire. No rush on this, looking at mid January for this job. Thanks. Budget (next page) based on whether just switches replaced (up to $200) or full rewiring to include the tri-light option as proposed earlier (up to $400). Next page is the median.
