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.

Electrician needed - some power is out

$200

Caves Beach NSW, Australia

Some power sockets and some lights are not working - I think there may have been a power surge or something related to the thunder and lightning storms. It’s a holiday home so we’re not there all of the time. Arrived last weekend and all power was off. Some fuses blown, but I have fixed. Power restored to some of the sockets but not all. Need an electrician to take a look and work out what’s wrong. Needs to be on Thursday 30th January or Monday 3rd Feb so I am there to let you in.

Super friendly and efficient. Sorted the problem out. Great job!

Find NBN install, move lounge, remove key, assess electric roller door

$150

Cooks Hill NSW, Australia

16th Dec 2024

Four jobs to be completed Tuesday 17th, Wed 18th or Thursday 19th in Cooks Hill. * Move two single seater modular lounge pieces from garage up 15 stairs into my unit. Ideally with a trolley * Remove broken key from my garage door (see photo) You would need tools as the key is right inside the lock * Check out my garage door and advise what roller door I can install * Find my NBN connection and connect to internet. I would need someone who is experienced: a cabler, NBN technician or electrician. Please see photo (the wall plate next to Foxtel is empty and it may be the phone socket has fallen into the back of the wall) However it may be more involved than this, I am unsure. I have found no other phone sockets in my house, garage or power room of my block of units. My Broadband provider has told me Fibre to the Node is connected to my building and I should have a phone socket in my unit.

Great work and a good guy. Would recommend
