Quick answers
How much does an electrician cost per hour?+
Typical rates are $80 to $130 per hour plus a callout fee of $70 to $130. Small fixed jobs like replacing a power point usually land between $120 and $200 all-in. Quotes are free from most electricians, so compare before you book.
Can I do any electrical work myself?+
Almost none. In Australia it is illegal to do your own fixed wiring, including replacing a light switch or power point. You can change a light bulb or plug in appliances, and that is about it. Unlicensed work risks fines, fire and voided insurance.
How do I know an electrician is licensed?+
Ask for their licence number and check it on your state's licensing register (for example, in South Australia use the SA Government trade licence search at sa.gov.au). Legitimate sparkies expect to be asked and will provide a Certificate of Compliance for notifiable work.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?+
If your board still has ceramic fuses, has no safety switches (RCDs), or trips constantly when you run several appliances, it is due. Upgrades typically cost $800 to $2,000 depending on the board and wiring condition.
