About lighting
Swapping old halogen downlights for LEDs cuts their running cost by around 80 percent and removes a genuine ceiling fire risk. Electricians handle downlight conversions, new light points, dimmers, outdoor and garden lighting, and sensor floodlights. Batching a whole-house lighting job into one visit is far cheaper than doing rooms one at a time.
Getting quotes in City
When you enquire about lighting, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for lighting is flexible, include that in the City request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
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.
