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 Hillsborough
Before booking a electrician for lighting, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.

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.
