One number, everything electrical

Most customersstop keeping alist of trades.

Board, lights, fans, a rewire, the shop fit-out, the solar and the car charger. Once people have used us for a second thing they tend to stop searching, because the same crew that did the first job turns up for the next one and already knows the house.

Every job starts with Dak on site. He prices it, he runs it, and he is the one who answers when you ring about it later. Six separate Google reviews describe a second or third job with us, which is the only kind of review that proves anything.

A new switchboard with labelled RCD safety switches installed by DJM Electrical

Switchboard upgrades

Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, a board that trips every time the kettle and the heater run together. An upgrade gives every circuit its own RCD protection, the capacity for whatever you add next, and a certificate of compliance at the end.

Because we are Level 2 accredited, the consumer mains, service fuse and meter work that often comes with a board upgrade is done by the same crew on the same day.

  • RCD safety switches on every circuit
  • Asbestos-era panels replaced
  • Three-phase for induction, air conditioning and EV charging
  • Mains and metering handled in-house

New builds and renovations

We come in at the plan stage, not after the plasterboard is up. Rough-in, fit-off, lighting design, kitchen and bathroom circuits, smoke alarms, and the conduit that makes solar and an EV charger easy later.

We work alongside your builder and the other trades so the electrical never holds the job up.

  • Rough-in and fit-off on your builder's schedule
  • Lighting, power and data planned room by room
  • Interconnected smoke alarms to the current NSW rules
  • Solar-ready and EV-ready from day one

House rewires

Older Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter homes often still run on cotton-and-rubber wiring, unearthed circuits and ceramic fuses. A rewire replaces all of it, room by room, with as little mess as the job allows.

Full or partial, in stages if that suits the budget, and always finished with a tested, certified switchboard.

  • Full and partial rewires
  • Roof and subfloor access planned to keep patching small
  • Power kept on wherever we can
  • Tested, labelled and certified

Commercial electrical

Fit-outs, three-phase supply, switchboards, high-bay and LED lighting, emergency and exit light testing, and scheduled maintenance so faults get found before they stop trade.

Offices, hospitality, healthcare, retail and industrial sites across the region, with work timed around how you operate.

  • Fit-outs scoped and staged around trading hours
  • Three-phase power and distribution boards
  • Emergency and exit lighting tested to schedule
  • Maintenance programs every 6 to 12 months

Pre-purchase inspections

A building inspection does not always cover the electrical. We check the switchboard, wiring, safety switches, smoke alarms, power points and earthing, then give you a written report you can take to the negotiation.

Usually one to two hours on site, and if you go ahead with the purchase, you already know what the place needs.

  • Switchboard, wiring and RCD testing
  • Smoke alarm compliance
  • Written report with priorities
  • Homes, units and commercial property

LED downlights, pendants and feature lighting, outdoor and security lighting, pool and garden, warehouse high-bays, and the emergency and exit lights a business has to keep tested.

We help you pick fittings that suit the room, then install them so they look as good as the brochure.

  • Halogen to LED downlight swaps
  • Feature and pendant lighting
  • Sensor and security lighting

General electrical

Power points, fault finding, safety switches, smoke alarms, ceiling fans, ovens and cooktops, hot water, outdoor power. The jobs that are too small for some electricians get the same crew and the same standard here.

One customer had us out to replace a fuse and fit a sensor light, and wrote a review about it. That is the kind of job we mean.

  • Power points, USB outlets and extra circuits
  • Fault finding and repairs
  • Safety switch and smoke alarm testing
  • Ceiling fans and appliance connections

How we work

The same team,from the quoteto two years later.

Most of what goes wrong in this trade happens at the handovers: a salesperson quotes it, a subcontracted crew installs it, and nobody remembers the job when something needs fixing. We do not have those handovers.

Dak looks at it himself

The owner does the site visit, so the person pricing the job is the person who has to make it work.

Options in writing

The choices, what each costs, the warranties and the timeline. Then we leave you alone to think about it.

Our own crew does the work

The same faces job after job, which is why customers name them in reviews instead of naming the company.

Handed back clean

Roof, driveway, inside. One customer said we left it cleaner than we found it, and that is the idea.

The same number still works

Ring about a job we did two years ago and you get someone who was on it, with a 5-year workmanship warranty behind it.

Good to know

Questionspeople askbefore they ring us.

Do you really do small jobs, or only the big ones?

Both, and with the same people. A fuse and a sensor light is a real job we have done and been reviewed on. So is a full commercial fit-out. If it is electrical and it is in our area, ring us.

Who actually comes out to quote?

Dak, the owner. He does the site visit, works out what you need, and gives you the options in writing with what each one costs and why he would pick one over another. He is also the person running the job, so the price comes from the person who has to make it work.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NSW electrical contractor licence 354927C, Level 2 Accredited Service Provider AUB 6511 for work on the Ausgrid network, Solar Accreditation Australia S9022865, and fully insured. Every job finishes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.

What does the quote actually include?

A full breakdown: what you need and why, each item and what it costs, the warranties that come with it, and the timeline. If you want to compare us against someone else, that is the document to do it with. There is no deposit until you decide to go ahead, and nobody rings you twice a week.

What is the warranty?

Five years on our workmanship. Product warranties depend on what goes in and are listed on your quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you commit to anything.

Can you do the mains, meter and service fuse as well, or is that a separate contractor?

We can, because we are Level 2 accredited. Consumer mains, service mains, points of attachment, service fuses and metering are done by our own crew, and we deal with Ausgrid directly. One team, one quote, one day where it can be.

Where do you work?

We are family-run out of Warners Bay and cover Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and the Central Coast. If you are on the edge of that, ring and ask. The answer is usually yes.

How quickly can you get here?

We are local and generally quick, but we do not publish a turnaround we cannot promise every time. One customer rang at 8:30 in the morning and had Dak at the house before 11. If yours is urgent, call rather than email and we will do our best to prioritise it.
