The everyday jobs

A fuse and asensor lightis a real job.

Somebody wrote a Google review about it, which tells you something about how the small jobs get treated here. Plenty of electricians would rather not come out for a power point or a fan. We would, because the person who needs a power point today is the person who needs a switchboard, a battery or a rewire next year, and they remember who turned up.

Fault finding is the one that most people ring about: a circuit that trips, half the lights out, an outlet that has stopped working. We find the cause rather than resetting the breaker and leaving, and we tell you what we found and what it will cost before we fix it.

What we are asked for

The jobs thatfill the week.

Power points and circuits

Extra outlets where you need them, USB points, outdoor and garage power, and dedicated circuits for the things that keep tripping the shared one.

Fault finding and repairs

Tripping circuits, dead outlets, flickering lights and buzzing fittings traced to the cause and fixed, with the cause explained.

Safety switches

Testing the RCDs you have, adding them where you have none, and finding out why one keeps tripping instead of just resetting it.

Smoke alarms

Replacing alarms past their ten-year life, hard-wiring and interconnecting them to the current rules, and testing them properly.

Ceiling and exhaust fans

Ceiling fans with and without lights, bathroom and laundry exhaust fans, and rangehoods, hung level and wired to a switch that makes sense.

Appliance connections

Ovens, induction cooktops, hot water systems, air conditioners and spas connected on the right circuit with the right isolation.

The small job that got a review

I had DJM Electrical out to replace a fuse and fit a motion sensor light. They were on time, did the work without hassle, and charged a fair price.

Good to know

Everydayelectricalquestions.

Do you really come out for small jobs?

Yes. A single power point, a fan, a fuse, a sensor light. If we are in your area we will do our best to fit small jobs around the bigger ones, and sometimes that means the same day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We tell you how the job is priced before anyone comes out, so there is no surprise on the invoice. For a small job that is usually a straightforward figure over the phone; for anything bigger Dak comes and quotes it in writing.

My safety switch keeps tripping. What is wrong?

Something on that circuit is leaking current to earth: a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor outlet, a damaged cable, or an old fitting. Resetting it is not a fix. We find which one it is and sort it.

What are the smoke alarm rules for an existing home?

Alarms are required on every level, and the units themselves have a life of around ten years before they should be replaced. If yours are older, battery-only, or not interconnected, we can bring the house up to the current standard in a visit.

Can I do minor electrical work myself?

In NSW, no. Anything beyond changing a globe or plugging something in has to be done by a licensed electrician, and insurance claims can turn on it. It is not worth it for the price of a power point.

Can you connect my new oven or cooktop?

Yes. Ovens, induction cooktops, rangehoods and hot water systems often need their own circuit and sometimes a bigger supply. We check the board, run what is needed and connect it properly with the isolation the rules require.

Do you do ceiling fans?

Lots of them. With or without lights, indoor and outdoor rated, on a wall control or a remote, hung level and quiet. If there is no wiring where the fan is going, we run it.
