Before you hire an electrician
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Key factors affecting electrical pricing:
- Cable run distance. Each metre of cable from the switchboard to the workpoint has a material and labour cost.
- Access. Running cable through existing walls requires either conduit on the surface or fish-wiring through cavities, both of which take longer.
- Switchboard condition. Some jobs need a board upgrade before additional circuits can be added.
- Compliance extras. Outdoor and wet-area work requires specific weatherproof fittings that cost more than standard indoor components.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring an electrician in Angus
Angus (postcode 2765) is in the northern part of Blacktown City, which includes the North West Growth Area. A semi-rural locality on the north-western edge of Blacktown City, with larger lifestyle properties.
Larger and semi-rural blocks can mean longer runs for pipes and cables, outbuildings, tank water or on-site sewage systems. Mention these in the job description, along with anything about access for vehicles and equipment.
On larger blocks, electrical jobs can include long cable runs to sheds and outbuildings, pumps, sub-boards and sometimes three-phase power. Describe any outbuildings and equipment in your request so the electrician can plan the job.
Before adding air conditioning, solar, an induction cooktop or an EV charger to a home in Angus, ask an electrician to check whether the switchboard can take the extra circuits. An older board with ceramic fuses and no safety switches may need replacing first.
What to put in your request
List what you need: the number of power points or lights, the appliance you're adding, or the fault you're seeing, such as a safety switch that keeps tripping. Mention the age of the home and whether the switchboard has safety switches, if you know. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask for the electrician's licence number and check it with NSW Fair Trading, get a written scope and quote, and confirm you'll receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work when the job is done. Ask whether patching walls and ceilings after cabling is included.
Licences and rules in NSW
Electrical wiring work in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician, who should give you a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) when the job is finished. Keep it with your property documents.
Electrical upkeep through the year
Test your safety switches regularly using the test button, and test smoke alarms and replace their batteries as the manufacturer recommends. If your switchboard is old, or you're planning to add solar, an EV charger or air conditioning, ask an electrician to check it first.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
