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 Seven Hills
Seven Hills (postcode 2147) is in the central part of Blacktown City. An established suburb close to Parramatta, with a railway station and a mix of housing.
Homes in established suburbs vary widely in age and construction. If you know roughly when your home was built, or what has been renovated since, mention it in the job description: it helps a business understand what they're likely to find.
In an established home, the switchboard and wiring may date from when the house was built. If you're adding air conditioning, solar or an EV charger, ask an electrician to check the board and whether safety switches cover all circuits.
Before adding air conditioning, solar, an induction cooktop or an EV charger to a home in Seven Hills, 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.
