100 percent recommended. Tim was prompt, professional and super knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to fix our nbn issue caused by our cats and came super short notice/after hours so we didn’t have to be without internet. He didn’t have an issue with the crazy state of our house mid mass clean out. The job was a little less straightforward than originally thought but he spent the extra time and effort making sure it was all 100 percent working, and guaranteed his work. We will definitely be using him again for any further requirements.

$300

Ainslie ACT 2602, Australia

26th Jun 2026

we’re looking for an electrician to inspect a potential electrical issue at our home. We recently had a plug-in double adaptor partially melt/burn while running a panel heater, so we’d like the affected outlet and circuit checked for any damage. Separately, we’ve also had ongoing issues with certain circuits tripping unexpectedly and occasional difficulty running multiple appliances without breakers tripping, so we’d like a broader assessment of whether there are any underlying circuit, load, or wiring issues.
