Electrician Needed – Fuse Trips When Using Washing Machine and Dryer
$300
Ainslie ACT 2602, Australia
6th Aug 2025
We’re looking for a licensed electrician to help diagnose and resolve a recurring issue at our home. Whenever we run the washing machine and dryer at the same time, one particular fuse keeps tripping. The house is older, so it may be a wiring, load, or switchboard issue—we’re not sure. We’d like someone to: • Inspect the current setup (switchboard, outlets, appliances) • Identify the cause of the fuse tripping • Recommend and carry out a safe, compliant fix Job ideally suited to someone experienced with older homes and electrical load balancing. Thanks!

Replace power point covers
$250
Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
14th Jul 2025
Updated 21/07. Please update quote! Replace 11 old PowerPoints. Some will require just a new cover, others are mounted in brick walls and do not have a cover - new cover will need to be wired in existing hole. Tasker must have electrician certification. I will confirm how many need new covers vs wiring. At this stage, looking like 5 wiring into brick, 6 replacement covers on plasterboard. Please quote taking into account the split between rewiring and just a cover swap. I will provide the configuration of covers needed with the tasker i.e. double/single plug, light switches only etc.
