What do electrician services include?

Our local electrical contractors can handle all electrical projects, be it for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. If you are building from scratch, they can help construct an efficient electrical framework for you. They can also establish new electrical wirings and control systems, and test the electrical flow for your safety. 

As for existing properties, electricians can routinely maintain, repair and upgrade your power and control systems whenever needed. They can also handle electrical equipment and machinery for factories and manufacturing plants. Here is the better overview of our electrical services depending on your job requirements:

Domestic electrician

Electrical safety is paramount when it comes to your home, and that's when residential electricians play a vital role. They can help make sure that all electrical components, including wires and cables, are in good condition to avoid any incidents that could put you and your family at risk.

Domestic electricians can establish power points and safety switches to support your household appliances. They can also assist with installing various electrical appliances such as electric heaters and showers, in case you're looking to upgrade or planning a renovation.

Commercial electrician

Not to be confused with domestic electricians, commercial electricians are mostly involved in large-scale projects for buildings and various businesses like restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices. Depending on your establishment's requirements, they can fix lighting, heating, and cooling systems or install fire alarms and other security equipment if needed.

Industrial electrician

For tasks that involve higher voltage and control systems and more complex machinery, it's better to connect with an industrial electrician with a white card . Their services include electrical construction and maintenance for industries like factories and plants. They don't just install lights and electrical heaters. Most of the time, they also deal with different types of manufacturing equipment, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Industrial electricians can also troubleshoot problems and repair them as they see fit. They can even create tailored maintenance programs for your electrical motors and generators.

Emergency electrician

The moment you sense something odd with your sockets and safety switches, or notice a burning smell, spark, or flickering of lights, get in touch with a local electrician immediately for emergency repairs. With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy! You won't even have to worry about not having any power tools on hand–most sparkies are already equipped with their own professional power tools and test instruments, which they can bring with them for any service that you may need.

Take apart electric desk (Desky)

$140

Kambah ACT, Australia

23rd Jul 2024

Hi There, I am moving overseas next week and am shipping my beloved Desky Desk to my final destination on Monday 29 July. Desky is an Australian brand that makes high quality electric desks. I need someone to disassemble the desk before it is picked up in its parts on Monday 29 July. I paid someone from Airtasker to put the desk together and it took about 90mins. The desk has two parts, the sit stand desk itself (wood surface, electric legs), and the integrated cable and power channel below the desk. I have included links to both more information on the desk. You can click through to the specifications tab and find the manual for both parts of the desk and job. Desk: https://desky.com.au/products/dual-ergo-edge-sit-stand-desk Integrated Cable and Power Channel: https://desky.com.au/products/elsafe-power-board I would prefer you have some sort of experience with this kind of job in the past. Look forward to hearing from you.

Michael treated the dismantling of my desk with the care that it deserved. He was polite and efficient and took good care in getting the job done. He made sure putting the desk back together will be straight forward on the other end. Thank you Michael.

Replace 8 powerpoints and approx 22 halogen downlights with LED

$5

Watson ACT, Australia

16th Jun 2024

I have about 22 halogen downlights that I would like to replace with LEDs. I'm keen to keep the transformers separate from the light fitting, but the current transformers can't handle the low LED power draw. Happy for you to supply and fit these. I also have about 8 powerpoints that need replacing, I have purchased the replacements, so you only need to fit. When quoting, could you please specify how much you charge per light and per powerpoint? All lights and powerpoints are easy to get to.

Hrvoje was great with communications, did excellent work and at a good price. Would strongly recommend.
