Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

Hi, I have a new café sign being installed outside, so I’ll need an electrical point on the wall for the sign. There is already an electrical point on the other wall that may be able to be used. I also have some other electrical work that needs to be done. The area outside the café is quite dark at night, so I’d also like to discuss some options for adding more lighting outside, including lighting for the new sign and the café frontage. Could you please have a look and let me know what you recommend and provide a quote for the work?

Electrician to separate bathroom light and exhaust fan switches

$200

Melbourne CBD, VIC

14th Sep 2026

Looking for a licensed electrician to modify the existing bathroom switch/wiring so the exhaust fan and bathroom light can be controlled independently. They are currently connected to the same switch. I’d like them rewired to separate switches so I can turn the light and fan on/off individually. Please assess the existing wiring and switch arrangement, supply/install the appropriate switch mechanism and any minor materials required, test the installation, and provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety. If additional cabling or more substantial work is required, please advise before proceeding.

Giuseppe was excellent to deal with. He arrived perfectly on time, communicated promptly throughout, and made the whole process very straightforward. His pricing was very reasonable & there was no fuss about parking or unnecessary back-and-forth beforehand. He got straight to the job, and finished in no time. He was clearly skilled and competent, as well as friendly, intelligent & easy to deal with. Would happily use him again & highly recommend!

Licensed Electrician Needed

$500

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

23rd Mar 2026

Need a licensed electrician to inspect my 2-bedroom apartment living area and confirm whether it is possible to create/provide an electrical point for installing a chandelier. If feasible, I would like: • 1 chandelier installed (see attached picture) • 4 wall lights replaced and installed and also install a Kitchen Chimney and remove old ones. Property is on the 24th floor, directly opposite Southern Cross Station. I would prefer an inspection first before proceeding with the full installation. Please quote separately for: • inspection/feasibility check (ideally NO CALL OUT FEE is desirable) • installation work if feasible

Couldn’t be happier with the job. He installed a chandelier, 4 lights, 2 panel heaters, and also changed a few globes and switches for me. The work was done professionally, efficiently, and to a very high standard. Everything was completed neatly and properly, and the overall experience was smooth and stress-free. I would happily give 5 stars and highly recommend him for any electrical work.
