Replace faded switches & Plugs. Plus 2X240-12v AR111 transformers.

$500

Kingston ACT 2604, Australia

30th Oct 2025

Hi, we are preparing for an apartment sale and would like a qualified electrician to replace a bunch of faded light switches and powerpoints please. We also have 2 X AR111 240-12v transformers to replace, to fix two lights. (they are very easy to get access to - not buried in the ceiling). Double powerpoints: 21 Double light switches: 3 Single light switch: 5 Triple light switch: 3 Quad light switch: 2 Single RJ45 wall plug: 2 (I assume you can do the coax/RJ45 but if not please let me know and I won't buy them) Double RJ45 wall plug: 1 Combo coax/RJ45 wall plug: 1 Combo coax/double-RJ45 wall plug: 1 Combo quad coax/doubleRJ45 wall plug: 1 Some of the light switches are two-way (I think that is what you call it) - where 2 different switches control the same light. I am assuming that I just go to Bunnings and buy all of the switches/plugs, then you just install them, but please let me know if that is incorrect.

Install light switch

$200

Narrabundah ACT, Australia

2nd Sep 2025

I need a light switch installed to operate a porch light. There is no light switch currently - I think the feed may have been used for a different sensor light outside. So would probably need to run some new switch wire/cable down to the new switch. Older house/cabling so will need to come down the conduit. Photos show existing switch closest (all of which will need to be retained), and then the short journey outside to the porch. Please include price of all materials in quote.
