Enda is very very good at his job ( perfectionist) fixed 3 chandeliers and 3 lights on my kitchen bench. The job was so perfect, it wouldn’t have been better. He went up and beyond to ensure all furnitures are back in place and cleaned up, thank you very much for taking so much time and paying so much attention to details just to ensure the job was perfect. He is down to earth, very respectful and polite. Will definitely assign more jobs to him.

Electrician: mount 75” TV, power points & HDMI
$600
Towradgi NSW 2518, Australia
7th Sep 2026
Looking for an electrician for TV wall mounting, with all cables concealed for a clean finish and new PowerPoint. I already have the new 75-inch Hisense TV and Sanus fixed wall bracket, both pictured. The TV currently sitting on the cabinet is being replaced. Work required: 1. Install a new double power point behind the TV cabinet, concealed from view. There is an existing power point nearby on the adjoining wall—see photos. Please leave that existing outlet in place. 2. Install a new power point behind the wall-mounted TV, properly wired and positioned so the outlet and plug do not interfere with the fixed bracket. 3. Supply and install one quality HDMI cable concealed inside the wall, running from behind the TV down to behind the cabinet, with neat cable pass-through/brush plates at both ends. 4. Install the supplied bracket and mount the new TV, securely fixed to suitable wall structure, level and at an agreed height and position. Connect and test everything. Please include any additional person needed to lift and mount the TV safely. The aim is no visible hanging cables, extension leads across the floor or exposed surface conduit. Wall construction and the best concealed wiring route will need to be confirmed. Please quote for the complete job, including labour, electrical materials, HDMI cable, wall plates, fixings, any applicable GST and your Airtasker fees. TV and bracket are supplied by me.
