Electrician to check apartment.

$250

Melbourne VIC, Australia

31st Oct 2025

Melbourne CBD Warehouse apartment conversion Loss of power to power points and for hot water. Lighting is ok. This occured following the heavy rain earlier in the week and some water entered the apartment. The switches don't appear to be tripped. Unsure if this affects the levels below or only level 2 (top).

Matthew was very responsive to my late-night listing. He arrived on time, less than 12 hours later, and quickly found the fault and solved the problem.
