I have two electrical jobs that I would like quoted separately. **Job 1 – Add downlights on the second floor** I have two rooms, each with a single downlight installed, and I would like to add two additional downlights to each room. * **Room 1:** The ceiling holes have already been cut and the downlights are already in place. The plugs just need to be installed and connected. * **Room 2:** The ceiling holes need to be cut, the downlights installed, and the plugs connected. This is a townhouse, and the work is on the second floor with full access to the ceiling space. **Job 2 – Add downlights and dimmer on the first floor** * Install 4 additional downlights on the first floor. * There is no ceiling access from above; however, the new lights are only about 1 metre from the existing downlights. * Replace one existing light switch with a dimmer switch. Could you please provide: 1. A quote for **Job 1 only**. 2. A quote for **both Job 1 and Job 2 together**. Please also specify whether your quote includes the supply of the downlights and dimmer switch, or if it is for labour only.

Existing GPO has TPS wire only. 2. 5. & 8.

The red line on plan represents VIR / TPS wiring which look like they are all connected. TPS must be clipped properly to sub floor bearer. Lots of electrical work to be done on this house.

Looking for a licensed electrician to supply and install a 4-point power outlet (4 GPO) in place of an existing single power point.

Scope of works: * Supply a white 4-GPO power point. * Remove existing single power point. * Install new 4-GPO power point. * Test all outlets and ensure everything is working correctly. * Dispose of old fitting if required. Notes: * No wall repairs, patching, plastering or painting will be required. * Photos of the existing outlet and the style of outlet I’m looking for are attached. * Looking for a neat, straightforward installation with minimal fuss. I’ve listed this job at $120, so please keep quotes realistic and close to budget where possible.
