Electrician - install ceiling fans in 2nd floor apartment

$25

Collingwood VIC, Australia

11th Nov 2025

The budget I've listed is for site inspection/quotes only. Once inspection is done, then sparky will quote me. Looking to install 4-5 DC ceiling fans in our second floor apartment (of a three storey building, so no roof access). Build is about 2010. Fans will need to be fixed to joist or noggin, needing a support bracket/similar. The ceiling is not a concrete slab; it's plaster. There are downlights in every room, so lights and fan via remote control is fine. There are also fire sprinklers in every room, so contractor will need to comply with those regulations. Ideally, a sparkly who has this experience is ideal for this job. If you do not have experience retrofitting ceiling fans, this is not the job for you. Thanks a million!

Hello, We are looking for a licensed A-Grade Electrician to attend our retail store, in Moonee Ponds, to diagnose and repair a faulty track light. The Issue: One of the black, cylindrical track spotlights on our main sales floor flickers and makes a crackling sound when touched or moved.

The light specification is: Spock Sunny Lighting, LED Track Light Single Phase, Black, Warm White. Model: SUN-STR4866 Con. (See attached spec sheet). 5. Testing the light thoroughly to confirm it is secure, safe, and operates correctly without flickering or noise. Please note: The successful contractor must be able to source and supply a replacement light fitting if required. The cost for this item should be included in your offer. Requirements: - MUST be a fully licensed and insured A-Grade Electrician in Victoria. - You must have your own tools, including an A-frame ladder appropriate for a high commercial ceiling. (Approximate ceiling height 4.5 meters) - Experience with diagnosing faults in commercial LED track lighting systems is essential. Please state your availability in your offer. Please provide a comprehensive quote for the complete job. Your offer should include all labour costs AND the potential cost of supplying one new track light fitting. Thank you.
