Licensed Electrician – Install Outdoor 10A Power Point

$250

Armadale VIC 3143, Australia

3rd Nov 2026

Hi, I'm looking for a licensed electrician to provide a written quote and install a standard 10A power point inside my ground-floor garage for charging a Tesla Model 3 using a Tesla Mobile Connector. **Important – Victorian EV Charging Requirements** A dedicated wall-mounted EV charger (such as a Tesla Wall Connector) is NOT required. The Victorian Government confirms that EVs can be charged using a standard Australian 10A household power point (Level 1 charging). Reference: https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/renewable-energy/zero-emission-vehicles/charging-your-electric-vehicle The installation must still comply with Victorian electrical safety requirements, applicable Australian Standards and Tesla's instructions, including any dedicated-circuit requirements. **Existing Setup:** - Existing outdoor power point on the upper-floor balcony, connected to my electricity meter. - Garage located approximately two levels below. - Preferred cable route is vertically down the external brick wall using protective conduit. - New standard 10A outlet to be installed inside the garage, protected from weather. **Scope of Work:** 1. Assess whether the existing balcony circuit can safely support regular overnight EV charging. 2. Provide a written quotation for landlord and body corporate approval. 3. Install a standard indoor 10A outlet using the existing circuit only if compliant. 4. Ensure appropriate electrical protection, earthing and testing. 5. Provide a Victorian Certificate of Electrical Safety. **Budget: Maximum $250**, including quotation, labour, materials, GST and certification. I am renting, so installation can only proceed after landlord and body corporate approval. If a dedicated circuit or additional electrical work is required, please explain before proceeding. I am seeking a safe, compliant and cost-effective solution without purchasing a wall-mounted EV charger. Photo of proposed installation route attached. Thank you.

Diagnose LG Air Conditioner Error Code C5

$120

South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

29th Oct 2026

My LG air conditioner recently stopped working. The inside unit works for about 5 minutes before switching itself off and displaying error code C5. The outdoor unit doesn't seem to come on, and the fan doesn't move. I've power cycled both units with no success, and there's no physical damage anywhere. I need a licensed technician to diagnose and assess the problem, so I can decide whether it's worth repairing, or if it needs to be replaced. It's in my apartment and the unit is getting close to 20 years old. I've included photos of the units and model numbers etc. Located in South Yarra and there's free visitor parking inside the apartment building for vehicles under 2.2m height. Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks 😊

Rajnish was friendly, professional and helped me to identify the issue with my air conditioner, thanks 😊

Electrician to replace oven function selector switch

$100

Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

27th Oct 2026

Looking for a electrician to replace the function selector switch on our built-in Belling IB609FP electric oven. The function knob snapped off and the switch shaft broke flush with the switch, so the switch needs replacing. Everything else on the oven was working fine before this. We have the replacement part ready (Glen Dimplex part [22102002 / 20884983]). We believe the job may involve: - Isolating power and sliding the oven out of the cabinet - Removing the control panel (it has a glass front, so please take care) - Swapping the old switch for the new one and transferring the wiring - Refitting the oven and testing each function We are open to fixing it other ways though if you can think of any. Photos of the broken knob and switch are attached.
