3rd Dec 2025

Hi have a fair few electrical related projects coming up in our music recording studio in Surry Hills One is urgent but simple and then some larger stuff which we are now mapping out and want to get in some quotes and assess as some involve electrical but also some basic heavy lifting and mounting of large ceiling panels with lighting etc Urgent task 1 Looking to replace our air conditioning manual switch with an automatic timed switch. Ideally would love a suggestion as to best option. Wifi capability would be great. Or if not sure, we have a few suggestions and will just need you to install it This is urgent BUT we also have a bigger project for the right tradey. Tasks ( longer term) We’re planning a few upgrades to our recording studio space in Surry Hills and would like a quote for electrical and installation work. The scope mainly involves new power points, lighting adjustments, and mounting equipment. Ideally, someone who can handle both electrical work and installation of heavy roof/wall-mounted materials. The panels to be installed on the roof are going in to gyprock, there are studs which need to be located and carefully drilled in to, so someone with experience in this area is preferred. We’d suggest a site visit beforehand so we can walk you through the space and finalise a plan to complete everything efficiently. Look forward to hearing from you asap Joe

Replace Old Pin Light Fittings with Modern Screw-In Fixtures

$300

Surry Hills, New South Wales

26th Oct 2025

I have six light fittings that currently use 2-pin (push-in) sockets, but I have GU10 twist-style globes that I want to use instead. Each fitting appears to have an individual transformer in the ceiling. If possible, I’d like to keep using my existing GU10 smart bulbs (IKEA Tradfri). I already use these in other fixtures in the house and they’re smart lights controlled in the IKEA app, so ideally new fixtures will be compatible with those screw-in E16 globes. I need someone to replace these old fittings with a modern fixture that’s compatible with standard screw-in globes (or advise the best fixture type and install it). I don't know if ceiling access is possible. Looking for: • Qualified electrician • Supply + install new fittings • Ensure everything is safely wired and compliant Please include an approximate total cost (labour + parts) in your offer.
