26th May 2026

One of the protected power switches was triggered yesterday. I have unplugged all devices from the wall sockets and even switched each socket off manually in the affected rooms but I cannot switch the protected power switch back on.

Need someone who can come out to Newtown to fix this afternoon. 4pm or later. Thanks.

Electrician Needed

$150

Zetland NSW, Australia

21st May 2026

I need an electrician. The pendant light in the house was originally a 12V system, but due to issues with the LED light tubes, we replaced it with a new pendant light that needs to be connected directly to a 240V power supply. However, we discovered that the wiring coming down from the ceiling is already converted to 12V, so it is likely connected to a transformer somewhere in the circuit. The problem is that we have no idea where the transformer is located. We therefore need an electrician to investigate and resolve the issue.

Alex was extremely reliable, worked quickly, and solved the problem efficiently. The light installation looks beautiful, and he even cleaned and wiped everything down afterwards. He paid great attention to detail throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Need a licensed electrician to install a weatherproof outdoor power point on my apartment balcony. The new outlet would be installed underneath the existing AC unit area.

Please only respond if you are a licensed electrician and can provide licence details if required.

Some minor electrical work

$350

Woolloomooloo NSW, Australia

5th May 2026

We live in a 3 story mini terrace home. The middle floor was originally 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet room. We have now knocked down the wall between the two bedrooms to make it into one master bedroom. Before the wall came down, each of the 2 bedrooms had a PowerPoint and a ceiling fan with light (both have stopped working and replacements have been purchased. We need a licensed electrician to help install the replacement ceiling fans, and help move the existing PowerPoints a few meters away to the now adjoining wall. We would also like 1 new Power point installed on the ceiling to power a ceiling mounted projector, this isn’t essential and is dependant on cost.

Stephen was very quick, knowledgeable and got what we wanted done to our satisfaction. Highly recommend
