The power cord on a lamp has come loose at the switch and the ends have come out. It’s unclear to me if it can be repaired or if the coordinator needs to be replaced but ideally it’s just some very minor electrical work.

Rewire a US lamp

$150

Newtown, New South Wales

27th May 2026

I bought this lamp in America and it's been used almost every day for six years. I've changed the bulbs once, after one got damaged in a move. I discovered this may have been quite dangerous, and supposedly the key danger point would be the electronics in the dimmer. It’s a modern lamp (from ~2019), inline dimmer in the cord, the wiring runs ~150cm through the pole of the lamp, the top unscrews, and there's two 90-degree sockets (photos attached). From what I understand, the main thing is the inline foot dimmer has to go completely. It's a 120V part and it's been sitting on 240V, so I just want it out of the circuit entirely. I'm fine for the lamp to just be on/off - no dimming. Though if the cost of a new dimmer would be immaterial, then happy to have another one. I leave the dimmer with maximum light because it’s always been a bit dim (perhaps because of the voltage), but it could just be the bulbs I’ve used. The light quality is actually perfect at present. I reckon the plan would be something like this: cut off the whole existing cord and dimmer, open up the top where the two sockets are, and test the internal wire that runs up the pole to see if the insulation is still sound. If it is just hook up a new black Australian cord and plug at the base (please note the photo of where it exits the pole). If the insulation’s stuffed it may need a new wire. I don't think it needs new sockets, the bulbs currently in use are 220 volt and working fine. Please quote for job and parts. Dimmer and complete wiring can be optional extras, or perhaps please provide a quote with different scenarios if possible. 1. New cord only 2. New cord and dimmer 3. New cord and wiring 4. New cord, wiring, and dimmer Please share a portfolio of similar cord switch outs you've done in the past. Thank you!

Electrician to fix protected power switch shorting after 4pm today

$200

Newtown NSW, Australia

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. For context there may be a socket that has been affected in the wall by all the rain recently as this impacted a light switch in our wall about 2 years ago.. Need someone who can come out to Newtown to fix this afternoon. 4pm or later. Thanks.

Great guy, and he quickly figured out the issue and fixed it.

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!

Outdoor Power Point

$300

Rosebery NSW, Australia

11th May 2026

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. There is already an internal powerpoint located directly on the inside wall, which is connected to the existing AC circuit, so I believe the new outlet can likely be run from there. Job should include: Supply and installation of outdoor weatherproof powerpoint Safe connection to existing circuit Testing and compliance The job appears relatively straightforward with easy access and should take approximately 1–2 hours. Please only respond if you are a licensed electrician and can provide licence details if required.

Outstanding electricial. Made sure he did a really good job and did exactly that. Highly recommend.

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
