Electrician to fix lamp

$150

Stanmore, New South Wales

15th Apr 2026

I’m hoping to get advice or a quote regarding a floor lamp that appears to have an electrical fault. We removed one of the globes because it had blown, and after doing so we noticed the socket/head looked damaged with exposed wires/contacts. When the lamp was switched back on, it made a crackling noise and began to smoke, so we turned it off immediately and unplugged it. The lamp is a multi-head floor lamp, and the other two lights were working prior to switching it off. Could you please let me know if this is something that can be repaired safely, and an approximate cost to inspect and fix it? Or should I just buy a new lamp?

Qualified Electrician Needed – Replace Faulty Kitchen Circuit Breaker

$250

Surry Hills NSW, Australia

21st Mar 2026

Looking for a licensed electrician to replace a faulty miniature circuit breaker supplying power to my kitchen.
