Electrician needed – swap 6 downlights, fit a dimmer, run a data cable

$500

Details

Hi, I need a licensed electrician for a few jobs at my place in Kingsford (old single-storey brick house). I've already got the main parts, so it should be mainly labour. 1. Living room lights: swap the 6 old halogen downlights for new LED ones (SAL Wave, plug-in type, 72mm cut-out). Remove the old transformers and lamp holders, fit a plug base on a joist next to each light (not buried in insulation), and set the lights to warm white (3000K). The existing holes are about 70mm – please don't enlarge them unless necessary. Test one on the dimmer before fitting the rest, and take a photo of where the plug bases are. 2. Living room switch: replace it with a Clipsal Iconic switch + rotary dimmer (switch on the left, dimmer on the right). Brick wall and the dimmer is about 55mm deep, so it may need chasing deeper. No flicker or buzz when dimmed, and please set the minimum level. 3. Data cable: run one Cat6A cable (about 15m) from the bedroom to the living room through the ceiling, using the existing holes. Cable and keystones are shielded – please bond the foil and drain wire to the keystone at both ends. Registered cabler needed. 4. Safety check: switchboard and roof wiring, especially an old junction point on a timber block. Fix anything unsafe (ask me first if it costs extra). Remove old dead wiring and fittings that definitely aren't needed. Please leave the alarm panel alone. 5. Wiring: let me know if the house wiring is old or worn. 6. Quote only for now – do I need these, and how much? - New switchboard - Upgrade from 80A to 100A - Three-phase – is it available in my street, and roughly what would it cost? - Surge protector I'm also planning ducted AC, a heat pump, solar + battery and maybe an EV charger – does that change anything now? Good to know: - Ceiling and insulation tested – no asbestos. - Ceiling is fragile – please only step on joists. Please include your licence no., ABN and insurance. CCEW needed on completion. Feel free to quote. Thanks!
