Common questions
Why do switchboard upgrade quotes vary so much?
Scope varies enormously: adding safety switches to a sound board is cheap, while replacing an asbestos panel, upgrading mains and relocating the board sits at the top of the range.
Can I install a power point myself in Australia?
No. DIY electrical work is illegal in every state and voids insurance. All fixed wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
