You may have been using the same electrician for the last few years but it doesn’t mean you’re getting the best bang for your buck. We’ve put together a comprehensive list of services and estimated pricing on each electrical service. Please note, these prices should only be used as a guide and quotes will vary based on the actual electrical situation and individual work performed.

Pricing estimates:

• Install or replace a power socket: $150 to $250
• Install new power point for appliances: $150 to $250
• Exterior power point: $350 - $400

This will depend on a variety of factors:

• Parts and materials - if the electrician has the parts in their van, or if they need to pick up something from an electrical store, you will be charged for what's needed. There may be a mark-up as well.
• Travel cost (this can be factored into the labour charge) - if the electrician charges travel costs, this is usually charged from the time the electrician leaves for your home, to when they arrive back at their base after the job. This will also include the time it takes to visit an electrical store to get any parts.
• GST - the total of 1, 2 will be added, and GST (15%) added.

Most electricians accept a range of payment methods, including:

• Direct debit (Internet Banking)
• Cheque
• Cash with Invoice
• Credit Card via the plumber’s website (surcharge may apply)
• On-site EFTPOS
