How We Price
How Electrical Work Gets Quoted
No published rates. The job gets looked at, then you get a figure before any work starts.
Rates move with the job and with the sparky's day, so a published hourly figure tells you very little about what your job will actually cost. What we do instead is get the detail in front of our licensed partner electrician, what the job is, when it needs doing, how hard the access is, and come back to you with a figure you can hold us to. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.

Questions
Power Point & Lighting FAQs
Is Handy Tradie 4 U an electrician?+
Electrical work is carried out by our insured electrical partner, not performed in-house. We manage the booking and stay your point of contact, and their details are confirmed with you before any work starts.
How much does an electrician cost in the Illawarra?+
We do not publish rates. What the job actually is, when it needs doing and how hard the access turns out to be all move the figure, so a number on a web page would only mislead you. We put the detail in front of our licensed partner electrician and come back with a price for your job, which you approve before anything starts.
Can you help with an urgent electrical fault?+
Yes. Get in touch and we'll move to get an electrician to you as quickly as possible.
Can electrical work be coordinated as part of my renovation?+
Yes. If you're already doing a kitchen, bathroom or wider renovation with us, electrical work is coordinated into that same project timeline rather than booked separately.
Do you do switchboard upgrades?+
Yes, through our electrical partner. Get in touch for an assessment and quote.
