Common electrical jobs
Electrical jobs can range from tracking down a fault to installing power points or lighting. You can also request help with a switchboard, connecting an appliance or an emergency electrical issue. When describing the work, say what is happening and which part of the property is affected. If you are unsure what needs fixing, explain the symptoms rather than trying to diagnose the cause yourself. For immediate danger to life or property, such as a fire or electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.
How to brief your electrical job
Give a clear description of what needs doing, where the property is and when you would like the work done. For fault finding, include what you have noticed and when the problem occurs. For a power point, light, switchboard or appliance connection, explain what you want changed or connected. Add photos if they help show the issue or the area involved. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so useful details can help them understand the job before quoting.
