Electrical services in Inner Melbourne
Knut is preparing electrical coverage in Inner Melbourne. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Common electrical jobs
Electrical work can include finding the cause of a fault, installing or changing power points, and fitting or repairing lighting. Tradies can also quote for switchboard work and appliance connections. If you need emergency electrical help, describe what has happened when you request a quote. For immediate danger to life or property, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies; it does not carry out the work itself.
How to brief an electrical job
Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you need it done. For fault finding, explain what is happening and when you first noticed it. For a power point, light or appliance connection, say what you want installed or connected and include relevant details about the item. Photos can be useful where they help explain the job. You provide the description once; Knut sends it to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. When you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie's quoted price for the work. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Knut compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Electrical work involves licensed work, so check that the person doing the job is appropriately qualified for the work you need. Knut only matches electrical jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified. Read the quotes you receive and consider how well each one addresses your brief before choosing. Once you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.
