Electrical jobs you can request

You can request help with fault finding, power points, lighting, switchboard work or an appliance connection. Emergency electrical work is also listed as a service. Describe what you need done and where the work is located so suitable local tradies can assess the request. If the job involves more than one task, include each one in your description.

For immediate danger to life or property, such as an electrical hazard, fire, gas leak or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

How to brief an electrical job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you need it done. Add photos if they help explain the issue or show the area involved. For fault finding, say what you have noticed and when it happens; for lighting, power points or an appliance connection, identify what you want installed or connected. Include any relevant details about access or other tasks that need to be handled at the same time. A clear description helps suitable local tradies understand the request and prepare quotes. You only need to describe the job once through Knut.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee at booking: 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Check the quote and booking details before you decide to proceed.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Electrical work involves licensed work, so Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified.

Knut compares the quotes received and recommends the option that best fits the job, on merit; you make the booking decision. Once booked through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. If you need maintenance across multiple properties, include that context when describing the work.
