Electrical services in Inner West Sydney

Knut is preparing electrical coverage in Inner West Sydney. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Common electrical jobs

Electrical jobs can include finding the cause of a fault, installing or working on power points, and sorting out lighting. You can also request help with a switchboard, appliance connection or emergency electrical work. Describe what is happening or what you want done, rather than trying to diagnose the issue yourself. If there are several tasks, list them together so tradies can consider the full scope when preparing a quote. Electrical work involves licensing, and Knut only matches these jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified.

How to brief an electrical job

Give a clear description of the work, the Inner West Sydney location, and when you would like it done. Explain what you have noticed, when the issue occurs, and whether it affects one point or more than one, if you know. For planned work, say what you want changed or connected and identify any relevant appliances or fittings. Add photos if they help show the area or equipment, but do not put yourself at risk to take them. Include every task you want quoted so tradies can assess the job from the same brief.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

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

Choosing and checking a tradie

Electrical work involves licensed work, so check that the tradie you choose is suitable for the tasks in your brief. Knut only matches electrical jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified. Compare the quotes received against the work you asked for, and check that the scope is clear enough for you to understand what is included. You can message the tradie through Knut and follow progress in one place after booking. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to organise maintenance across many properties.
