Electrical services in Melbourne East
Knut is preparing electrical coverage in Melbourne East. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Electrical jobs you can request
You can request help with fault finding when an electrical issue needs to be identified, or ask about installing or changing power points and lighting. Switchboard work and appliance connections are also among the jobs available through Knut. If the work is described as an emergency, include what has happened and whether there is immediate danger. For immediate danger to life or property, such as an electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut is a way to request quotes and book suitable tradies; it does not carry out electrical work itself.
Give a clear brief for the electrical work
Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Be as specific as you can about the fault or the item involved: for example, say which power point, light, appliance or switchboard needs attention. Add photos if they would help explain the job. A clear brief gives suitable local tradies information to consider when responding with quotes. If you are unsure what the problem is, explain what you have noticed rather than guessing at a cause. You can send the job description once through Knut.
Quotes and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Knut sends your job to suitable local tradies who cover Melbourne East and offer the service, then compares the quotes received and recommends one that best fits the job on merit. If you book, 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.
Choosing and checking an electrical tradie
Electrical work involves licensed work, so check that the proposed job and quote match what you asked for before booking. Knut only matches electrical jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified. Consider whether the quote addresses the work in your brief, including any details you added about the fault, location or appliance. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job on merit; you can review the option before booking. After booking through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place.
Knut's booking fee
Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
