Electrical services in Melbourne South East
Knut is preparing electrical coverage in Melbourne South East. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Electrical jobs you can request
Electrical work can range from tracking down a fault to installing or changing power points and lighting. You can also request help with a switchboard or appliance connection. If you have an electrical issue that needs urgent attention, you can describe it as an emergency electrical job. Be clear about what is affected and what you have noticed, without trying to investigate or repair electrical equipment yourself. Knut is newly available in Melbourne South East and connects customers with independent local tradies for these types of work.
How to brief an electrical job
Explain what you need done, where the work is, and when you would like it carried out. Say what is happening and when you first noticed the issue; for example, identify which power point, light or appliance is involved if you know. Include photos when they help show the area or equipment, but do not touch anything that may be unsafe. Mention any access details the tradie should know. A clear description gives suitable tradies a better basis for assessing the job and preparing a quote.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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. You pay the booking fee when booking through Knut.
Choosing and checking an electrical tradie
Electrical work involves licensed work, so check that the tradie is appropriately licensed for the job. Knut only matches electrical requests to tradies whose licence has been verified. Read the quotes you receive and consider how well each one fits the work you described before deciding. Knut compares received quotes and makes a recommendation on merit; you choose whether to book. Once booked 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.
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.
