Electrical services in North
Knut is preparing electrical coverage in North. 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 connecting appliances. If you need emergency electrical work, explain what has happened and whether there is an immediate danger. For immediate danger to life or property, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut connects customers with independent tradies; the tradie’s quote sets out the work they propose to do.
How to brief an electrical job
Describe what needs doing, where the job is, and when you want it done. Include useful details such as which light, power point or appliance is involved, what is happening, and when you first noticed the issue. Photos can help explain the job where they are safe and useful to take. For a fault, share any changes you have noticed, but do not put yourself at risk to investigate it. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.
Quotes and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee when you 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.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Electrical work involves licensed work, so Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. Compare the quotes you receive against the job you described, including the work each tradie proposes to do. Ask the tradie through Knut if you need clarification before choosing. When you book, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to arrange 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.
