Electrical jobs people commonly need

Electrical work can include finding the cause of a fault, installing or changing power points, and fitting or repairing lighting. You can also request help with switchboard work or connecting an appliance. If the issue is urgent, you can describe it as an emergency electrical job when requesting help. For immediate danger to life or property, such as an electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies for these services; it does not carry out the electrical work itself.

How to brief an electrical job

Explain what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. For fault finding, describe what you have noticed and when the problem occurs, without trying to diagnose the cause yourself. For a power point, light or appliance connection, say what you want installed or connected and where. Add photos if they help show the issue or the work area. Include any useful access details. Knut sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so clear information can help them understand what you need.
