Electrical Service Tips for Forrest Residents

Check the licence

In Australia, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, even small jobs such as replacing a power point: ask the provider for their licence number and check it on your state or territory’s register.

If something electrical looks unsafe

Stop using any power point, switch or appliance that sparks, smells of burning or feels hot. If it is safe to do so, switch off the power at the switchboard, then book.

Test your safety switches

Safety switches should be tested every three months with their test button. If one does not switch off, have a licensed electrician check it.

Check what the price includes

Whether parts and fittings are included, whether there is a call-out or minimum charge, and what happens if the electrician finds more work once they start.
