Booking an electrician on Mozome
This guide is for anyone in Australia who needs an electrician: for new lights or power points, rewiring, a switchboard upgrade, smart home devices or a safety inspection. It covers the electrical services listed on Mozome, what they cost, how booking and payment work, and how to choose an electrician.
Mozome is an online marketplace where you find, book and pay for local home services. Providers list their own services and set their own prices.
What’s included
Electrical work on Mozome is listed under these services, each with its own page of services and providers near you.
EV Charger Installation
Installing a charger for an electric vehicle at home. Say which car and charger you have and where you park, as the provider may need to check that your switchboard can take the extra load.
Lighting Installation
Installing or replacing indoor and outdoor lights, such as downlights, pendants and garden lights, and the switches and dimmers that control them. Say how many lights there are and whether you are supplying the fittings.
Wiring & Rewiring
Adding or moving power points and switches, running new circuits, and replacing old wiring. Rewiring can mean opening walls or ceilings, so ask whether patching is part of the price.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Upgrading or replacing your switchboard, for example to replace old fuses with circuit breakers, add safety switches, or make room for new circuits. Tell the provider how old it is and what you plan to add.
Smart Home Systems
Installing smart lights, switches, thermostats, sensors and similar devices. You can set up plug-in devices yourself, but anything wired into your home’s electrics must be connected by a licensed electrician.
Electrical Inspections
A check of the wiring, switchboard, power points and safety switches, for example before buying an older home or if a safety switch keeps tripping. Ask what it covers and whether you get a written report.
Each service is described by the provider who lists it, and two services with the same name can cover different work, so read the description before you book.
What electrical work costs
There aren’t enough electrical services listed on Mozome in Australia yet to give a fair price range from the listings.
Each provider sets their own prices, and you see the price of a service before you book.
What you pay depends mostly on:
- the type of job and how long it takes
- parts and fittings, and whether they are included in the price
- access: wiring in ceilings, under floors or inside walls takes longer to reach
- the age and condition of the existing wiring and switchboard
- any call-out or minimum charge the provider has

How booking and payment work
You see the price first
The price of a service is shown before you book, so you know what you are agreeing to.
At least 24 hours’ notice
Bookings need at least 24 hours’ notice, unless you mark the booking as urgent.
Paying by card
You pay by card through Stripe. If a service asks for an advance, you pay it when you book. The balance is paid after the job, by card or, where the provider offers it, in cash.
If the provider doesn’t respond
If the provider doesn’t respond to your booking in time, the booking is cancelled and you get a full refund.
If you cancel, how much of what you paid by card comes back depends on how long before the job you cancel:
| You cancel | Refund |
|---|---|
| 24 hours or more before the job | 100% |
| 12 to 24 hours before | 75% |
| 6 to 12 hours before | 50% |
| 2 to 6 hours before | 25% |
| Less than 2 hours before | No refund |
Verified providers are marked
Providers who have been verified are marked as verified. Providers who haven’t been verified yet are listed too, so look for the marking when you compare.
Reviews come from bookings
Ratings and reviews come from completed bookings.
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. Marking a booking as urgent lets you book with less than 24 hours’ notice.
How to choose an electrician
Check the licence
In Australia, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Licences are issued by each state and territory: ask the provider for their licence number and check it on the public register.
Read the reviews
Look for comments about jobs like yours, such as lighting, rewiring or a switchboard.
Describe the job clearly
Say what you want installed or fixed, where, and what is happening now. For an installation, give the make or model of what you want fitted.
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.
