 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a non compliant switchboard and obtained several quotes to rectify. Skene’s Electrical was the most competitive and undertook the work in a timely and professional manner. Very pleased with the whole experience and will use again if I have any electrical problems.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Duncan! He was friendly, easy to deal with, and did a great job. His pricing was fair and reasonable, and the quality of his work was excellent. He turned up when he said he would, communicated well throughout the job, and left everything tidy when he finished. I'd happily use him again and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my home before an electrician visits?

It helps to clear access to switchboards, power points, and the areas where work is planned. If you have pets, securing them in another room can make the visit smoother. For larger projects, having any renovation plans or appliance details on hand allows us to assess requirements more accurately.

Are your electrical installations compliant with current NSW regulations?

Yes. All work is carried out in line with current New South Wales electrical standards and safety requirements. Where required, we provide documentation and compliance confirmation for your records.

Can you help plan electrical layouts for renovations or new rooms?

We regularly assist homeowners during planning stages, helping map out lighting, power, and data points so spaces are functional, flexible, and future ready before walls and finishes are completed.

Do you offer advice on energy efficient electrical solutions

Yes. We can recommend lighting, ventilation, and electrical setups that reduce energy use while maintaining comfort and performance, including LED lighting and efficient appliance connections.

What should I do if I notice signs of an electrical issue?

If you notice frequent circuit trips, flickering lights, warm power points, or unusual smells, it is best to arrange an electrical assessment as soon as possible. Early checks can help prevent safety risks and more costly repairs.
