How Much You Can Expect To Pay

Honest Electrical Estimates – No Guesswork

I’m always happy to discuss your job and provide a clear estimate based on experience.

But like a mechanic diagnosing a vehicle fault, a licensed electrician often cannot provide a realistic price until the system has been properly inspected.

An honest electrician will prioritise safety and compliance over unrealistic fixed pricing — especially in older Sydney properties.

"Steve is a legend. I won't go anywhere else"

Steve is a legend. I won't go anywhere else. I trust him with my home and my family living in it. In addition to being very reasonably priced and a really nice guy with a great sense of humour, he does the job properly. No cutting corners and will always recommend the best way of doing things. No matter what the issue, he always has a solution. He is passionate about being a sparky and takes pride in his work. I have had a few electricians over the many years of living at different properties, and the moment I move in, Sparky Steve is the first point of call. I get him in to check the place out and repair or update anything that requires fixing when it comes to electrical. I have now known Steve for almost 5 years. So if you want to keep you, your family and your home safe, call Sparky Steve. You won't regret it.

Sparky Steve was a fantastic help on our recent renovation. we went with Sparky Steve not on price, but because of his knowledge and passion for the job, He not only pointed out important items, and power point locations the Architect, builder and kitchen company failed include but he also designed the electrical system to suit our needs like planning bathroom ventilation, the external lighting, pre-wiring for garden lights, sensor lighting in garage and pathways, All great ideas that had been overlooked and would have been very expensive to do afterwards Steve not only handled all our electrical requirements, but also looked after the alarm install, data cabling and new FTA antenna and cabling. You know a tradesman's good when the other tradies want his contact details. Great value for money rated on the expertise, professionalism and price, I couldn't fault the "hard-case" big Kiwi.

Steve has done extensive work at our apartment for a number of serious and not so serious electrical issues. He was recommended to us by a friend and we soon understood why. He is the most professional, thorough and personable tradesman we have ever dealt with. He is the type of guy who takes pride in doing the job safely and correctly the first time which was a relief after some of the other guys we had put up with. On top of this he is a great communicator, always reliable and on time and we are often pleasantly surprised about his invoices which we have almost never said having work done in The Eastern Suburbs!
