ELECTRICAL RATES

How Much You Can Expect To Pay

If you’re looking for a trusted local electrician in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs who prioritises safety, quality, and professionalism, get in touch today.

Let’s discuss your job properly and ensure it’s done right the first time.

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.

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.

"Two other electricians had no success finding the problem"

​Sparky Steve came highly recommend by a good friend. We had a problem with a safety switch that was tripping on occasion, sometimes even when we were away. 2 other electricians had no success finding the problem. Sparky Steve was thorough and methodical in approach to eliminate the problem, clearly explaining the process and then what was causing the problem. I then pleasantly surprised when I received Steve's invoice - not the norm for tradies in our area! Steve recent carried out all our renovation electricals also replacing all the 63 downlights with fantastic LED Steve is an exceptional tradesman, you can tell he enjoys his job and takes pride in doing a top job, prices are very reasonable.

"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.
