Electrical: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician charge per hour in Australia?
Electricians typically charge $70–$130 per hour depending on the state and job type. After-hours and emergency callouts attract higher rates, often $150–$250/hr plus a callout fee of $80–$150.
Do I need a licensed electrician for all electrical work?
Yes — in Australia, all electrical work including new power points, light fittings, safety switches, and switchboard upgrades must be performed by a licensed electrician. The only DIY exception is replacing light globes.
What is a safety switch and do I need one?
A safety switch (RCD) shuts off power within milliseconds if it detects a fault, protecting against electric shock. Australian standards require safety switches on all power and lighting circuits. If your home doesn't have them, upgrading is a legal requirement when renovating.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
A standard switchboard upgrade takes 4–8 hours. If your home needs new wiring runs or the switchboard is in a difficult location, allow a full day. Your electrician will also need to notify your distributor (e.g., Ausgrid, Jemena, Citipower).
What should a Certificate of Electrical Safety include?
A Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) must describe the work performed, the licence number of the electrician, the address, and confirm the installation was tested and complies with AS/NZS 3000.
Can I add more power points to my home myself?
No. Adding power points involves working with mains power, which is illegal for unlicensed persons in all Australian states. An electrician can typically add a power point in 1–2 hours for $100–$250 per point.
