FAQs — Electrical in Fitzroy, Melbourne
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.
