RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICAL SERVICES
Electrical work around the home, from faults to upgrades.
Whether something has stopped working or you are planning new electrical points as part of a renovation, Dial-a-Contractor can arrange the appropriate electrical work for the job.
LIGHTING
Lighting & switching
Lighting repairs, replacement fittings, switches, additional lighting points and suitable upgrades around the home.
POWER
Plug points & circuits
Additional or altered socket outlets, appliance supplies and circuits where the existing installation and intended load need to be considered.
DISTRIBUTION
Distribution-board work
DB faults, protection devices, breaker problems and upgrade requirements where changes or repairs are needed.
COMMON ELECTRICAL WORK
From smaller repairs to electrical work for a renovation.
Electrical requirements vary widely. Some jobs are straightforward repairs while others involve new circuits, alterations to the fixed installation or work linked to building and renovation projects.
Tripping & power faults
Investigate breakers, earth leakage, circuits and other possible causes where power repeatedly trips or parts of the home lose power.
New plugs & switches
Add or relocate suitable electrical points where the installation can accommodate the intended requirement.
Lighting upgrades
Replace or add lighting, switches and fittings as part of repairs, improvements or renovation work.
Appliance supplies
Electrical requirements for ovens, hobs, geysers and other appliances where suitable circuits or supplies may be required.
WHEN THE POWER KEEPS TRIPPING
Repeated electrical faults need investigation, not guesswork.
If the same breaker or earth-leakage device keeps tripping, or if fittings show heat damage or burning, the cause needs to be investigated rather than simply resetting or replacing components.
Repeated tripping
A recurring trip may indicate a fault on a circuit, appliance or part of the installation.
Heat or burn damage
Discoloured, melted or damaged electrical fittings should be treated as a fault requiring proper assessment.
Partial power loss
If only part of the property loses power, the affected circuit or protection may need investigation.
Older installations
Older wiring and previous alterations may need closer inspection when faults occur or new loads are added.
ELECTRICAL WORK DURING RENOVATIONS
Plan the electrical work before walls and ceilings are closed up.
Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and other renovations often require new circuits, lighting, outlets or appliance supplies. These changes should be dealt with before the finishing work is completed.
Kitchen renovations
Ovens, hobs, appliances, plugs and lighting may require new or altered electrical supplies.
Bathroom renovations
Lighting, extraction and electrical fittings should suit the bathroom layout and applicable electrical requirements.
Home extensions
New rooms may require lighting, sockets and circuits connected to or added to the existing installation.
General renovations
Electrical changes can be completed alongside ceilings, walls and other building work before finishes are installed.
ELECTRICAL COC & COMPLIANCE
Need an electrical Certificate of Compliance?
Where an electrical inspection or Certificate of Compliance is required, the installation may need to be inspected and tested. If defects are identified, remedial work may be required before certification can be completed.
COC inspections
Arrange an inspection where an electrical Certificate of Compliance is required.
Electrical repairs
If defects are identified, the required remedial work can be addressed before certification.
Renovation electrical work
Electrical alterations made during renovation work should be dealt with through the appropriate electrical and compliance process.

HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS
Common questions about residential electrical work.
Why does my electricity keep tripping?
There are several possible causes. Note which breaker or protection device trips and what was running when it happened, then include that information in your enquiry.
Can I add more plug points?
Often yes, but the existing installation, circuit arrangement and intended load need to be considered first.
Do you do electrical COCs?
Electrical inspection and COC requirements can be arranged where appropriate, including remedial work if defects are found.
Can you handle the electrical work during a renovation?
Yes. Electrical work can be coordinated with the building, plumbing, ceilings, cabinetry and other renovation work.
