We had Marcus and John from The Local Electrician come out to run a cable from downstairs to upstairs for our internet to work. The guys were great and super easy to talk to! They were very helpful, took their time and even spoke to our provider so that our wifi was up and running before they left. We really appreciate the work they did for us and the patience they had. Thank you guys, will be calling you back again ☺️Update: 7/4/23We had Justin come out to look at fault that occurred in our switchboard. He was extremely helpful, very clear and super friendly! We really appreciate his kind manner and being so upfront with us. Thank you so much 😊

reliable, honest and operates with integrity. i recommend this company to anyone who is looking for great electricians. Dikren took the time to answer any questions i had, and provided me with all the options available- from repair to replacement. As a woman it can be difficult to find trustworthy electricians to trust with your electrical needs. Dikren is number 1 in my books.

We had a few jobs that needed doing from mounting a TV to installing a floodlight and having our down-lights in our kitchen replaced and fans installed in our bedrooms. They always kept us informed with any updates they had on the work they were doing and always informed us if there was anything we needed to confirm. Will be back again!

We had an amazing experience with Nick. He was on time, very friendly and helpful.He listened to the issue (which I had tried to sort with several other electricians) and he explained the options of what could be the problem.He didn’t try to push us to get unnecessary work done as other electricians had done. Instead suggested getting the hot water system checked first as that was possibly the issue. Turns out that is what it was and an easy fix.Would 100% recommend The Local Electrician.Thanks Nick for helping us sort this issue that had caused our electricity bill to sky rocket!

Hamzi came to quote on a job at my mum's house today. He was extremely genuine, efficient, and professional. Hamzi explained the situation with my mum's old electrical board which was not compliant had asbestos and needed urgent upgrading. He was so patient with both my mum and my older sister who was informed of the situation. He sent her the quote immediately. I would recommend this professional electrician and his company. Hamzi knew how to break down complex issues into plain language. As the decision is out of my hands now I would recommend Hamzi and hope he gets lots of work in the future.

Due to the problem i was having they investigated further and found dodgy wiring from previous owner (undersized wire and over sized CB = 🔥)4. Within a couple days had ordered all the parts needed and out early morning fixing it.5. Completed all works (even in cold miserable rain outside at the panel); of which a fair amount of work was needed and split between two sparky's.6. Cleaned up after themselves.7.

The team at The Local Electrician were fantastic. Nicholas talked me through options about the work that needed doing and provided excellent advice and multiple quotes. Ibby and Jordan came out to execute the job and were punctual, professional and friendly. The quality of work was excellent and their attention to detail is first class. They got through a mountain of work and the difference it has made to this Reno project is huge. I would happily use this team again and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else. Many thanks

We had our three phase consumer mains and switchboard upgraded two weeks ago. Nick came for the inspection and gave us a quote. He explained each job in great detail and I really appreciate his expertise. Also, I am very impressed by the excellent work of Will and Ibby. They are professional, skilled, friendly and well organised. Highly recommend.

Ben Wilson-Hill

23:26 28 Feb 23

Absolutely top notch service, and pretty fair on price. Turns out we had asbestos in the fuse box and no kill switches - pitfalls of being in an old house. Nick gave us no nonsense explanation, and pricing before we agreed. No fee for the quote.Will was the electrician on the job - absolute cracker and all round good guy. One of my jobs was mounting my new 86” TV. Looks bloody fantastic, with all new power outlets and cables all hidden away. Will was super pedantic, and said he installed it the way he would’ve installed it for himself. Very detail oriented and completely professional.I would not hesitate to recommend these guys. I’m so happy with the work they’ve done, and though we had a couple of surprise expenses, I felt pricing was more than fair. Use them for your next job - I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I contacted The Local Electrician in relation to replacing an asbestos meter board and some other general electrical work. It wasn't long until I was contacted by Nick who arrived as planned the following morning. He was polite and friendly and I was immediately impressed by his knowledge and understanding of what I wanted done ... he provided me with a detailed quote and was able to answer all of my questions and offer suggestions as to the best options to get the desired outcomes. I checked out the business through various sources and was happy to accept the quote in the knowledge that I would get a high quality job done by a reputable company for a reasonable cost. We arranged a date and time for the work to be completed ... the guys arrived on time and after an on site briefing by Nick, Ben and Hoss got stuck in and completed the jobs with a minimum of fuss. Ben in particular made what seemed to me to be a complex job look rather easy. Everything seemed to go smoothly and I am very satisfied with the work done. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Local Electrician on the basis that they are very professional, highly skilled, well organised, reliable, responsive, polite and importantly, customer focussed.

Our power pole went down in a storm. My email sent at 7:20am was responded to within ten minutes with a phone call. As soon as they had the new pole, Jordan and John worked all day in the pouring rain to get us reconnected. Apart from doing a brilliant job in less than ideal conditions, they were also really lovely people. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Michelle B

05:17 06 Jan 23

Highly recommend. With the wild weather our power pole came down in the middle of the night leaving us with no power. Jordan and John worked all day in the worst conditions to install a new pole and restore our power. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys.

We had no electricity and couldn't figure out what the issue was. Ben came figured out the issue, inspected the fuse box, resetted the safety switches, changed a melted PowerPoint (thanks to our dodgy builder) all in under 20minutes. We have power again, all for the minimum cost of $198 (which waives the $45 call out fee). Very happy with the service.

Experienced, professional surge protector electricians

Have you ever been warned about lightning in a weather forecast? Lightning strikes can literally be billions of volts. Without adequate surge protection, power surges from lightning can damage or destroy computers, security systems and telephones (not to mention trees, houses and lives).

Most service entrance surge protection devices are generally handled by the upstream protection from the actual electrical grid. However, if you have an investment in electronics or critical digital storage onsite, surge protection is vital.

We can install surge protection devices and an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) in any setting. Please call us today for a quote or more information.

Why choose The Local Electrician for surge protector installation and repair

When you’re looking for a company to help with your surge protection device installation, you want the best. At The Local Electrician, we offer the highest quality surge protection services in Sydney. Here’s why:

Licensed & Insured Electricians

We are fully licensed and insured, so you can rest assured that we have the necessary credentials to handle any job. Our team of electricians are highly trained experts who are always on call to help with any electrical problem you might have.

On-time Electrician Or It's Free!

We go out of our way to ensure that we provide our customers with the promptest service. If we miss your appointment or don't arrive on time, your surge protection service is on us!

Same Day Services

TLE offers same-day service, so if your home or business is experiencing an electrical problem, you can count on us to fix it fast. We know how important it is to keep your home or business running smoothly, so we make sure that when you need us, we're there!

Free Safety Inspection

Our unique surge protection service includes reporting and confirming any other electrical issues that may occur. We’ll be testing your surge protection devices and ensure your property is safe from lightning strikes, surges and power spikes that can damage your home appliances and furniture.

5 Year Warranty On All Materials

Besides the fact that we use only the best German-made hardware, we offer a 5-year warranty on materials, so you can be confident that your system will be reliable for years to come.

Types of home surge protection devices

There are a variety of home surge protectors on the market, and they all serve slightly different purposes. Here are the most popular types:

Whole-house surge protection — This surge protector is installed at the main electrical panel and protects your home’s electrical equipment from surges and spikes. It’s an inexpensive way to ensure that all of your appliances are protected from damage caused by power surges or lightning strikes.
External surge protection — This prevents 80% of all external power surges, such as lightning strikes, corporate power outages, or maintenance challenges. The external protector is attached to the utility pole in the breaker, safeguarding your home against external power spikes.
Strip surge protection — The strip surge protector is a type of portable surge protector that you can move from one outlet to another depending on where it is needed most. This type of surge protector comes with several outlets for plugging in devices such as computers, televisions, printers and more.

If you need to repair or install your surge protection devices, The Local Electricians can help! Give us a call today!

Surge protector installation and repair

Although some electrical repairs can be quick, the best path still is to prevent potential issues in the first place. Our team can install surge protection devices in your home or business. You can now decide to have a reliable surge protector on your premises.

Aside from lightning strikes, power surges can also be caused by power grid switching (done by utilities) and when refrigerators and air conditioners turn on and off. The energy spikes can damage the wires and the electronics connected to those outlets. Again, these scenarios can be out of your control. The good thing is you can still prepare for them by having a reliable surge protector.

We’re just one call away!

It’s never a good idea to delay a surge protection device installation because electrical surges are unpredictable and can damage your appliances anytime. If you contact us today, we can send an electrician to your site immediately upon request.

Trust TLE can repair or install your surge protection device! Contact us today if you have any questions about our surge protection services. If it’s your first service with us, we’ll give you 15% off!

What causes a surge?

Electrical surges are often caused by lightning strikes but more commonly by appliances drawing out too much energy. When an appliance, such as a portable air conditioner or washing machine, is connected to a power point, it may need a large amount of electricity. If the outlets are old or damaged, there is faulty wiring, or too much power’s being used, a surge may occur.

How long do surge protectors last?

An electrical surge protector will diminish every time it protects an appliance from an electrical surge. This is why there is no general lifetime of a surge protector. Most will last three to five years, but replacing them every two years is recommended. Surge protectors might continue to work as additional outlets but not protect devices if they work for too long.

We strongly recommend reading our blog for more details to know more about what surge protection is and why it is essential.
