Andrew responded promptly to fix an issue with the bathroom light switch. Came out to fix it on the same day I called him. His "fix" worked for a couple of months, before having the exact same issue. When I rang Andrew, he said he is too busy to come back and has washed his hands off the job.

Andrew was punctual, knowledgeable and thorough with the work. He was patient by testing different components and variables making sure he found the real culprit to the problem that led to saving money. Highly recommended for quality work.

Andrew did a lot of work at our house, including 4 reverse cycle aircon units, many additional power points, cooker install, security lighting and upgraded the fuse box. He was a very quick worker and always tidied up any mess, which is rare these days. I would not hesitate to recommend him for your electrical work.

My power vanished altogether late morning so I was lucky enough to find Andrew on my smart phone (how did we manage without them) after a Google for Electricians in my area. Well mannered, efficient, professional straight to the problem..... all fixed in no time. He even came inside to see all was working correctly. Would recommend Andrew to all and have him back in a flash.
