Quote Preparation Fees

It is always free to book a quote visit for residential electrical work!

After the visit, we’ll prepare a quote for you. The vast majority of quotes we provide are completely free. This includes most standard electrical work, such as repairs, upgrades, and switchboard replacements.

In some cases — for example, large renovation projects or new builds that require detailed work based on architectural plans — preparing a quote can take significant time. In those situations, we may charge a quote preparation fee. If this applies, we’ll always discuss it with you in advance, so there are no surprises.

Don’t worry: any quote fee charged is partially or fully credited against the final cost of the job if you proceed with us.
